   The building is in the top left of the campus map.   The Lecture Theat
 re is on Level 1 of Blackett.  Ground level is between levels 2 and 3.  
 Enter from Prince Consort Road and follow signs down one level.\nThe neare
 st underground stations are South Kensington and Gloucester Road\, each ab
 out 10 minutes walk from Blackett.  South Kensington station can get very
  busy because of the museums.  From SK\, unless it is raining\, ignore th
 e signs to the College\, which will take you down a long tunnel.  Head up
 wards to the light.\nDetails of how to get to Imperial can be found here. 
 Note that the Heathrow Express is expensive – you can take the Piccadill
 y Line straight to Gloucester Road\, or the Elizabeth Line into London\, w
 hich are slower but cheaper.  Similarly\, from Gatwick\, the Gatwick Expr
 ess is more expensive and only marginally faster than the fastest Southern
  trains (but note that some trains are slow).  From all airports and on t
 he underground and buses\, you don’t need to buy a ticket first and can 
 use contactless payment cards.   Tap in and out with your card on the und
 erground and trains.  On buses\, only tap in. None take cash.\nScientific
