TRAVEL

PARKING


It is always more convenient for those who can come
by public transport to come by public transport. The
Diorama 4 is across the street from Warren Street Tube
Station and the Crypt is a five minute walk away from
the Diorama 4.  Both spaces are wheel-chair accessible,
and children are welcome.

For those who can't come by public transport,
please budget for parking fees and the Congestion
Charge (although the Euston Road isn't part of the
Congestion Charge area, anyone who has to travel
north to get to it, before 6:30 pm,  will pass through
the CC zone).

Because of the high parking fees, time banks might find
it more useful, if they are bringing poets by cars, to have
someone drop the poets off, rather than park in West Euston
all day.  

If you are bringing disabled poets, please contact Natalie
or Tony for further information about where to park.
