Cycle and Walk to UCL
In 2020, UCL installed 1000 additional cycle racks across the campus for September and initiated a Buddy Scheme to support staff and students, see our walking and cycling pages below for resources. With many people taking up cycling during the lockdown period, there is no better time to try it for commuting to campus.
If cycling or walking your whole journey is not possible, consider completing the first, last or both sections of your journey by bike or foot. Especially in Central London there are many cycle hire schemes that allow travelers to complete their journey by bike.
