WestOne Cars (08448 888 888) provide a safe, reliable service.

We recommend TFL’s website for travel planning in London.

Cycling in London is very popular as a free alternative to public

transport. It is vital that if you cycle you are safe and confident on the

roads, and a good lock is advisable. Safety advice is available

at www.TFL.gov.uk.

Barclays (known as ‘Boris’) bikes are available for anybody to use but

require a debit or credit card to release a bike. You can also buy an

annual pass at www.TFL.gov.uk.
