Getting Here
The nearest tube stations are Mile End (which is on the Central, District, and Hammersmith and City lines) and Stepney Green (which is on the District and Hammersmith and City lines).
If you arrive at Mile End station, turn left when you exit the station and walk under the yellow bridge and down the Mile End Road. After walking approximately 350 metres, you will see the Mile End campus on the opposite side of the road - recognisable by the clock tower. The Mathematical Sciences building is a further 150 metres along the Mile End Road.
If you arrive at Stepney Green station, turn left out of the station and walk for about 200 metres. The Mathematical Sciences building will be the white 6 storey building on your left - recognisable because of the Penrose tiling pattern on the building’s exterior.
