Frequently Asked Questions

move is located just south of the lovely Victoria Park, beside the bustling Roman Road market. We are situated on the first floor of the large Abbott’s building but our separate entrance is just around the corner on Dane Place, London E3 5EJ. You will see a black door with a white move logo on it - press the bell button on the silver panel to the left of the door and we will let you in.
On foot and cyclists: We have a large stairwell for bike and buggy storage, so you may bring these inside and leave them at the foot of the stairs. Please do not bring any bicycles upstairs as we do not have space for them in the studio.
Under and Overground: Our closest tubes are Mile End and Bow Road which are both a 10-15 minute walk. Bethnal Green / Hackney Wick / Homerton are the nearest overground stations which are all either a 25 minute walk or a short bus ride away. Bow Church is our closest DLR stop and is a 15 minute walk.
Bus: Both the number 8 and 339 stop just outside the studio (the bus stop is named Ford road). The 488, 276, 277 and D6 will all also bring you within five minutes walk.
Car: There is no parking on Dane Place but free parking is available on the surrounding streets before 8:30am and after 5:30pm Monday to Saturday and all day on Sunday. There is also a small paid car park run by Tower Hamlets council opposite the studio, on the junction of Roman Road and St Stephens Road.

We will open the studio 10 minutes ahead of classes, and we will silence the entry buzzer once the class begins, so you will not be able to gain entry after that time.
