Although you can come off the M6 and take the M62 into Manchester, we recommend you come off after Junction 20 on the M6 and join the M56 (signposted Manchester Airport). Follow the above directions “By car from the south” from joining the M56 onwards.

Take a train to Manchester Piccadilly, then either:

• Take a taxi (you will find plenty outside the railway station, approximately £10 fare to the Institute). It is easiest to ask the driver to head for the Christie Hospital on Wilmslow Road.
• Go to Piccadilly bus station and catch a number 42 bus towards Stockport/Didsbury/Reddish or a 142 to East Didsbury.
  • Ask for the Christie Hospital and the driver will let you know which stop to get off at. It can take 20-40 mins by bus depending on the time of day.
  • The bus stop is immediately after the Christie, and the MCRC Building is directly opposite, and the Paterson building on the other side of the road

• If you are arriving at Manchester Airport, the simplest option is to take a taxi.
  • Ask for the CRUK Manchester Institute or the Christie Hospital.
  • Approximate price £15-20, journey time around 20 minutes.
