Ground Transportation
From Heathrow Airport
For those travelling to London via air to Heathrow Airport, there are a number different ways to get into Central London. Taxi is perhaps the easiest and most direct way, but also expensive (about £50-‐70 one way). The Piccadilly line of the London Underground terminates at the airport, and will take you into the heart of the city. A one-‐way fare runs from £2.90 to £5.30 depending upon time of day and form of payment, and takes about 45 minutes. The Heathrow Express (http://www.heathrowexpress.com) is a train that runs non-‐stop from the airport to Paddington Station, and costs £20-‐28 one-‐way, or £28-‐52 for a return (round-‐trip) ticket. From Paddington Station, you can connect to the Circle, District, Hammersmith & City, and Bakerloo lines of the Underground.
Within Central London While you’re in London, you have many options for getting from one point to another. Perhaps the best and fastest way, especially for longer distances, is the London Underground, also known as “The Tube”. The Tube system consists of 11 lines and 270 stations serving Central London and the surrounding areas. Fares vary, depending upon the zones of the origin and destination, time of day and form of payment. But typically, you can travel between any two points within Central London (Zone 1) for £2.00 each way using an Oyster Card.
Another option is London’s infamous red double-‐decker buses. The buses travel throughout Central London. A single bus fare is £2.30 if paying with cash, or £1.35 if using an Oyster Card.
If you plan to use the tube or the buses on a regular basis during your stay, you may wish to purchase an Oyster Card. The Oyster Card is a plastic smartcard, similar in size to a credit card, which you can use in place of a paper ticket. You can “top up” the card with any amount of money over £10.00, and then simply touch it to the yellow card reader as you enter or exit a station, or board a bus. Using an Oyster Card to pay your fare usually means lower fares than if you had purchased a single-‐use paper ticket.
In addition to the Tube and buses, the Oyster Card can also be used on the DLR (Docklands Light Rail), London Overground, trams, boats, and National Rail services.
For more information about transportation in and around London, including the Underground, buses and the Oyster Card, please visit the Transport for London website: http://www.tfl.gov.uk/.
To the Training Venue Imparando Learning Centre, the venue hosting the training, is located a short 3-‐minute walk from the Aldgate East tube station, on the District and Hammersmith & City lines. When exiting the tube at Aldgate East, look for the signs for Exit 4, toward Whitechapel High Street (south side). Upon alighting from the station, head southwest on Whitechapel High Street for a very short distance until you reach Commercial Road, just past the London Metropolitan University. Turn left onto Commercial Road, and follow it for approximately 300 feet (91.5 m). Imparando will be on your right, at 56 Commercial Road.
For more information about getting to, please visit the Imparando website.
Arriving at the Training Venue Reception for the Imparando Learning Centre is to your left immediately upon entering the building. Let the receptionist know that you are attending Mirth Training, and they will ask you to sign in. You will also be given a four-‐digit code that you will use for the rest of the week to access the classroom area.
After signing in, the receptionist will direct you to the waiting area on one of the upper floors, where there will be refreshments available. On the first day, your instructor will meet you at the waiting area when class is ready to begin, and show you to the classroom.
Imparando opens at approximately 08:30 each morning. We suggest that on the first day, you arrive by 08:45 in case you have any problems finding or getting to the venue. On subsequent days, you can arrive any time between 08:30 and 09:00, and go straight to the classroom if you wish.
Hotels Central London is home to literally hundreds of hotels. You can find hotels that are part of every major international hotel chain, as well as many independent hotels.
Because London’s transportation system allows you to get around central London so quickly and efficiently, we recommend that you stay in whichever part of the city where you’d most like to be when not in class, and then take the Tube or a bus to the training venue each day.
Sorry, we do not have any negotiated rate discounts available with any of the local hotels.
