About Sheffield
Getting Here
Sheffield is located in the north of England, around 120 miles and 2 hours travelling time by road or rail from London.
Sheffield’s nearest airport is the new Doncaster Robin Hood, though typically this has been constructed before any supporting infrastructure is in place. Hence, unless you are planning on hiring a car, it is likely to be quicker and more convenient to fly to either Bradford Leeds or East Midlands and catch the flightlink coach to Sheffield, or to fly to Manchester and catch the hourly direct train service.
However, if travelling from Western Europe, the recent opening of the HS1 railway line to London means that the Eurostar train service now offers a practical alternative to flying, particularly since arrivals from the continent terminate at St Pancras International, from where intercity trains depart to Sheffield every half hour.
Train links with the rest of the UK are plentiful, with half-hourly services to and from Birmingham, Bristol, Manchester, Leeds, Nottingham and Newcastle and many other destinations. For specific times see the National Rail Enquiries website.
In conjunction with East Midlands Trains we are pleased to offer discount return rail travel on selected routes.
