Gateshead is one of the best-connected areas of the North East.
Not only does it have the regional Metro travel system but it is also a stones throw from Newcastle Central Station and is directly accessible from London King's Cross, Glasgow and Edinburgh. The journey from London King's Cross can take as little as three hours.
Newcastle International Airport is just a short taxi ride away. It serves arrivals from 16 domestic and 62 European destinations, as well as operating services to North America, South America, Africa and Asia. There are 16 daily flights to London Heathrow as well as flights to Stansted and Gatwick.
In addition there is the main A1 road network connecting to London and Scotland, along with ferry connections to all over Europe. The road network provides rapid, congestion-free access to all locations in the region as well as major economic centres across the UK.
Local ports contribute to the logistics of transport on a commercial basis. The ports facing Scandinavia and continental Europe offer deep-water berths and excellent cargo-handling for importers and exporters.
