Location and surroundings 

Regent High School is located in vibrant Camden, minutes from both Euston and St Pancras International Stations, giving easy access to the whole of London’s cultural and leisure opportunities.  The school’s state-of-the art building opened in 2014 and offers an inspiring working environment. Regent High School became the first school to be a member of the King’s Cross Knowledge Quarter, and is currently the only secondary school member.  We work closely with a number of Knowledge Quarter partners, including the British Library, Central Saint Martins College of Arts and Design, University of the Arts London, The Francis Crick Institute, the Wellcome Trust and others to provide additional opportunities for students, staff and parents/carers. 

Parking  

Driving to Regent High School is discouraged.  We are served by excellent transport links.  Parking around the school is limited and can be expensive.  Very limited on-site parking is available by prior arrangement for applicants with a specific need.
