It's basically located near Holloway Road tube station which is on the piccadilly line.
Your best bet would be to come out of Euston Station and Walk over to Kings Cross St Pancras (it's about a 10 minute walk you could get the tube but I'd walk it personally)
At Kings cross you want to get on the Piccadilly Line north bound and its two stops away. The first being Caledonian Road the second being Holloway Road.
At Holloway Road when you come out the station the place is on the lefthand side if you keep walking up the road you will see it on the right hand side.
I need to check as they closed the Piccadilly Line this weekend from Kings Cross to Cockfosters, if they do the same next weekend we might have a problem. Might be easier to go back to Hyde Park

I know that walk very well! I go that route every time I visit Stoke.
It all seems quite straightforward actually, thanks. I think we'll be much less likely to get lost now. And it doesn't seem like I'm going to have to go on the underground system for long, which I'm glad about.

It's almost just a straight line, just with a couple of corners to turn, and it's quite a nice walk too. Seems like quite a nice part of London to me. But if I were to go anywhere else in London I'd be sure to get lost. I don't even know how to hail a taxi.
In fact, the last time I tried to travel around unfamiliar parts of London, it rapidly became a bit of a nightmare for me.

Can't come because I'm northern scum, but I hope you have a lovely time of it.

I had a similar thing happen when I was 12, i ran away from home and was at a station and a middle aged man offered me money for sex and i was so frightened I phoned my mum to come and get me straight away. That sort of thing at stations at night is very scarey for teens.

True. I can imagine it's pretty shady at night, but during the day, it's usually just commuters and tourists and studenty looking types just going about their business. Let's just hope I never get stuck there overnight.
I always get all excitable when I pass through there though.

Wow, that must have totally creeped you out. Yuck.
