Travel
Airports
London is served by five airports: Heathrow (LHR), Gatwick (LGW), Stansted (STN), City (LCY) and Luton (LTN). As each provides a destination for different routes and carriers, choosing the most convenient depends on the point of embarkation. For public transport into central London, the following options are available:
Heathrow – Heathrow Express to Paddington rail and tube station, or the Piccadilly tube line.
Gatwick – Gatwick Express to Victoria rail and tube station.
Stansted – Stansted Express to Liverpool Street rail and tube station.
City – Docklands Light Railway (DLR) links to tube and rail stations.
Luton – take shuttle bus to Luton Airport Parkway and then any rail services to St. Pancras International, Farringdon, or Blackfriars.
The conference location is well served by local public transport. To plan journeys, visit Transport for London.

There will be ‘bus stop’ signs marked Besides the Screen to direct you to the various events, but detailed directions are provided below.

Go down one flight and then exit the stairwell on the left. Proceed straight ahead down the ramp – you are now entering the King’s building (indicated by a large red circle on the floor). Just after this, turn left down a small corridor that takes you to K-1.56.
