How to get to the Williams Racing London Fan Zone

There’s under one week to go until we welcome the first fans inside our London Fan Zone, presented by Kraken.

Set across multiple floors, there will be plenty going on throughout our seven-day stay in Piccadilly Circus and you can find out more about that here.

London is one of the busiest cities on the planet and boasts one of the best public transport networks.

Our base during British Grand Prix week is right at the heart of the capital, but we know what it can be like – just one look at a tube map is enough to make some people go busy.

Don’t fret, we’ve created this simple guide to help you find us in a breeze.

Getting to the Williams Racing London Fan Zone by London Underground is our recommended method – we are found right outside Piccadilly Circus tube station.

Piccadilly Circus is served by both the Piccadilly and Bakerloo lines. When you arrive at the station, head for the ticket barriers then look for Exit 1. We are just a few metres from this exit.

Our Fan Zone is also only a five-minute walk from Leicester Square station (on the Northern and Piccadilly lines).

The nearest step-free station, with lifts from platform to street level, can be found at Green Park (on the Jubilee, Victoria and Piccadilly lines). We are a 10-minute walk from this station.

The Underground can get pretty warm in July, so make sure you carry a bottle of water with you.

London’s iconic red double-decker buses stop just a few seconds from our front door. A total of 22 different bus routes all serve the Piccadilly Circus, with a full breakdown of the routes available on the TfL website.

Our Fan Zone is centrally located, so it’s nice and simple to get to from any of London’s major railway stations.

All of London’s major international airports offer quick rail travel into the centre of the capital via one of the train stations mentioned above.

If you’re arriving in to Heathrow, catch the Piccadilly Line straight to our door. It will take just under an hour, but will be a fraction of the price of the other methods available to you. Consumer advice from an F1 team, you’re welcome!

Please note that we expect the Fan Zone to be very busy so avoid bringing large bags or luggage with you.

Even if you were behind the wheel of our FW45, it wouldn’t help you in London traffic.

There’s incredibly limited parking in the immediate area, plus we’re right in the middle of the Congestion Charge zone.

If you’re coming by car, we recommend parking at one of the stations on the edge of the city and catching the tube in.

Want to pay us a visit before making your way to Silverstone for the weekend? Our Fan Zone is the only place you can pick up our Great Britain Collection in person.

To get to the home of Formula 1 from our London base, you’ll want to make your way to Euston Station before catching any of the regular trains to Milton Keynes Central or Northampton – from there, grab a shuttle bus or taxi.

Wolverton is the closest station to Silverstone Circuit, approximately 10 miles from the venue, but is rarely served by shuttle buses.
