Useful information for Visitors The ACU offices are housed at the following address: Woburn House, 21-24 Tavistock Square, London WC1H 9HF. UK. Tel: +44 (0)20 7380 6700 Fax: +44 (0)20 7387 2655 [email protected] www.acu.ac.uk Our meeting is being held in the hall on the ground floor of Woburn House, behind the reception desk. Map: ACU is marked by ‘A’. Transport: Taxis in London tend to very expensive (average price for Heathrow – Central London £50.00 / €56.00). A cheaper and more efficient option is to use public transport (the Underground or the buses). All information about London transport can be found on the Transport for London (TfL) website (http://www.tfl.gov.uk/). You may wish to purchase an “Oyster Card” from the TfL website in advance; this is a pre-paid card that can use on the Underground, buses, and certain trains (not the Heathrow / Gatwick / Stansted Express, which will cost extra) and will allow you to take advantage of cheaper fares. This link will allow you to buy an Oyster card from outside the UK (http://visitorshop.tfl.gov.uk/) Within Central London, walking is often the fastest option for getting from A to B. Listed below are the ways to get to our offices from London’s four main airports (Heathrow, Gatwick, London City, Stansted) and train stations From Heathrow: • Take the Piccadilly Line (Eastbound) from the appropriate Heathrow station to Russell Square station. It is then a 5-7 minute walk from the station to the ACU. (see map) Or • Take the Heathrow Express to Paddington Station. At Paddington change onto either the Hammersmith & City Line (Eastbound) or Circle Line (Eastbound) to Euston Square. At Paddington Station please make sure that you take the Underground from the correct platforms (platforms 15 &16). It is then a 5 minute walk from Euston Square station to the ACU. (see map) From Gatwick: • Take the Gatwick Express train service from the airport to Victoria Train Station. You will then need to take the Victoria Line (Northbound) to Euston train station. It is then a 5 minute walk from the station to the ACU. (see map) From London City: • Take the Dockland Light Railway (DLR) from the airport to Bank Station. At Bank change onto the Northern Line (Northbound) and get off at Euston train station. It is then a 5 minute walk from the station to the ACU. (see map) From Stansted: • Take the Stansted Express from the airport to Tottenham Hale station. At Tottenham Hale change onto the Victoria Line (Southbound) and get off at Euston train station. It is then a 5 minute walk from the station to the ACU. (see map) From King’s Cross / St. Pancras (For those travelling by Eurostar): • Come out of the train station and turn right. Walk down Euston Road, past the British Library until you reach the junction of Euston Road and Upper Woburn Place. Turn left onto Upper Woburn Place walking past St. Pancras Church. Continue down Upper Woburn Place until you reach Tavistock Square. Take a right and our offices are the first building you will come to. (see map) I strongly recommend checking the TfL (http://www.tfl.gov.uk/) website in the week before your visit to look out any planned engineering works on the Underground lines in question, as the entire network is currently going through a major restructuring programme.
