Department of History and Philosophy of Science

How to find the Department

The Department of History and Philosophy of Science is on Free School Lane. This is in the centre of Cambridge, between Pembroke Street and Bene't Street.

The Department is the first building on your right as you walk up Free School Lane from the junction with Pembroke Street. The building was formerly the Laboratory of Physical Chemistry and still has the old sign above the door.

Free School Lane is a short walk (about 500m) from the bus station, which is served by frequent buses from the railway station and the Park & Ride sites.

There are a few pay-and-display parking spaces on Free School Lane, and the Grand Arcade multi-storey car park is nearby. However, we recommend that visitors travelling to Cambridge by car should use Park & Ride.
