Airports

The airports most commonly used by overseas visitors to the UK are: Manchester (nearest to Sheffield), London Heathrow and London Gatwick.

Heathrow: Take the fast train service to Paddington and then the underground to St. Pancras Rail Station. A frequent service to Sheffield is available on Midland Mainline (total journey time about 3-4 hours). Alternatively from Heathrow take the Piccadilly Line (London Underground) to Kings Cross-St Pancras then go to the main train station at St Pancras.

Gatwick: Take the Thames Link train to Kings Cross-St Pancras and then as above (this connection involves 200m on foot; total journey time about 3-4 hours).

Manchester: Take the train to Sheffield from the airport (at some times this may involve a change at Manchester Piccadilly), (journey time 100 min). This is by far the easiest option and connecting flights to Manchester from other UK airports can normally be obtained.
