Travel Directions.
By Car. From Outside
London take M25, M3, A316, go over one roundabout and entrance to the Winning
Post is after 500 metres on your left. From Inner London, after Richmond
Circus follow A316 and continue straight on over 3 roundabouts. You will
pass the Winning Post on your right. At the next roundabout take the 4th
exit and entrance to the Winning Post will be on your left after 500 metres.
FREE PARKING. There is
extensive free parking at the site and in the residential roads behind the
Winning Post, The Harlequin Suite is to the right of the main building.
By Public
Transport. From Central London and the South of England by
overground train (South West Trains) 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 West Trains 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.
Late news: There are no engineering works scheduled for 23rd May on South West Trains but the District Line underground will not be running between Turnham Green and Richmond (there will be a bus replacement service)
Should you wish to take the London
Underground to Richmond as in previous years, the easiest thing is to
change platform and take a South West Train service to Whitton Station as above
(4 trains an hour from Richmond, journey time 8 minutes). alternatively
you could get a black cab or a H22 bus from the taxi rank and bus stop outside
the station.
Oyster cards are accepted on all
London Underground lines, buses and South West Trains to Whitton Station.
The Winning Post Inn opens from 07.00
to 11.00 serving breakfast or coffee for those who arrive early, the pub serves
drinks from 11.00 and Lunches from 12.00. There is a cashpoint on site
but Whitton town center with a full range of shops and banks is just 3 minutes
walk from the hall. Within the Winning Post complex is a Premier Inn
travel hotel for those who want to break their journey and stay
overnight. Link to website:http://www.premierinn.com/en/hotel/TWIWIN/twickenham-stadium
