Swiss Cottage in Camden, where Central is located, has just undergone a massive regeneration initiative. Now within a few steps from Central, you can access the new public leisure centre; twice a week you can shop at the Swiss Cottage farmers' market. You can also easily walk to Primrose Hill. Directly opposite the School is the Hampstead Theatre, one of London's leading off-West End venues (with whom Central has strong working links).

The quickest route to Central School of Speech and Drama is to take the Jubilee line to Swiss Cottage tube station, take Exit 2. When you step out of the tube station, you should be a few steps from the Hampstead Theatre. The front steps of Central are directly opposite the Hampstead Theatre.
