Shuttle buses frequently run around the university campuses and student accommodations. For the bus routes, journey planners, student tickets and ID cards, you can visit the Arriva Bus website. All single bus journeys are £2 max.
2. Trains:
The Tube, London Overground, and Docklands Light Railway are all the train services run by Transport for London.
