How to get here

The nearest tube station is Farringdon (Circle, District and Metropolitan Lines) which is a 5 minute walk from the Centre.
By bus
Buses that stop near Free Word are 63 on Farringdon Road, 19, 38 and 341 on Rosebery Avenue and 55 and 243 on Clerkenwell Road.
By bicycle
A "Boris Bikes" docking station is situated conveniently outside the Free Word Centre, and there's ample parking for your own bike too.
By car
There is an NCP car park next to the Centre at 1 Bowling Green Lane. Free Word does not have any designated parking of its own; however there is a single yellow line on the curb outside the front entrance and so it is possible to pick up and drop off passengers directly outside.
For further directions, we recommend Transport for London's Journey Planner.
