COme out of the Angel tube station and turn left, following signs for Saddlers Wells. Cross straightover the crossroads and keep going. A little way down there are signs to turn right to Saddlers Wells. Pass the theatre on you right and keep going past the park on the left hand side of the road. As the park ends there is a sign for the FRC and you turn left and then first right. The FRC is up some steps (or a slope) on your right. Be ready to open your bag for a security check and switch off mobile phones. It only takes about 10 minutes to walk there from Angel at a good pace. Have fun and get there as early as you can - once you start to look you can't stop!! Alison

Hi, you'll need a drink and some sandwiches and some change for a locker to put your coat etc( in the basement) where the loos are.The ground floor has the bookshop and the indexes and the top floor has the censuses.

Hi They also in the basement area have vending machines for tea/coffee/soft drinks and limited sandwiches - some small change might help if you fancy a cuppa. The lockers take a £1 coin refundable. However, everytime you open locker - you must reinsert your coin, to be able to lock again. They hold census from 1841 - 1901. (1901 is available on computer there too - same as at home) Liz
