How to get to the city centre from Sutton Bonington Campus

There are many transport links that will get you there. In fact, it’s so close that you might even take yourself there on a bike or on foot!

Sutton Bonington Campus is situated 11 miles south of the central campuses, near the village of Sutton Bonington - so if you're studying on this campus, you're not going to be able to walk into Nottingham City Centre. That shouldn't stop you visiting though!

Let's look at the different ways you can get to Nottingham’s city centre from the campus.

Bus and tram

Nottingham has an award-winning public transport system. It’s fast, friendly and incredibly efficient. Discounted student fares are available, and if you get a you can use it on the tram too.Ìý

Or walk to the South Entrance to catch Trent Barton’s services from University Boulevard. indigo services stop on Friar Lane in the city centre, which is just off Market Square.Ìý
