"Wonderful experience being trained by Ben McCarty. He knows his job very well. Give us the trainees opportunities to express ourselves, ask questions and respond to them accordingly. But he is sometimes too fast with words that some of us who are not English native speakers sometimes find it a little difficult to follow along. But he’s a great trainer."
“The whole course was well taught and delivered in a professional manner. My instructor, James Gilles, was very knowledgeable over all subjects covered in the door supervisor and the first aid course. any questions raised were answered immediately and a full explanation given. 10/10 for the whole experience & the support from Get Licensed."

Getting To Your CCTV Training Course In London-Euston
Venue location
St Giles Hotel. Bedford Avenue, London, WC1B 3GH, United Kingdom
Euston is 1.57 miles North West from the centre of London, Bedford Avenue is located within the county of Greater London, which is in the London region of the UK. It is in the postcode area of Camden and is easily accessed by public transport. A good location for shopping, eating, and leisure time.
By Train
If you are coming into London on the overland train you can take an Avanti West Coast and arrive at the National Rail station at Euston, it is a one-mile walk to the training venue from there. The Birmingham train takes one hour and twenty minutes, if you want to continue by train there you change for the Northern Line tube to Tottenham Court Road, just around the corner from the hotel.
By Taxi
If you arriving by plane we recommend using London Airport Transfer their prices are very reasonable price and have a professional manner. Regent's Park Taxis & Cabs is a highly regarded local company, you can use an app to prebook with them and expect a safe ride with a personable and polite driver. For impeccable service give Executive Cars UK a try and expect high standards.
By Bus
The nearest bus stop to the hotel is Tottenham Court Road Station (Stop C) and it is serviced by the 24, 29, 73, 390, and several night buses. All of these buses will take you from Euston train station to just outside the hotel, plus to other areas in the city if you need to get around.
By Road
If you are coming to the hotel in a car, let's say from Birmingham, you will want to follow the M6 and M1 to London, then take the A41, Avenue Road, and Gower Street to Bedford Ave in Bloomsbury.
Parking
There are car parks in the area, such as Urban Parking Shelton street. With 24-hour access and staffed at all times by professional, polite, and kind employees. Your car will be safe but at £16 for the first 2 hours, and £52 for 24 hours, it’s not cheap.
We recommend using the JustPark app and pre-booking, as it is Trustpilot endorsed, and has a number of local suggestions for the area.
Walkability
To get from Euston Station to the hotel firstly walk south-east on Melton Street, then turn right onto Euston Road./A501. Turn right towards Gower Street, take the pedestrian tunnel, and continue straight onto Gower Street. Take a right turn at Bedford Avenue and walk on until just before you hit Tottenham Court Road. With a 100 out of 100 Walk Score it’s safe to say London is walkable, and with supermarkets such as Tesco and Sainsburys all in easy walking distance you’ll be able to get supplies for your stay.
Accommodation
The easiest option would be to stay at the hotel itself St Giles London - A St Giles Hotel rooms at £80 a night and the convenience of staying where your course is might tempt you. Free wifi, a restaurant in the hotel, and use of the gym.
A good budget offer we recommend is Exmouth Arms being a short walk from Euston Station it is convenient for those coming in on the train. You get a free breakfast included in the price of £22 a night and is above a traditional pub so you could get your meals right there.
Not too far away is the Clink261, which at £50 per night for a hotel in London is a bargain. A kitchenette and TV in all rooms, plus they have 24/7 reception. You can install their app GOKI where you can check in online and also get the smart key/code.
For other options in the area, we suggest using Booking.com
Food
In the hotel where you will be doing the training is a restaurant Hudson's House, so you could eat there while on the course. LEON is always a safe bet, with a variety of European dishes on offer. Open until 11 pm French Tacos UK serves great food, and their own cheese sauce is made on the premises.
