The Charterhouse is situated in Charterhouse Square, off Carthusian Street. The entrance is on the opposite side of the Square as you enter from Carthusian Street, to the right of the Malmaison Hotel. It can be identified by a large black gate in an 18th century building with a lodge. The gate will be open when people arrive and the Porter will let them in. Once inside the precincts of the Charterhouse, follow the “Way in” signs.

Getting there

By bus: Buses 153, 4 and 56 to Barbican underground station in Aldersgate Street. Then it's a short walk from there.

By car: Parking in Charterhouse Square is metered, even on Sundays (possibly telephone parking only), costing £6 for 4 hours. Otherwise single yellow lines and meters in Carthusian Street or vicinity.

By underground: The nearest underground station is Barbican, just 3 minutes walk away, or Farringdon slightly further away (both on the Circle, Metropolitan and Hammersmith & City lines). However, because of maintenance work on the line, it is advisable to check with the Transport for London website: tfl.gov.uk.
