Travel by Bus
Many people are unaware of the wide range of bus services available for the commute to work. There are more than 17 local routes which serve the area around King Edward Street and for many the bus may be a more convenient and cheaper option than the tube or train. The majority of buses serving around the King Edward Street site operate along Ludgate Hill and Newgate and provide links to a wide range of destinations.
Don’t forget that buses no longer take cash payments, but you can now pay for single trips on the bus using any contactless payment debit or credit card, making it even more convenient for those who only use the bus occasionally.
