By Car
- We do not recommend driving in central London!
- If this is unavoidable, the closest public car parks are: Broadgate or NCP Whitechapel High Street (just outside CC Zone)
- The venue is inside congestion charge zone. (Entering the zone 07:00-18:00 Mon-Fri is £15 daily charge)
- If your vehicle does not meet the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) standards, you must also pay the ULEZ charge.
- Alternatively, it may be more convenient to stay and park at a hotel further out, but is close to public transport.
- (e,g, Docklands, Clapham, Vauxhall/Battersea etc.)
