Get around the city with these convenient transport options.
rail
Fastest rail option from Heathrow; trains run roughly every 10 minutes and the walk from Liverpool Street follows Fenchurch Street down to Lower Thames Street.
metro
Cheaper but slower, roughly 60-70 minutes in total. Contactless bank cards and mobile wallets work on all Transport for London services.
rail
About 30-35 minutes to Victoria, then Circle or District line to Tower Hill or Monument.
rail
Best value and most direct route for the venue: about 30-40 minutes to London Bridge, then a 12-15 minute riverside walk.
rail
About 45-50 minutes, then a 10 minute walk to Old Billingsgate. Advance tickets are usually cheaper than turn-up fares.
rail
Thameslink serves London Bridge directly; allow 60-75 minutes door to door including the terminal shuttle.
rail
Closest airport to the venue: about 20 minutes on the Docklands Light Railway plus an 8 minute walk to Old Billingsgate.
rail
About 55-65 minutes, then a 10 minute walk. Trains are less frequent than on the Heathrow and Gatwick routes, so check timings.
Weather
Mid-to-late October in London is cool, breezy and changeable. Typical daytime highs sit around 14-16C (57-61F) with night-time lows near 8-10C (46-50F), and October is one of the wetter months, with roughly 55-60 mm of rain spread across 10-12 wet days. Old Billingsgate sits directly on the Thames, so the riverside walk from Tower Hill, Monument or London Bridge can feel noticeably colder and windier than the sheltered City streets. Pack a waterproof outer layer, an umbrella and shoes that cope with wet pavements; layer up for cool mornings and warm exhibition halls.
Plan for the climate
Check temperatures and pack accordingly
Venue connectivity
UK mobile coverage in the City of London is strong on EE, Vodafone, Three and O2. Visitors from abroad can buy a prepaid SIM at Heathrow or Liverpool Street, or install a travel eSIM before departure; EU roaming is not automatic for every carrier, so check your plan. UK mains power is 230V at 50Hz with type G three-pin plugs, so travellers from Europe, North America and most of Asia need an adaptor. Venue Wi-Fi at Old Billingsgate is typically provided for exhibitors and press rather than all visitors - confirm access with the organiser, and plan to tether from a phone for live demos and postback testing on the show floor.
Ride-hailing

Public transit
Car rentals
Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Currency and payments
The UK uses pound sterling (GBP). Contactless card and mobile payments are accepted almost everywhere in London, including Tube and bus gates, and cash is rarely needed.
Business dress
Smart casual is the norm at London performance marketing events - chinos or jeans with a shirt or knitwear for most attendees, with a jacket for client meetings. Comfortable shoes matter given the walking between stations and the venue.
Tipping and service
Service charges of around 12.5 percent are often added to restaurant bills in London; check the bill before adding a tip. Taxi and black cab drivers do not expect a tip but rounding up is common.
Queues and punctuality
London runs on queuing and punctuality. Arrive a few minutes early for meetings and sessions, stand on the right on Underground escalators, and let passengers off trains before boarding.
Networking etiquette
Introductions are informal and first names are standard. Exchange details quickly and follow up by email within a couple of days; reciprocal drinks and coffees are common but not obligatory.
Language and time zone
The event runs in English and London is on Greenwich Mean Time in late October, after British Summer Time ends. Double-check calendar invitations from other regions when scheduling calls around the show.
Practical guides
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
Destination: LHR
Heathrow (LHR) gives the best onward connection to Old Billingsgate via the Elizabeth line to Liverpool Street, so prefer it unless another airport is substantially cheaper. London City (LCY) is the closest option if your route serves it and is ideal for a short trip, while Gatwick (LGW) works well if you take Thameslink straight to London Bridge. Mid-October is a busy corporate travel period in London with school half-term demand late in the month, so book several weeks ahead and favour flexible or refundable fares. Add time for border queues at Heathrow and allow at least 90 minutes between landing and your first meeting. Final schedules and any airline changes should be checked directly with the carrier before travel.

Ride-hail: Uber, Bolt and FREENOW are the main licensed ride-hailing apps in London, alongside black cabs that can be hailed on the street or booked through Gett. Old Billingsgate sits inside the central London Congestion Charge zone, and drivers usually pick up and drop off on Lower Thames Street rather than at the venue doors - confirm the exact arrangements with the organiser when carrying exhibition materials. A short hop between City hotels and the venue typically costs around GBP 8-15 outside surge periods, while airport runs are far more expensive than rail. At session close, expect surge pricing and a 5-10 minute wait for cars around Monument and London Bridge.
Public transit: The venue is well served by Transport for London. Monument station (Circle and District lines) is the closest, roughly 5-7 minutes on foot, and Tower Hill (Circle and District) is about 8-10 minutes along Lower Thames Street. London Bridge (Jubilee and Northern lines) is a 12-15 minute riverside walk, and Tower Gateway DLR plus Fenchurch Street mainline station are also within walking distance. From Heathrow, take the Elizabeth line to Liverpool Street and walk 10 minutes, or the Piccadilly line into Zone 1 and change to Circle or District for Tower Hill. From Gatwick, Thameslink to London Bridge is the most direct option. Pay with a contactless bank card or mobile wallet on all Tube, DLR, Elizabeth line and bus services; daily and weekly caps apply automatically. Check the TfL Journey Planner at tfl.gov.uk for live disruptions before travelling, since weekend engineering works on the District and Circle lines are common in October.
Parking: Old Billingsgate has no large dedicated visitor car park, and the surrounding City of London streets are narrow with controlled parking and loading restrictions. Drivers typically use commercial car parks such as Q-Park Tower Hill, the Minories car park near Tower Gateway, or London Bridge area car parks and walk 8-15 minutes to the venue. Expect roughly GBP 20-40 per day for parking, with the central London Congestion Charge of about GBP 15-18 per charging day on top; the zone operates on weekday daytime hours and weekend afternoons. The Ultra Low Emission Zone covers the whole of central London, so check your vehicle against the current ULEZ standard before driving in. For most attendees the Tube or a short walk from a City hotel is cheaper and faster than parking.
Plan and pack for the event climate.
Month: October 2026
Temperature: Expect typical mid-to-late October days of about 14-16C (57-61F) with night-time lows near 8-10C (46-50F) for the 19-21 October 2026 dates. The riverside position at Old Billingsgate means it often feels a few degrees colder than sheltered City streets, so bring a mid-layer and a warm top for evenings.
Seasonality: October is one of London's wetter months, with roughly 55-60 mm of rain across 10-12 wet days, usually as short passing showers rather than all-day downpours. Daylight fades by late afternoon, so plan any riverside walks or photos between sessions rather than after the programme ends. An umbrella and water-resistant shoes are more useful than a heavy coat.
Packing: Pack layers that work in a heated exhibition hall and on a windy riverside walk: shirts or knitwear, a light jacket, a packable waterproof shell and an umbrella. Bring comfortable walking shoes for the 10-15 minute walks from Monument, Tower Hill and London Bridge stations, plus a small bag for laptops and materials. Add a type G plug adaptor for UK sockets and a portable charger, since long days on the floor drain phones used for badge scanning and meeting apps.
