Arriving by Road The University is at Falmer on the A27 between Brighton and Lewes, about four miles (six kilometres) from the centre of Brighton. Please follow signs for University of Sussex on the north side of the A27. This is not to be confused with the University of Brighton, which also has a campus at Falmer, but on the south side of the A27. Here’s a map of the University of Sussex campus.
London
and the north:
From the east or west: Pedestrian access is through a subway under the A27 – follow signs for the University of Sussex (not to be confused with the University of Brighton’s campus, also at Falmer, but to the south of the A27). Falmer is on the line between Brighton and Lewes, about eight minutes' travel time in each direction. Four trains an hour go there during the day time. Visitors traveling via London and the west should take a train to Brighton and change there for Falmer. The journey time from London to Brighton is just under an hour. You can also change at Lewes for Falmer, if you are coming from the east. You can check train times and live departures to and from Falmer with National Rail.
Eurostar operates
train services from continental Europe via the Channel Tunnel. From the
London St Pancras
domestic terminal you can take a train direct to Brighton (see above). From Pool Valley you need to walk 100 metres to the Old Steine where you can catch a bus direct to the University (the 25, 25A, 25B and 25C will all get you directly there). The 25 and 25A also run from Churchill Square. In addition, the 28 and 29 go from the Old Steine and stop right outside the University campus on their way to Lewes and beyond. Travel time is about 20-30 minutes. Bus timetables and information are available from Brighton buses.
Alternatively,
taxis are available at both
Brighton and
Lewes train stations and at many places in the
centre of Brighton. It is about four miles (six kilometres) from central
Brighton to the University. (There is no taxi service at Falmer station
itself.) It is often quicker to catch the train direct to Falmer from
Brighton or Lewes. From London Heathrow the coach is more convenient, taking 2 hours. To go by train is inconvenient since it requires several changes and is more expensive. The London Underground Piccadily Line can be taken from Heathrow to London Victoria, from which a train can be taken to Brighton, travel time coming to over two hours. European budget airlines tend to fly to Luton, Stansted and London City airports, but please be aware that these are some distance away from Brighton, although public transport links are available.
Here’s a
map showing Gatwick and Heathrow in relation to
the University of Sussex. Stansted and Luton are north of London and so not
featured. Maps |
