Students are advised to take advantage of London’s efficient public transport network when exploring the city. Transport in London includes the underground (‘tube’), buses, trains and trams. The amount you pay is determined by how far you travel, with London being split into nine zones. The university is based in Zone 1.
1. Train
The nearest train station, Liverpool Street Station, is a 3-minute walk from Northumbria University London, which is a major hub of rail, bus and underground lines. Students can even save money on fares in several ways. Throughout the day, students can take trains from London (Euston), which leave every 30 minutes and have journey times of 60-80 minutes. A single-day train journey may cost you upwards of £5, but one can get themselves an oyster card, which gives you many discounts.
2. Bicycle
The city is well-serviced by cycle paths and even has cycle and pedestrian shared-use subways which students can use to circumvent the ring road junctions. Students cycling to the university will find several covered cycle parking spaces near the university.
3. Bus
A mere few minutes walk away from Northumbria University London is the Liverpool Street (Stop L) bus stop, a short 4-minute walk from the campus. Students can obtain student travel cards from the main bus operators - National Express and Stagecoach Unirider. Students can expect to pay around £2.20 for a one-way ticket on a Network West Midlands bus, making things to do in London extremely accessible. If they plan on travelling often, students can also go for the day saver pass, which gives you access to any bus journey for that particular day and costs about £4.
