There may be a rail and tube strike on Wednesday 4 October but the Legal Geek team has gone to extraordinary lengths to ensure that people can still attend the two-day conference, arranging free boats and luxury mini buses for people across the UK.
Legal Geek has said that on both Wednesday and Thursday it will pay £30 towards any taxi fare used to get you to the event. Oh yes, and if you arrive on a horse, you get a lifetime pass.
The tube strike does not affect the Elizabeth Line, DLR or London Overground, and all lines will be running on day two (Thursday 5 October.)
Here are the alternative transport details:
