All the London airports work well for getting to Cambridge, though the closest one is Stansted Airport http://www.stanstedairport.com/ (40 minutes) which is served by several low cost airlines. From Stansted airport one can take a train, bus or taxi to Cambridge (see the airportwebsite). Other London airports include Heathrow http://www.heathrowairport.com/ (2 or 3 hours), Gatwick http://www.gatwickairport.com/ (3 hours), Luton (1.5 hours) and City (1.5 hours).

From Heathrow you can take a direct bus to Cambridge (but it is slow) or take a train into London Paddington, an underground (subway) train to King's Cross Railway Station and then a train from there to Cambridge. From Gatwick you can take an express train to London Victoria station, then an underground train to London King's Cross Railway station and then a train to Cambridge.
