Great Portland Street is normally the simplest Tube station for a Tempo appointment because it gives the shortest walk. Regent’s Park is a practical alternative for the Bakerloo line. Oxford Circus has the longest walk of the three, but it may still save time when the Central or Victoria line gives you a direct journey.

The useful choice is not always the closest station on the map. Use the station that avoids an unnecessary change, then leave a small arrival margin. Tempo Performance is at 1 Cavendish Mews North, Fitzrovia, London W1W 6LA.

Choose by line first, then walking time

Apple Maps walking estimates checked on 18 September 2026 gave the following planning guide:

  • Great Portland Street: about 7 minutes and 0.3 miles.
  • Regent’s Park: about 10 minutes and 0.4 miles.
  • Oxford Circus: about 11 minutes and 0.4 miles.

All three routes were described as mostly flat. These are estimates from the mapped station point to 1–2 Cavendish Mews North, not promises from a particular platform or exit. Station corridors, traffic lights, crowds and your pace can add time.

Great Portland Street: normally the shortest walk

Transport for London lists Great Portland Street on the Circle, Hammersmith & City and Metropolitan lines. The station address is Euston Road, W1W 5PP.

This is the straightforward default when one of those lines fits your journey. The checked walk was about seven minutes, but allow longer if you are unfamiliar with the area or arrive during a busy period. The final destination is a mews address rather than a large street-front building, so keep the full postcode available for the last part of the walk.

Regent’s Park: useful for the Bakerloo line

TfL lists Regent’s Park on the Bakerloo line at Marylebone Road, NW1 5HA. The checked walk to Tempo was about ten minutes.

Choose Regent’s Park when it gives you a direct Bakerloo journey and Oxford Circus would add extra station complexity. TfL lists lifts among the station facilities, but a lift listing does not by itself confirm a fully step-free journey from train to street. Use TfL’s accessibility tools before relying on that feature.

Oxford Circus: longer walk, more line options

TfL lists Oxford Circus on the Bakerloo, Central and Victoria lines. Its station address is Oxford Street, W1B 3AG. The checked walk to Tempo was about eleven minutes.

This can be the better whole-journey choice when the Central or Victoria line takes you there directly. Saving three or four minutes on the street is not helpful if it requires an inconvenient interchange. Oxford Circus can also be busy, so add time for the route through the station and for the exit you use.

Check accessibility and live travel separately

Do not infer step-free access from the presence of a lift, escalator or short street route. TfL’s accessibility maps and guides give the current network detail, including the difference between street-to-platform and street-to-train access. The journey planner can also apply accessibility preferences.

On the day, check TfL’s live status page before you leave. A service change, lift fault or station restriction can make a different route more sensible than the usual choice.

Plan the final ten minutes

For a first visit, aim to reach the area around ten minutes before the appointment. That margin covers the last crossing, the station exit and finding Cavendish Mews North without turning the journey into a rush.

  1. Choose the direct line that fits your starting point.
  2. Check live service and accessibility information.
  3. Keep the full address and postcode in your map.
  4. Add a small margin beyond the walking estimate.

If you have time before or after the session, Tempo’s short green-space guide gives three separate options by available time. For the appointment itself, the contact page confirms the studio address and gives a direct way to ask about arrival details.

The practical next step is simple: choose the station by your Tube line now, then recheck the live route shortly before you travel.
