Travelling to London
- London is well-served by transport links, both for travelling to and from London from the UK, Europe and the wider world, as well as for getting around the city.
- UCL has locations across the city with the main campus locations in central and east London areas.
- There are easy connections to UCL from London’s global hub airports at Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted and you will find that London’s extensive public transport system is convenient and easy to use.
Travelling to UCL
- Whilst it is possible to travel to UCL by car, parking is typically difficult and expensive and so we would generally recommend using public transport to get to us.
- Please see our website for the wide range of public transport options for getting to UCL.
Check before you leave
