Tips for travel from UK
Oxford
Get the Oxford Tube from the High St to Victoria Station. It's slightly cheaper than the train, and includes free Wifi and power sockets at your seat.
Walk to Victoria station for the District line, and change at Whitechapel for Hoxton. Alternatively, get the Victoria line to Highbury & Islington, and approach from the north. Both of these will take you on the new East London line to directly outside the space.
