First of all – here’s the most important bit of information, where is the Grand Final actually taking place?
The Student Developer Challenge Final takes place at BAFTA, located at 195 Piccadilly, London.
Located roughly in the middle of Piccadilly Circus and Green Park tube stations, it’s about a five or six minute walk from either.
The full address:

For people arriving into King’s Cross St Pancras station, take the Piccadilly Line five stops southbound to Piccadilly Circus.
For those coming into London Euston, the quickest route is the Victoria Line down to Green Park.

The cheapest way to get around London is using an Oyster card, rather than paying much higher cash fares, or a Travelcard which gives unlimited travel in London until 0429 the next morning!
