Docklands Light Railway (DLR)

The Cutty Sark DLR Station is just a two minute walk from the campus West Gate Entrance. Direct services run from Bank, Canary Wharf, Lewisham and Stratford and easy connections are available from Tower Gateway, Beckton and London City Airport.

London Underground (Tube)

The London Underground tube network is not close enough to walk from and will require transfer onto other public transport. The best option is to get off at Canary Wharf (Jubilee Line) and get a DLR Lewisham bound train to Cutty Sark. Alternatively you could get off at North Greenwich (Jubilee Line) and take a 188 bus to the campus.

River services

Thames Clippers provide a regular boat service to Greenwich Pier from central London picking up at Savoy Pier, Blackfriars, Bankside, London Bridge, City, St Katherine's, Canary Wharf, Greenland and Masthouse Terrace. The journey takes 35 minutes in total and is probably the fastest way to travel from central London.

Cycle parking is available at either end of the campus and secure bike parking is provided at various locations on-campus. A shower is situated in Queen Anne Court and additional facilities are being planned.

Walking to campus

The campus is connected to many pedestrian footpaths including the Thames River Path. The Greenwich foot tunnel provides access on-foot between Greenwich and the Isle of Dogs north of the river. There are also some very pleasant walks through Greenwich Park from south of the campus.

Road directions

From the M25 take the A2 Junction 2 towards London. The distance is then approximately 15 miles. Continue onto the A102 (if travelling from East London on the A12 join the A102 via the Southbound Blackwall Tunnel). Exit the A102 via the slip road for the A206 and follow the signposts for Greenwich. Continue into Greenwich along this road for approximately one mile and shortly after the BP garage turn right at the traffic lights into Park Row. The campus is on the left but see the notes on car parking below.

Parking

There is no visitor or student parking on campus but there is a public car park opposite in Park Row as well as other car parks elsewhere in the town centre. Greenwich Council provide more information on parking.

Car share

The university has a car share scheme free to all staff and students called 5HARE. Please follow the link for more information about 5HARE.
