Stratford pick-up point
The pick-up point is on Great Eastern Road, just north of the bollards at the northern end of the Stratford station plaza/square. The bollards are at the bottom of the escalator which goes up to the bridge to Westfield. They are also next to the pedestrian crossing, on the opposite side of the street from the Stratford Centre and Subway. Google Maps what3words. When you arrive, please look for our staff member who will be carrying a blue sign. The bus may not have arrived yet.
Docklands pickup point
Our staff member will be on the bus, not at the Docklands bus stop, so don't worry if you don't see them at the bus stop when you arrive. The bus is sometimes delayed by traffic when travelling from Stratford, so it may not arrive exactly on time.
The pickup point is at the bus stop on campus. This is located halfway along the road between East Building and SportsDock, next to Jamilah House and Kwame House. Google Maps what3words
