Directions

"By road:

Wandsworth Road is a busy main road and there are few places to park. There is metered parking in St Rule Street. We recommend travelling by public transport as an easier option and to reduce car usage in the area.

Parking: There is no parking at the property. There are some parking meters in nearby roads, but we recommend accessing the site by public transport where possible.

The nearest Barclays Cycle Park is Wandsworth Road Isley Court. There are also places to park your own cycles nearby."

Opening Times

Always check with the venue directly for up-to-date information including opening times and admission charges as they may be subject to change

Wandsworth Road Station is on the Overground. It is one stop from Clapham Junction. Exit left out of the station and walk a few minutes until you reach number 575 on your left.

By bus:

Frequent local services stop directly outside 575 Wandsworth Road. If travelling from Vauxhall, go to Vauxhall Bus station, and at stand G take the numbers 87, 77, or 452 and get off at Westbury Street. The bus journey should take under fifteen minutes and 575 Wandsworth Road is just a couple of doors down from the bus stop. If travelling from Wandsworth (via Clapham Junction), get off at St Rule Street stop and cross over at the pedestrian crossing. The house is directly to the left of a dark green building (no. 577).

Underground

Nine Elms Station on the Northern Line is the closest tube station, approximately 15-20 minutes walk away. Clapham Common Station is about a 20-25 minute walk, via Clapham Old Town, (the Common should be on your left and you should pass a paddling pool and bus terminus). Continue to Rectory Grove and walk down Matrimony Place past St Paul's Church and the Eden Community Garden. This brings you to Wandsworth Road and number 575 is just two doors to the right."
