The tube runs from around 6AM-0:15AM every day.
We have a bus stop near the entrance on Blackfriars Road. After midnight you will need to use night bus routes.
WestOne Cars (08448 888 888) provide a safe, reliable taxi service.
We recommend TFL’s website for travel planning in London.
Cycling in London is very popular as a free alternative to public
transport. It is vital that if you cycle you are safe and confident on the
roads, and a good lock is advisable. Safety advice is available
at www.TFL.gov.uk.
Barclays (known as ‘Boris’) bikes are available for anybody to use but
require a debit or credit card to release a bike. You can also buy an
annual pass at www.TFL.gov.uk.
