Conference Travel

Since the conference is located centrally, in the City of Westminster, it is relatively simple to reach by public transport. The closest underground stations are Westminster (District & Circle and Jubilee lines) and St James's Park (District & Circle lines). The closest bus routes run around Parliament Square and along Whitehall. For more information on transport in London, visit the Transport for London website. The post code of the conference venue is SW1H 9JJ.

STOP PRESS:

There will be major engineering works taking place on the District & Circle lines and on the Jubilee line on the weekend of the conference. The Circle line will be suspended and the District line will be suspended between Earls Court and Whitechapel, the Jubilee line will also be suspended all weekend.

Oyster Card

Oyster is generally the cheapest way to make single journeys in the Capital, and it's not just restricted to Londoners!
An Oyster card can store up to £90 of credit, which can be used to pay as you go, plus your Travelcard or Bus Pass.
It can be used on bus, Tube, trams, DLR, London Overground and some National Rail services in London.
Pay as you go has several advantages over paper tickets:

• Oyster single fares are generally cheaper
• Credit can be used as you need it and doesn't expire
• Daily price capping automatically calculates the cheapest fare for all the journeys you make in a single day

The aim is to ensure that Oyster always charges the lowest fare. Where it doesn't, TfL will refund the difference.
How do I get an Oyster card?
You can get one:

• At Oyster Online
• At most Tube station ticket offices
• At Oyster Ticket Stops across London
• At London Overground station ticket offices
• At some National Rail ticket offices
• At London Travel Information Centres
• By phone on 0845 330 9876*

When you first get your Oyster card, you will need to pay a refundable £3 deposit if you are only adding cash to pay as you go.
