The nearest tube station to our main venue is King's Cross St. Pancras, this is in Zone 1. The best option for getting around London is to buy an Oyster Card, which can be purchased from most Underground and some Overground stations. This will allow you to travel on the underground, buses, some mainline rail services and night buses.
The vast majority of Most people in London use our public transport. Taxis in London are a little expensive. Minicabs will be cheaper than Black Cabs. DO NOT USE AN UNLICENSED TAXI! Black cabs are very recognisable and minicabs can be booked from their office or by phone, never from random people wandering the streets!
The Underground will stop running at around midnight. There are also bikes for hire all around central London, just walk up and put your credit card in.
