The excellent outcome Transport for London (TfL) secured from the 2010 Spending Review, which enabled Crossrail and the Tube upgrade to proceed and protected London’s extensive bus network, reflects both London’s position as the engine of the UK economy and TfL’s reputation for effective delivery. In March 2011, following the Spending Review, TfL published a Business Plan to 2014/15 setting out its plans to modernise London’s transport system, supporting the Mayor’s vision for London as a world-class city. This Business Plan update, for consideration as part of the Mayor’s Budget for 2012/13 - 2014/15, reflects TfL’s latest financial forecasts, and highlights progress made towards achieving the milestones set out in the published Business Plan together with any new developments. TfL remains on target to deliver against all its key milestones. By reaffirming TfL’s ongoing commitment to operational delivery and investment in London’s infrastructure, this update provides vital stability and continuity for customers, business groups and other stakeholders.

  • Advances in Earthquake Source Physics Workshop 1St - 2Nd September 2014 Gustave Tuck Lecture Theatre University College London
    Advances in Earthquake Source Physics Workshop 1st - 2nd September 2014 Gustave Tuck lecture theatre University College London In the following, the directions from every London airport, and from King's Cross/St. Pancras station, are detailed. Useful web links are also provided. UCL Department of Geography provides a very helpful interactive map of UCL and its surroundings, displayed at the end of this document. In the following text, references to this map will be used (e.g. UCL main gates: C3). Travelling in London can turn out to be quite expensive, especially if you intend to stay a little more than two days in London. Buying an Oyster card might be a good way to save some money. It only costs £5, and whatever the amount you want to top up at the beginning, and is quickly recovered. Then, you will just have to charge it whenever you need to. You can purchase an Osyter card at any airports and stations, or on the Transport For London website. From Heathrow Airport to UCL From Heathrow Airport, take the Heathrow Express from Heathrow Central station (Terminals 1-2-3) to London Paddington station. Use the airport train to connect from Terminals 4 or 5. Once in London Paddington station, use either the Circle or Hammersmith City underground lines to reach Euston Square station (C1). Head to the South exit, and take Gower St. towards South, walk past UCLU Lewis's café (C2), and the main gates to UCL (C3) will be on your left, facing the Cruciform building (B3). A cheaper way to connect to UCL from Heathrow Airport is to take the Piccadilly underground line from Heathrow Central station, up to Green Park station, and then commute to the Victoria line up to Warren Street station ( A1).
