FIND THE VENUE

On Foot:

Walk down the street with the colleges on your left. Continue past Trinity College (Trinity Street) and on past St. John’s College (St. John’s Street). The street ends at a crossroads. Opposite, you should see the Round Church. Cross the road, and take the path to the right of the Round Church. The Union Society building is at the end of that path.

Head across the square, away from Great St. Mary’s Church, and towards the left corner. Follow Market Street from that corner until it joins Sidney Street. Turn left down Sidney Street, and follow it past Sainsbury’s on your left, Patisserie Valerie on your right, and continue until you see the Round Church on your right. Turn right down the path just before the church. The Union Society building is at the end of that path.
