Walk out of Holborn Station and turn right. You can see a Costa coffee shop before you cross the road.

As soon as you are across the road turn right, on the other side of the road is the Metro Bank.

Once across the road, turn right and walk down the street until you get to Sicilian Avenue.

Here is Sicilian Avenue. You are going to cut through this avenue.
