From there, it takes an easy 5-6 minutes walk to get to the Riverside Campus.

By taxi: There are numerous taxi companies available. Pre-ordered taxis tend to be cheaper. Always make sure that the taxi meter is turned on when you start the journey. Please note that taxis are not allowed to enter the Campus, so you will still need to walk a little to reach the building.
