The closest tube station is Old Street, which is on the Northern Line, two stops from King's Cross/St Pancras.

At Old Street tube station, follow signs to Exit 3 and then continue South (on City Road, heading away from the roundabout) for less than a minute on foot to get to Leonard Street and then east on Leonard Street for just over 100 meters. Development House is on the corner with Paul Street.

In addition, there is also a Barclays Cycle Hire station (known locally as "Boris's Bikes") just outside the building ("Leonard Circus, Shoreditch").
