Directions

By Train

Nearest Station: Reigate

Travelling from London (45-50 minutes):

London Bridge or London Victoria (more trains) and change at Redhill (as the seats are extremely dirty).

There is only one train per hour from Redhill to Reigate. It's a 10 minute cab ride (£4 - £6) and there's a taxi rank right outside Redhill Station. There is a Roadrunners office opposite McDonald's, which is cheaper. Avoid Redhill town centre, it's horrible.

By foot from Reigate Station:

Reigate Priory is a 10 minute slow walk from Reigate Railway station. Leave the station and take the main road (Reigate Hill) [if coming from Dorking, Guildford, Reading, etc, turn left outside the station, left at the end and over the level-crossing; if coming from Redhill turn right outside the station and follow along the fenced partition of the platform to the main road and turn left]. Follow the road along until you get to a zebra crossing outside the Watson Wyatt building and its beautiful cedar trees and statue of Dame Margot Fontaine. Cross the road at the zebra crossing and head towards the pedestrian tunnel.

Go through the pedestrian tunnel (built for the Prince Regent, who didn't want to travel around on the way to see his mistress) and across the pedestrian crossing at the end of the tunnel. Incidentally, as you leave the tunnel, you will pass The Market Hotel on your right, which is our hospitality venue. Once across the road, cross the pedestrian crossing that is immediately on your right and proceed left, down Bell Street, passing Knights (old-fashioned department store with exciting lingerie in the window) on your right. Cross the pedestrian crossing of the road that leads to Safeway and then take the next right, through a small archway into a car park. You are now in the Reigate Priory Park grounds.

Follow the pavement, through a gate and you will find the changing facilities on your left. You won't recognise them as changing facilities unless you're a horse as they resemble stables, but they are.
