Tickets
As our public events are free, not everyone who registers for tickets attends. To make sure we have a full house, we allocate more tickets than there are seats available and we do our best to get the numbers right. Admission is on a first come, first served basis, so please arrive in good time for the start of the event.

Accessibility
Wheelchairs
The IAS office (G18) and our two rooms, IAS Forum (G17) and IAS Common Ground (G11) are all located at ground level and are fully accessible from the street.
All of our spaces are wheelchair accessible but we do not have additional wheelchairs on site. All of our venues have seating for wheelchair users and people with different access needs. Please let us know your access requirements before you visit, so that we can recommend the most suitable space for you.
Dropping off visitors
For arrivals by car, taxi, minibus or Dial-a-Ride, the most convenient set-down point is the Gower Street entrance at UCL. This gives step-free access.
Public transport
Euston Square station (westbound) and Euston station are the nearest step-free tube and rail stations. In Euston you might require assistance for a manual boarding ramp at some trains. The nearest bus stops are at Euston Station, Warren Street Station and Euston Square Station: the route is wheelchair accessible but please note some stops involve crossing a main road.
