Travelling to London City Mission
The following directions are for the London City Mission headquarters in Tower Bridge Road from major London stations and airports. Our nearest major station is London Bridge. Up until the end of 2018, major work is being undertaken at London Bridge and various platforms, walkways and exits will be closed, and some trains diverted, at various times - you can read more about the project online by searching “Thameslink Project”.
Exit to street level (by the main tube entrance) and walk along Tooley Street towards Tower Bridge/HMS Belfast. When you reach Tower Bridge Road (around 10 minutes walk), turn right at the traffic lights outside the NatWest Bank (Tower Bridge is behind you) and you will see us opposite Tower Bridge Primary School behind the bus stop.
Alternatively, the 47, 343 and 381 buses stop opposite the main rail and tube entrance outside "The London Bridge Experience" (stop R) and it is just a couple of stops towards Rotherhithe, Catford, Bellingham or City Hall; alight at bus stop K "Tower Bridge Road/City Hall" and follow instructions above from the traffic lights by the NatWest Bank.
If you get as far as the railway bridge with the "Cat and Cucumber" cafe on your left and a grey/orange residential building on the right you have gone past us.
