Public Transport
GTB Tower is well served by public transport:

- Moorgate Station — 7-minute walk (Northern, Circle, Hammersmith & City, Metropolitan lines)

Cycle to Work Scheme
GTB participates in the UK Government's Cycle to Work scheme, allowing staff to purchase a bicycle and accessories up to GBP 2,000 through a salary sacrifice arrangement, saving on tax and National Insurance. Applications are processed through HR Self-Service under Benefits > Cycle to Work.
Cycle storage is available in Basement Level 1 (capacity: 120 bicycles). Showers and changing facilities are located on the Ground Floor adjacent to the cycle storage entrance.
Shuttle Services
GTB operates complimentary shuttle buses between the following locations during business hours (07:00–20:00, Monday to Friday):

Taxi and Private Hire
The Bank has a corporate account with Addison Lee for business-related taxi travel in London. Bookings must be made through the Addison Lee corporate portal using your GTB employee ID. Personal use is not permitted. For journeys outside London, pre-approval from your line manager is required, and costs must be charged to the appropriate cost centre.
International Offices
Parking and transport arrangements vary by location. Staff in New York, Frankfurt, Singapore, and Dubai should refer to their local Facilities team for location-specific guidance. Local Facilities contacts are listed in the Department Directory.
Sustainability
As part of the Bank's Net Zero commitment, staff are encouraged to use public transport, cycling, or the shuttle service wherever possible. The Bank offsets carbon emissions from all corporate travel, and departments are set annual travel reduction targets as part of the Group Sustainability Programme.
