From South Kensington underground station, the Imperial College campus is around five minutes' walk. Follow the pedestrian subway there (signedposted to the museums) until it terminates. When you emerge from the subway, turn left and continue along Exhibition Road towards Hyde Park. You will go pass the main vehicle entrance of Imperial College and the Mechanical Engineering Building will be on your left. You may find a map of the nearby area and a campus map helpful.
From Heathrow airport, take the Underground train (Piccadilly Line) to South Kensington station (50 minutes travelling time). From Gatwick airport, take a British Rail train to Victoria station (journey time 40 minutes) and then by Underground train (Circle or District Line; westbound, journey time 20 minutes) to South Kensington. Both airports are some distance from central London and a taxi is not recommended for the whole journey. However, if you have to do so, establish the cost before you get in.
By sea, take a British Rail train from the port of entry to London (Harwich to London journey time 1 hour 30 minutes; Dover to London journey time 2 hours) and then travel by Underground train to South Kensington station.
We have a few parking spaces at the College car park costing 10 pounds per 24 hours - please email fpl97@doc.ic.ac.uk if you are interested. Please note that car parking at the South Kensington campus is severely restricted and you are advised not to bring a car if possible. Parking in the streets surrounding the College is at pay and display or parking meters for limited periods only.
