Venue

The Community Centre is a single story building shared with the Whitton Corner Pharmacy. It is situated between Twickenham School/Whitton Sports and Fitness Centre and the Whitton Health and Social Care Centre and across the road from Twickenham Cemetery. The Hewitt Room is on the right at the end of the entrance corridor.

Travel details to venue - Driving

The nearest main road is the A316 (Chertsey Road). Come off at the Hospital Bridge Roundabout heading north taking the exit signposted 'B358 Whitton' onto Hospital Bridge Road and then the next right onto Percy Road at the Health and Social Care Centre which is just past the Church on your right. The entrance to the Community Centre's car-park (which includes disabled spaces) is then on your right. This is free for those using the building but is quite small. If it is full local roads have unrestricted street parking.

The Centre lies within the ULEZ (Ultra Low Emission Zone) area so you may wish to check your car on the TfL website (Check your vehicle tfl.gov.uk) to see if you would be liable for the £12.50 daily charge for driving in the zone.

Travel details - Public Transport

The Centre is a 10-12 minute walk (around 800m) or short bus ride (see below for details) from Whitton Station. The station is in TfL fare zone 5 and is served by South West Trains semi-fast London Waterloo to Windsor and Eton Riverside service or the stopping Waterloo-Hounslow loop service. Note that the latter service is limited to peak hours.

It is also on H22 and 110 bus routes both of which pass Whitton station and link to Hounslow or Richmond respectively for London overground (from Richmond) or underground (Piccadilly or District line respectively) services. If travelling from Whitton station get off the 110 bus at the Ryecroft Avenue stop and walk on past the School to the Centre. If using the H22 disembark at the Whitton Corner Health and Social Care Centre stop, then walk back into Percy Road to the Centre.

Travelling towards the station, both buses use the stop directly across Percy Road from the Community Centre.

The 481 bus from Kingston to West Middlesex Hospital in Isleworth also serves the Whitton Corner Health and Social Care Centre but offers a limited service ending before 8pm so again whilst it could be used to reach the meeting it could not be used to return.
