If you’ve taken public transport to get here, or are walking from the CBD, you can either make your way to the South Wharf Promenade boardwalk and head West towards Seafarers Bridge. Once you reach the bridge, continue along the river and through the pedestrian walkway. THE LUME Melbourne entry will be visible right next to South Wharf DFO. You can also walk through the Convention Centre, turning right through Door 9 and follow the signs to find us.
The Wilsons South Wharf Retail car park at the DFO is the closest carpark when visiting THE LUME Melbourne and is accessible via Convention Centre Place, off Lorimer Drive. Please ask our staff for a discount voucher for this car park as you exit THE LUME.
