Getting to Queen’s

Coming by rail

Arrive at Birmingham New Street, and look for trains stopping at University. This is two stops on the local line toward Longbridge. Trains are normally every 15 minutes. From University it is a 10 minute walk to Queen’s.

To get from University exit the station and turn right. At the roundabout, turn right again down Vincent Drive. Go across the next mini roundabout on to Farquhar Road, and at the next T junction turn left into Somerset Road. After 50 yards, the main entrance to Queen’s is on your left. Follow the signs to Reception.

Coming By car

We are next to the Nuffield Hospital which is quite well signposted once you get close to Edgbaston.

Leave the M5 at Junction 4. At the roundabout, take the third exit onto A38 Birmingham Road for 7.6 miles. Continue on the A38, going through Longbridge, Northfield and Selly Oak. You will pass Selly Oak station on your right, and continue through a shopping parade. After leaving this you will pass the main University gates on your left and immediately afterwards turn left onto Edgbaston Park Road. After about 0.5 mile turn left onto Somerset Road. The entrance to the Queen's Foundation is 200 yards on the left (after the turning to Farquhar Road).
