Rail & Tube Strike Planned For Wednesday 4th October – PLEASE READ

A rail strike has been tabled for Wednesday, 4th October that will affect a number of services in the UK, find out more here.

23/9 UPDATE: Unfortunately London Underground workers have now also decided to strike on 4th October. We know many of you are staying locally for the Summit, and may have already made arrangements that means this won’t impact you, but for those that planned to travel within London ion 4th, please read on

The Summit will go ahead as planned. Our first day – Tuesday 3rd October – will be unaffected. However if you planned to use national trains to arrive or depart from the Summit on Wednesday 4th, please be aware.

To reduce the impact experienced, please consider:

• For those travelling to airports
  • The largest central London coach station is London Victoria (see below) and you can travel by bus from the Oval. The number 36 bus goes every 10 minutes or so, and takes about 10 minutes. Please allow plenty of time, as the roads will be busier due to tube strikes
