How to Find ICMP

Cycling in London presents a compelling choice that combines cost-effectiveness and environmental friendliness, allowing individuals to discover the city with great convenience. However, it's essential to note that London roads can pose hazards, so we strongly recommend utilising designated cycle lanes whenever possible. For those who does not own a bike, we recommend utilising bike rental services like Santander Cycle Hire, HumanForest or even Lime. You can download the app and find any of their bikes around London so you can easily access a bike whenever needed. 

Not to mention at ICMP, we have extra spaces for bike storages for you to park your bike. It is located right outside of the campus.

The London Underground rail network, commonly known as "the Tube," offers a convenient and efficient means of transportation to navigate central London. For those heading to ICMP, the campus is conveniently situated within walking distance from both Kilburn station (Jubilee Line) and Brondesbury station (London Overground). If you are using the tube on a regular basis it may be worthwhile buying a Travel card, these can be bought for a day, a week, a month or longer. If you are only using the tube occasionally you may wish to add travel value (cash) to an ‘Oyster card.’ Oyster fares are much cheaper than paying for individual tickets.

Walking is an exceptional mode of transportation in London, offering a multitude of advantages, including promoting a healthy lifestyle, being cost-free, and environmentally friendly. Although London is a sizable city, central London itself is relatively compact. Transport for London provides valuable advice on navigating the city on foot, including recommended walking routes and helpful tips for wayfinding. However, it's crucial to remember that cars drive on the left-hand side in the UK, and as with any major city, taking necessary precautions for pedestrian safety is essential.

In recent years, the rise in popularity of e-scooters has been evident in numerous cities globally. London has also slowly been adapting to this change. Transport for London initiated a trial program enabling individuals to rent e-scooters from approved rental companies like Lime or Tier. Find out more on how to hire bikes around London here.

Using public transport for part of your journey is a cost-effective way to travel that helps ease congestion, reduces emissions, and can be easier than finding a parking space at peak times near the campus.

The Congestion Charge is a £15 daily charge if you drive within the Congestion Charge zone 07:00-22:00, every day, except Christmas Day (25 December).

The central London Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) applies in the same area as the Congestion Charge zone. This operates 24 hours a day, every day of the year, except for Christmas Day. Most vehicles need to meet certain emissions standards or drivers will be required to pay a daily charge.

The Low Emission Zone (LEZ) covers most of Greater London: the most polluting diesel vehicles must meet certain emissions standards or pay to drive there, including coaches, minibuses, and lorries. Cars and motorcycles are not affected by the LEZ.
