By
Underground:
Take the Northern Line to Morden, the southern
terminus of the line. From Morden station either
take a taxi to Garth Road or cross the road to
the bus stop for the number 93 (or 293) running
towards Epsom. This bus stops at the end of Garth
Road - ask the driver! (The nearest landmarks
that the driver will know near Garth Road are
the Lord Nelson pub or St. Anthony's Hospice).
The bus takes about 5 minutes from Morden station
to Garth Road. You will need to walk up Garth
Road - we are on the right hand side.
By
Train:
There are several stations nearby. The most convenient
is South Morden on the Sutton Loop of the Thameslink
Line. From this station, either take a taxi or
pick up the number 93 bus to Garth Road (see above).
The bus stop is on the main road outside the station.
Do not cross the main road otherwise you will
end up back in Morden!
It may be easier to get a train
to Raynes Park on the South West Trains main line
out of Waterloo. From here you will have to take
a taxi to Garth road. For train times to either
South Morden or Raynes Park, try using the timetabler

By
Car:
These directions start at junction 8 on the M25.
The route is shown on the wide-area map below.
From junction 8 on the M25 take the A217 towards
Sutton and London. This goes over a series of
large roundabouts and junctions. Eventually you
will come to a cross roads with the Epsom-Purley
road. Go straight on at these lights and just
a short distance further on is a roundabout where
you must turn left towards London (do not go straight
on towards Sutton). The road now goes over several
junctions. Eventually you will see a large Tescos
superstore on the left. Go past this up the hill
to the next junction. Carry on under the railway
bridge and up the hill to a large roundabout.
This is St. Helier roundabout, shown circled on
both maps on ths page.
Take the first exit from the
roundabout, Green Lane. Follow this to the end
where it swings to the left near a small primary
school. You will come to a T-junction where you
must turn left down the hill. There is a Harvester
restaurant and a park on the right hand side.
Carry straight on down the hill then back up the
next hill to the junction at the top, by the Woodstock
pub. Go straight on at this junction. On the right
you will see a T.A. barracks. Garth road is the
third turn on the right after this, at the bottom
of the hill. Once in Garth Road, we are on the
right. The route described above is not the most
direct, but it is the easiest to follow. If you
are familiar with the area or will have access
to a map whilst travelling then there is a short
cut you may want to use. Follow the directions
as above until the roundabout where you turn left
towards London on the A217. Now, at the second
set of lights turn left into Gander Green Lane.
Follow this road to the end where you will see
St. Anthony's Hospice opposite. Turn right down
the hill. Garth Road is then the second turning
on the left, by the Lord Nelson Pub.
