- Additional baggage allowance
- All bookings will have 24/7 expert telephone support.
- How to book
To access the Clarity Booking Tool, you will need a UCL User ID and password to login using single sign on.

- I have already made travel arrangements to come to London. Does this mean I need to cancel them and re-book via Clarity?
No. This service is optional. We look forward to welcoming you in London! Our collaboration with Clarity is ongoing, so even if you do not need to use their services now, you may wish to during your time at UCL, for example, to travel home for the vacation periods.
- How do I get to campus from the airport?
Once you arrive at the airport, port or train station, you will need to make your way directly to your accommodation. Taxis, although more expensive, are probably the best option. We would encourage you to pre-book one and pay ahead of time to avoid any complications when you arrive.
You may find the Getting to UCL information on our website useful to plan your journey from the airport.
