Transport

Cycling

  • There is a cycle hire station around the corner on Pritchards Road, other stations on Regents Row near Broadway Market and Goldsmiths Row
  • If coming on your own bike feel free to secure your bike to any of the fencing around the yard, being careful not to block the main gates. Be aware that our yard is not 100% secure, so take the same precautions you would if locking up on the street.

Bus

  • Local bus stops: 26, 48, 55 are right next to the entrance on Hackney Road. 55 connects with 205 or Northern Line to King's Cross. Mare St around the corner: 106, 254, others. The 394 bus to Angel and Homerton is a 2-minute walk away, at the other end of Pritchards Road. The 236 bus is at the end of Broadway Market, and leads to Shacklewell Lane/Kingsland Rd, just North of Dalston Junction.

  • It's a 10-minute walk from Bethnal Green tube station, and around the corner from the Cambridge Heath National Rail station served by trains to/from Liverpool Street. Both of these stations are in TfL Zone 2.
  • It's about a 15-minute walk or 5-minute cycle ride from Hoxton overground station. There are cycle hire stations at both ends of the way.

Motor Vehicle
