In&nbsp;terms of&nbsp;that, the&nbsp;nearest railway station is Clapham Junction, and&nbsp;from there BAC is either a&nbsp;ten minute walk up Lavender Hill, or&nbsp;you can catch a&nbsp;bus (87 or&nbsp;156) from Stop D, just outside the&nbsp;St. John&#8217;s Hill exit of&nbsp;Clapham Junction. If you&#8217;re coming from oop North, there are regular trains from Waterloo to&nbsp;Clapham Junction. There&#8217;s also some cycle parking on&nbsp;Lavender Hill either side of&nbsp;BAC.
