If you need help orientating yourself, you should contact the Transport for London's Transport Assistance Scheme.

London Transport Freedom Pass

Some disabled people living in the London area may be eligible for a London Transport Freedom Pass, which allows free travel on public transport; the borough where you live will be able to tell you if you are eligible.

Alternative transport schemes for students who cannot use public transport

If you have serious mobility impairment and difficulty in using public transport, you may be able to use subsidised transport schemes providing door-to-door transport:

• Dial-a-Ride
• Taxicard
• Capital Call

Taxi from Birkbeck

You can ask an attendant at the reception desk to arrange for a taxi to travel home.

Disabled person's railcard

If you have a disability that makes travelling by train difficult you may qualify for the Disabled Person's Railcard.
