From Stansted
Airport
By Coach/Underground:
We recommend the coach/bus services from Stansted Airport.
Current flights
from Europe can arrive late at night from Stansted. There
are coach services which run 24-hours to and from Stansted Airport Coach Station
(located in front of the terminal forecourt) to London Victoria Coach Station. Tickets
may be purchased on the coach. Visit www.terravision.it
(you can book tickets online!) or visit
www.nationalexpress.com.
Victoria Station to Hammersmith Station can be reached on
the District Line (green line). If it is too late for the
Underground when you reach Victoria, take the 'nightbus' N11 to
Hammersmith tube station - which is also the bus station. We
are then 5-10 minutes walk down Shepherd's Bush Road.
By Train/Underground:
The Stansted
Express train service departs every 15 minutes to and from Liverpool Street station. This is a 45 minute
journey and is more expensive than the coach/bus services. See
www.stanstedexpress.co.uk
for first and last trains. The Underground from Liverpool Street is direct
to Hammersmith via the Hammersmith & City line (pink line)
and should take
another 35-45 minutes.
Taking this line means you will
come out of the smallest of the 2 Hammersmith Underground
buildings. You will have to walk to the left and we are then a
5-10 minutes walk down Shepherd's Bush Road.
