Moorgate (Northern, Hammersmith and City, Circle, Metropolitan), Barbican (Circle, Hammersmith and City, Metropolitan) and Angel (Northern) are about a 10 minute walk away.

Car: Moorfields is on the A501, and is approximately 6.5 miles from junction one on the M1. There is very limited meter parking near the hospital. The nearest NCP car park is approximately 10 minutes walk/a bus ride away down City Road at Finsbury Square.
Congestion charge for vehicles: congestion charging operates in Central London, Monday - Friday, 7am - 6.30pm (excluding public holidays). City Road is located just inside the zone. Visitors coming in to the hospital should note that all side streets are within this zone, and if these are used you will be required to pay the charge. This can be paid at a machine located in the outpatient clinic. There are alternative car parks close to the hospital (on Nile Street) that are situated outside the zone.
