Arriving at the BT Tower

The BT Tower is located in Fitzrovia in London (45 Maple St, London, W1T 4BG) and has good tube and other public transport links. Please note that there is no parking on-site at the venue.

On the event days, enter the BT Tower via the main reception at the Maple Street entrance.

At reception, you will be asked to provide a government issued ID - the name on this document must match the name on the guestlist. Example ID could be:

  • UK driving licence

  • Passport

  • Official company pass

  • Press Card

After reception, you will proceed through an airport style security check. This includes walk-through metal detecting arches and a 3D x-ray baggage scanner.

There is a small cloakroom for coats and bags at the tower. Please try to store larger items, such as suitcases, at your accommodation.

Finally, you will need to check-in at the CLC welcome desk as we use a separate guestlist to BT.
