Getting to HERE at Outernet: the location, the stations and a seamless arrival

Opened as part of the Outernet London district in 2022, HERE at Outernet is a custom-built, blank-canvas venue hidden four storeys below the centre of London. Inside, a 6K wraparound LED screen, a d&b sound system and flexible stage configurations make it a favourite for brand and product launches, movie premieres, awards ceremonies, conferences and gala dinners — for clients such as Prada, Netflix and Samsung — with capacity for up to around 1,500 standing or 350 for a seated dinner. Above ground, the Now Building's jaw-dropping screens make the whole district a landmark. For all that spectacle, the practical question on the day is refreshingly ordinary: how do you and your guests actually reach the door — on time, and without the stress of West End traffic or a surge-priced app? This guide answers exactly that.

01 / LOCATIONWhere exactly is HERE at Outernet?

HERE at Outernet sits within the Outernet London district at St Giles Circus, where Tottenham Court Road, Oxford Street, Charing Cross Road and Denmark Street meet, in the WC2H postcode area at the eastern edge of Soho. It is right beside Centre Point and the historic Denmark Street — London's "Tin Pan Alley" — and directly above one of the busiest transport interchanges in the city. That position is unbeatable for guests arriving by Tube, but the surrounding streets are largely pedestrianised and intensely busy, so the final approach by car rewards a driver who knows exactly where to set you down.

02 / THE SETTINGA venue four storeys down

One feature shapes every arrival here: the main HERE space is underground, reached from the Outernet district at street level by St Giles Circus, then down into the auditorium. The venue includes a mezzanine, green rooms with a live feed from the stage, a VIP bar and a loading bay used for car and vehicle launches. The point for arrival day is simple: this is a venue used to large, well-orchestrated events with guests arriving in waves, so a smooth, pre-planned set-down at street level keeps the start of the evening as polished as everything below ground.

03 / STATIONSNearest stations and getting around

Public transport access is about as good as London gets:

• Tottenham Court Road (Elizabeth, Central and Northern lines) is right beside the venue — the Elizabeth line connects it directly to Heathrow.
• Leicester Square (Piccadilly and Northern lines) is a short walk south.
• Covent Garden and Oxford Circus are both within easy reach.
• Mainline rail — Charing Cross and Euston are short rides away, with King's Cross St Pancras quick on the Northern line.

Buses run along Oxford Street and Charing Cross Road nearby. For getting around the city day to day, the location is essentially the centre of everything. The catch is the familiar one: superb when you are travelling light, considerably less so in evening wear, with equipment, or coordinating VIPs and a group after a long flight.

04 / AIRPORTSAirport transfer times to HERE at Outernet

HERE at Outernet is reachable from every London airport, but the journeys — and how relaxed they are with kit or a group — vary. The board below gives realistic door-to-door driving times for a pre-booked private hire car. Treat them as a planning guide; central London traffic has its own ideas.

From Heathrow

Heathrow is the gateway for most international guests, and the connection here is unusually neat: the Elizabeth line runs direct from Heathrow to Tottenham Court Road in around 35 minutes, surfacing right at the Outernet district. For arrivals with luggage, evening wear or a group, a direct Heathrow airport transfer by car removes the change entirely — with the driver meeting you in arrivals after baggage reclaim and bringing you straight to St Giles Circus.

From the other airports

From Gatwick, Luton and Stansted, the rail routes all mean a fast train into a London terminus followed by a final leg into the West End. A door-to-door transfer keeps the whole thing to one car, one driver and one fixed price — which matters most when you are arriving for an event or moving as a group.

Outernet is built to make an impression. The arrival should be just as smooth as the show below.

05 / THE EASY WAYArriving for your event — train, Tube or private hire?

There is no single right answer. Travelling light and arriving solo for a daytime conference? Tottenham Court Road station is literally next door. A pre-booked private hire transfer tends to win when arrival matters most:

• You are arriving for a premiere, launch or awards night and want to step out close to the door, not emerge from a crowded station.
• You are coordinating VIPs or a group who would value a saloon, executive car or MPV.
• You want a fixed fare known before you travel — no surge, no meter ticking in West End gridlock.
• Your flight time is uncertain — a tracked driver simply adjusts and waits.

06 / NEARBYWhat's around HERE at Outernet

Once your event is under way, the entire heart of the West End is at the door:

• The Now Building — Outernet's giant wraparound screens, free to experience above the venue.
• Denmark Street — the historic home of British music, restored and just steps away.
• Soho & Chinatown — restaurants, bars and theatres a short walk west and south.
• Covent Garden & the West End — the piazza and theatreland a few minutes away.
