Local Information

Getting to Canterbury
From London. The easiest way to get to Canterbury is to take the Southeastern high-speed train from St. Pancras to Canterbury West. There is also a slower service from London Victoria to Canterbury East.

From Gatwick. To make the trip by train, take the Gatwick
Express to London Victoria. Then, follow the instructions above. St. Pancras can be reached from London Victoria by taking the Victoria Line north to Kings Cross/St. Pancras on the underground. Gatwick is roughly 70 miles from Canterbury, so it is possible to make the trip by car.

From Heathrow. To make the trip by train, take the Heathrow Express to London Paddington. Then, follow the instructions above. St. Pancras can be reached from Paddington by taking the Circle Line to
Kings Cross/St. Pancras on the underground.

Accommodations in Canterbury
There are many places to stay in Canterbury. Below are several recommendations:

The Falstaff A 15th Century Coaching Inn, located just outside of Westgate and very close to Canterbury West station.

Cathedral Gate Hotel An eccentric hotel located inside the walls of Canterbury Cathedral.


Canterbury also has a number of B&Bs, many of which are located near London Rd.


Food and Drink

The Goods Shed is a farmer's market near the train station with a nice restaurant inside, which serves seasonal food and a variety of drinks.

There are
(of course) many pubs in Canterbury. The following are nice options that serve good food and real ale:



Also Note:
On 26-27 June Kent will also be hosting a conference on Aesthetics, Normativity, and Reasons. The conferences will run separately, but on Friday they will be in adjacent rooms and it is hoped that one of the conference meals will be a joint affair.
