The cheapest way of getting to Cambridge from Heathrow is the bus (national express). This is quite convenient, as it leaves from the airport and arrives in the middle of Cambridge, but it's also the slowest. The fastest is to take the Heathrow Express from Heathrow to Paddington, then take the underground from Paddington to Kings Cross, then take the train from Kings Cross to Cambridge. I don't really like this because it involves two changes and both of them involve walking from one end of a station to the other. The best compromise in terms of effort, cost and speed is usually to take the tube from Heathrow to Kings Cross (which takes about an hour, so bring a book...) and then the train from Kings Cross to Cambridge. For the trains to Cambridge, make sure you look at the board at Kings Cross that tells you when the fastest train to various destinations is. Some trains are direct, some stop at a load of small stations along the way. The direct trains take about 45-50 minutes, the slow ones take about an hour and a half, so waiting 10 minutes can often get you there half an hour earlier. If you're coming from Germany, you have two other choices, depending on where you are. If you can take the Eurostar, it arrives in Kings Cross, so you just change there and go straight to Cambridge. Alternatively, you may be able to fly into London Stansted, which is not too far from Cambridge. There are busses and trains, which take a similar amount of time (again, the bus arrives closer to the city centre than the train).
