Enquire to book a space

Money

The currency in the UK is GBP and Euros are rarely accepted anywhere. Since the pandemic, it is very rare that any service would ask for cash only; card and contactless, google pay, apple pay etc. are usable everywhere from market stalls, to buses, to tube stations.

Plug Sockets

Remember to pack adapters, you will need a British three-prong adapter (if you have US/European three-prong bear in mind it is a different shape) if you have devices that use other plugs. British sockets also have a switch on them, make sure you switch it on to allow electricity flow and switch it off again before you unplug your device.

Driving

The university has a dedicated page on how to arrive to campus by car. This also has information about parking and charges.
