Buses

Buses that stop on or near the Aldwych are:

Numbers: 1, 4, 6, 9, 11, 13, 15, 23, 26, 59, 68, X68, 76, 77a, 91, 139, 168, 171, 172, 176, 188, 243, 341 and 521.

Each bus stop should show which buses stop there and their frequency. On the front of the bus the final destination will be given. It may also show the names of the main stops on its route.

Car

There are only a few parking meters around the LSE campus, mainly near Lincoln's Inn Fields. The closest NCP parking is on Parker St off Drury Lane.

The Blue Badge scheme is the main scheme in Britain which provides special parking rights for vehicles carrying drivers or passengers with disabilities.

Near LSE, the facilities for Blue Badge holders in Camden are very poor - the spaces in Lincoln's Inn, for example, are only available to holders of Camden's Green Badge.

The facilities for Blue Badge holders in Westminster are pretty good - there are seven dedicated parking bays within reasonable walking distance: one in Portugal Street (often full); one in Sheffield Street (new, apparently rarely used); three in Surrey Street (rarely all full); two in Temple Place (also rarely both full).

In Westminster a Blue Badge holder is allowed to park for one extra hour at a parking meter or in a pay-and-display zone. The Blue Badge map for central London is on the London Councils website.
