The best way to get there is via tube to Old Street, on the Bank branch of the Northern line. This is accessIble directly from Euston, Kng's Cross and London Bridge stations. From Waterloo it is best to take the Jubilee line to London Bridge to change onto the Northern line. From Victoria it is best to take the Victoria Line to King's Cross or Euston to change onto the Northern line.
For a more scenic approach or in case there is a tube strike, buses are as follows:
The 205 runs along City Road from Paddington station, passing Euston and King's Cross on the way
The 214 runs along City Road passing King's Cross
The 43 runs along City Road from London Bridge Bus Station
The 141 runs to Old Street from London Bridge Bus Station
The 21 runs along Provost Street (just north of Old Street) from London Bridge Road
The 243 runs from Waterloo Station past Old Street but not along City Road
