To assist you in planning your trip and getting around, we are pleased to provide the following information: General Information: Travelling in London In London, all bus stops have names and in some cases additional letters.i would recommend that you get an Oyster card at the tube station or the train station. The Oyster card makes journeys quicker and also, cash is no longer accepted on buses. The link to find out more details about public transport in London is Directions from airports Heathrow: The easiest way is to get the underground, Piccadilly line, to Hammersmith and then to get the 72 bus from bus stop K to the Whitelands campus. The bus station is above the tube station at Hammersmith. Leave the bus at Roehampton Lane / Danebury Avenue (Stop M). For further information see: Gatwick: Get the Gatwick express to Clapham Junction.

Then take the underground, Central line to Bank and then change to Waterloo and City line to Waterloo Station. Once at this station get a South West Train to Barnes. However, Waterloo and City line does not run on Sundays. Thus, on Sunday, take the Central Line from Liverpool Street to Tottenham Court Road, and change to Northern line towards south.
