• 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.
• Walk past the Engineering Building (that we were in for the first session) and turn right onto Bancroft Road.
