Here to help

The nearest mainline station is Liverpool Street. Kings Cross and Euston are 2 and 3 stops away on Northern line. There are also overland trains to Old Street and Moorgate, both within walking distance.

There are no places for bicycle parking immediately outside the building. There are racks further up Charlotte Rd, on Old Street, the top of Curtain Road and people also use Hoxton Square. It is advisable not to leave anything easily detachable or overnight. There are Barclays Cycle Hire docking stations on Shoreditch High Street at the corner of Rivington Street.

Car parking is extremely limited, but there is a car park behind the Foundry bar at the Old Street end of Rivington Street which is open from 7am – 6.30pm and an NCP car park on Great Eastern Street. After 5.30pm and on Saturdays street parking is free off Shoreditch High Street near Arnold Circus (not visible on map above). It is easy to flag a taxi at either end of Charlotte Road throughout the day and in the evening.
