Train Travel
Well served by stations, but Whitton is the
one to aim for as it's only a couple of minutes walk away from the venue. SouthWestern Railways' site is here for updates and double checking. Since
taking over the franchise they have had some minor industrial action, but
there's nothing ongoing at the moment, although two other rail companies had
strikes today (Wed. 9th) so best to check the link.
Directions from PW's page -
From Central
London and the South of England
By overground
train (South Western Railways) from Waterloo or Clapham Junction to Whitton
Station. There are 8 trains an hour and the journey time is approx. 30
minutes, this is a loop line so 4 trains an hour run from two different
platforms at Waterloo Station.
From the
North of England
By train to
London arriving at Kings Cross St. Pancras or Euston. take the London
Underground Victoria line just 6 stops to Vauxhall and change for South
Western Railways to Whitton Station as above. Whitton Station is
just 3 minutes walk from the Winning Post - turn left out of the station past
Jubilee Avenue and Pauline Crescent, the next turning on your left is the
entrance to the Winning Post.
The Near-Clapham Omnibus and Other Charabancs
This is the National Rail bus-plan/local amenities poster for Whitton which you can download as a .pdf file and
print-out.
While local
bus details are available here,
and give the following buses as local click on each for timetable); PW recommends
the H22
from Richmond if you use the Tube (Metro,
U-Bahn, Underground) for the rest of your journey out of the city.
Viewpoint pulled-out a bit. I am reliably
informed you can also get a taxi-cab from anywhere within the European Union,
direct to the door of the Winning Post! Hire cars are available, try car-share . . . bicycle . . . Run!
