Travelling to UCL
UCL is located in the Bloomsbury district at the very centre of London. There are easy connections to UCL from London's airports and London's extensive public transport system is easy to use.
No matter where you are travelling from you will find that UCL is very well connected. We are located in Bloomsbury within walking distance of Euston, St Pancras and King’s Cross mainline stations (all within 15 minutes).
As there are no parking facilities on campus and parking in the wider area is neither free nor in great supply, we strongly recommend that you use public transport to get to us. See below for the many quick and affordable ways to travel that London has to offer.
Campus maps of UCL can be found at https://www.ucl.ac.uk/maps/.
