Directions
Our meetings are in the Physics Common Room (PCR) in the Physics Department (also called the Blackett Laboratory) of Imperial College in South Kensington. The nearest underground station is South Kensington. Follow the signposts in the station to the museums or walk north along Exhibition Road. Turn left along Prince Consort Road. The building is at the end of the road on the corner of Prince Consort Road and Queen's Gate - building 6 on the map below.

Once in the building go up to level 8. The Physics Common Room is on your left as you get out of the lift. Should you get lost, ask someone for the directions to the Physics Common Room.
If you are unable to get into the building, call +44 7933 901927 or the number shown on the HPCC notice on the entrance door and ask for someone to come down and let you in. There are public payphones near to the building entrance.
