We’re in the same room (the Electronics Laboratory) as we were last week.

Good news – the glass-fronted entrance to the Engineering building has been mended so we’ll use that. If you weren’t here last week please read on for location information. (We’re also in the same building and foyer we were in for Week One, but the room is upstairs).

Note that after this session we have a 3 week gap for Easter: next event 22 April.

2. When – date and timings
25 March 2023 – Week Five

• Registration: ~9.45am
• Workshop begins: 10am
• (Break in the middle for snacks – please bring your snack)
• Workshop ends: 12.30pm

3. Where

The venue is the Engineering Building, Mile End Road (directions below), post code: E1 4NS. If you were here in Weeks One or Four you will have been here before. It’s right next to a floating bus stop for the 25 and 205 buses…

Note that there’s more than one entrance to the Engineering building. We are using the glass-fronted entrance (see photo below) with five metal bollards in front of it and next to a bus stop. The glass door was broken in Week Four but is now mended, hooray!

We’ll be upstairs in the Electronic Laboratory (same as for last week). The stairs to get to the lab are at the back of the foyer (not the ones nearest the glass entrance).

4. Please bring

Please bring a snack and a drink. There are supermarkets and other shops between Stepney Green or Mile End stations and the venue (please make sure you have your snack and drink before you arrive).

5: Directions
5.1: From Stepney Green station

Here’s a map with a route marked out.

• The nearest tube station is Stepney Green tube station. Exit the station and turn left (you are now on Mile End Road (A11) and in front of you Globe Road (B120) is on your left (you’ll cross Globe Road).
• If you want to pick up a snack first there’s a small Sainsbury’s on Globe Road, or once you’ve crossed the road there’s a Co-op further up Mile End Road.
• Keep walking up Mile End Road, past Bancroft Road
• You will come to a building set back from the road, with a glass front and five metal bollards in front of it, it’s also next to a Bus Stop (D) where the 25 and 205 buses stop – that’s the Engineering Building (Google Streetview shows what it looks like).

• From 9.30am you’ll be able to enter the building and wait in the foyer; the workshop will also take place on the third floor in the Electronics Laboratory.
  

5.2: From Mile End station

Here’s a map with the route marked out.

• Mile End station is a little further away (but not much).
• If you want to take the bus (25 or 205) Stop C is to your right as you exit the station
• If you want to just walk then turn left as you exit the station (you are on Mile End Road) and keep walking in that direction – there are plenty of shops on the way including a Sainsbury’s that’s close to the venue.
• You can cross to the other side of Mile End Road at the Sainsbury’s and keep walking in the same direction.
• You will come to a building set back from the road, with a glass front and five metal bollards in front of it, it’s also next to a Bus Stop (D) where the 25 and 205 buses stop – that’s the Engineering Building (Google Streetview shows what it looks like).
