How To Get To Nottingham

Travelling to Nottingham

Nottingham is virtually slap bang in the middle of England, North-East of Birmingham and South-East of Sheffield. It is reachable by road, rail and air. Its centrality is one of the reasons why it is so hugely popular with stags & hens.

  • By train, it takes 1hr 45mins from London, 1hr 20mins from Birmingham, 1hr 50mins from Manchester and 4hrs 45mins from Edinburgh (with 1 change).
  • By road, you need to get to the M1, unless you’re coming from the Western side of the M6, in which case take the A52 off the M6 at Stoke-on-Trent. If it’s the M5 you’re heading from, get to the M1 via the M42 near Birmingham.
  • East Midlands Airport (EMA) is serviced by several major UK & Ireland locations.
