Local transport in London - Trasporti locali a Londra

The main course venue will be the Barkston Gardens Hotel. However, there will be frequent moves around London to reach places – in particular cinemas – where important lectures and meetings with experts are to be hosted. Most of the travelling will be by underground and participants are therefore advised, on arrival, to purchase a travel card covering zones 1 and 2. The card is known as the Oyster Card: we suggest you the “Pay As You Go” system and to charge a small amount of money.
A one way Underground travel from Heathrow Airport to central London costs £3.80. A ride within central London (zones 1 -2) costs £1.60
 
Transport to Hull will, instead, be by train and organized by MEDIA Salles.

La sede principale del corso sarà l’Hotel Barkston Gardens. Saranno tuttavia frequenti gli spostamenti in Londra per raggiungere i luoghi – in particolare cinema – che ospiteranno una parte importante delle lezioni e degli incontri con gli esperti. Gli spostamenti avverranno principalmente in metropolitana: invitiamo pertanto i partecipanti ad acquistare in loco un abbonamento per le zone 1 e 2. L’abbonamento consiste in una tessera, la Oyster Card: vi suggeriamo di scegliere la modalità ricaricabile (“Pay As You Go”) e caricare la carta in modo da avere un discreto credito.
Un biglietto di metropolitana di sola andata dall’aeroporto di Heathrow al centro di Londra costa £3.80. Una corsa entro il centro di Londra (zone 1 e 2) costa £1.60
 
Per la visita ad Hull invece lo spostamento avverrà in treno e sarà organizzato da MEDIA Salles.
