Best ways to get around are cycling or the underground
Top tip: Download the Citymapper app. Enter your destination and it will provide you with all transport options available including combinations of trains, buses, walking, cycling etc.
We have a Santander bike rental station very close to the building on Pennington Street.
I'd also recommend downloading the Lime app - this allows you to rent ebikes that are parked all over the city. You can have one account and rent bikes for everyone in your group using the group ride feature.
