How to get to Lumen
Lumen is where Tavistock Place meets Regent Square. If you have A to Z London that may be all you need to know.
From the railway stations to the North
From Kings Cross or St Pancras (International and Domestic) or Kings Cross/St Pancras underground get south of the Euston Road through a subway tunnel to Euston Road (South) or by using light-controlled crossing from the St Pancras side of the road that runs between the stations. In the subway, exit right up the stairs to Argyle Street and turn left, walking South along route of the Jubilee Walkway (with plaques embedded in the footpath). Near the end of Argyle Street turn right following sign to Holy Cross Church and turn left beside McGlynn’s pub ( Whidbourne Street). You will see Holy Cross church in front of you across Cromer Street. Go around left side of the church and keep forward (South – Harrison Street) to Lumen either beside short cycle path and along the short side of Regent Square or beside Stanstead housing block.
If you walk past Argyle Street just walk South along Judd Street to traffic lights; turn left there.

From south-eastern corner of the Square (Eastern, if you are using a compass), where there are traffic lights, come along the full length of Tavistock Place. Lumen is next to the brick office building clearly labelled high up as United Reformed Church House.
