= Visiting from outside London = | |||
=== Get an Oyster card === | |||
Not having an Oyster card is a tax on tourists. A zone 1 single costs £4 without a card, but only £1.90 with one. The amount you pay is capped at the price of an equivalent travelcard, so unless you get one with your rail ticket, it's guaranteed to save you money. | |||
A card is a £5 deposit and doesn't expire. You can also use it to open [[Door control system|our door]] if you're a member. | |||
== Tips for travel from UK == | |||
=== Oxford === | |||
Get the [http://www.oxfordtube.com Oxford Tube] from the High St to Victoria Station. It's slightly cheaper than the train (unless you're buying a couple of weeks in advance), and includes free Wifi and power sockets at your seat. | |||
Walk to Victoria station for the <span class="tube dis">District</span> line, and change at Whitechapel for Hoxton. Alternatively, get the <span class="tube vic">Victoria</span> line to Highbury & Islington, and approach from the north. Both of these will take you on the <span class="tube ovg">East London</span> line to directly outside the space. | |||
=== Cambridge === | |||
The cheapest option is to get a Super Saver Return ticket for Greater Anglia services only. This will get you to Liverpool street station, from where you can walk (~30 minutes) or get a bus to Hoxton overground station which is directly outside the space. | |||
You can also go to King's Cross and from there take the Northern Line two stops to Old Street, then walk (~15 minutes) to the space, or take the Piccadilly Line north to Highbury & Islington then take the overground to Hoxton station. | |||
Travel from Cambridge station is about 1 hour 45 minutes via any of these methods. | |||
