Car The airport is situated adjacent to the A2 Sydenham bypass, a dual carriageway which has clear city centre signposting.

Bus A regular Airbus operates into the city centre every 30 minutes. It costs £2.

Trains There is a rail link to the city centre, with a shuttle bus to Sydenham station. Trains to Central Station run every 30 minutes and cost £1.05. As Central Station belies its name, this is not a time-effective way to get into the city centre.
