Maps and Instructions
London Underground map.
Getting to
Imperial College. (do
not go in the tunnel if you travel to South Kensington
tube station.)
The simplest way to get here:
Travel to the tube station Gloucester
Road (District,
Circle, and Piccadilly Lines).
When you exit the station, turn left along Gloucester
Road, crossing Cromwell Road 50 meters from the
exit.
After 4-5 minutes walk along Gloucester
Road, turn right to Queen's Gate Terrace.
This is a short road leading directly to the entrance of the
Huxley Building,
at 180 Queen's Gate. We are on floor 6.
Getting
to King's College.
Getting
to QMW. From Stepney Green tube go left along Mile End Road
for about 200 metres.
From Mile End tube go west along Mile
End Road for about 300 metres.
Getting
to UCL. The nearest tube
station is `Euston square', but `Warren Street'
and `Euston' are also quite close to the college.

London Mathematical Society.
