Suggested arrival routes from some airports

These suggestions are simple routes, not necessarily the cheapest or fastest routes.

   (Journey time 15-20 mins, runs every 15 mins. Costs about £13 single, £25 return, plus £2 if you buy on the train.)
2. On the London Underground , take the Bakerloo Line Southbound to Oxford Circus.
3. Change to the Central Line. Travel Eastbound to Mile End. Walk to the Campus.
   Allow about 1 hour total travel time.

Alternative route (cheaper): From Heathrow, take the London Undergound: Piccadilly Line Eastbound to Holborn (pronounced "hoe-burn"). Change to the Central Line, and travel Eastbound to Mile End, as above. Allow up to 1 1/2 hour total travel time.

London Gatwick
