You can activate the alarm by pushing the buttons on fire exits. If you hear an alarm, please vacate the building immediately. You do not need your key fobs as there are door release buttons on every fire exit (these will also activate the alarm). Our meeting point is top end of Omega Place.

There is a fire alarm test carried out every Tuesday at 11 am.

London is one of the friendliest, most diverse cities on the planet, with people from over 270 different nations and speaking over 300 different languages calling the city their home.

We’ve rounded up some top tips to help you get the most out of this incredible city on your own, as well as highlighting some of the best spots the city has to offer its solo travellers.

Try to blend in as much as possible
Avoiding ‘looking’ like a tourist can be a good place to start, whether you’re in a group or riding solo. Avoid checking huge maps in the middle of busy streets, keep bulky cameras out of view when walking around, and be mindful of ‘oversharing’ about being alone and lost in big crowds of people.

Don’t take any unnecessary risks
Although this sounds a little like something your mum might say, it’s good advice when travelling anywhere alone.

Let people know where you’re going if you’re planning to walk far alone at night, only flag down licensed black cabs, and keep valuables out of sight when walking along main streets – all the things you’d generally do back home.

Give a guided tour a go
London is home to a whole host of weird and wonderful tours – either on foot, by bus or boat – and it can be a great way to find out more about the city, indulge your interests, and make some new friends. With everything from literary tours (Harry Potter, anyone?) to art history, queer tours to a discovery of the city’s most prominent public loos, we dare you not to find one you don’t love.

If you prefer a shopping style self-guided tour, then head to Covent Garden, Oxford Street, or Regent’s Street!

Discover the different neighborhoods
From hip and trendy Shoreditch to busy and bustling Covent Garden, royal and regal Kensington to cool and quirky Camden, London’s diverse neighbourhoods each have something amazing to offer. Going it alone means you can explore at your own pace, spending more time in the areas you love most, too.

Experience a world-class London show
Head to the West End to catch one of London’s celebrated stage shows, with a varied choice of world-class performers, plays and musicals. See if you can bag a last-minute theatre ticket – it’s a benefit of solo travelling.

Explore the city’s museums and galleries
Create your own exhibit bucket list and see the museums of London as you wish. Who says you have to do the whole of the V&A or catch everything on display at the British Museum? Plan and follow your own path through London’s exhibits so you can go at your own pace!
