Leave CCF and turn left, heading to the traffic lights. Turn left into Woodcote Grove Road and follow this all the way to the Foxley Lane blob roundabout. Go straight on, over the crest of the hill and as the road widens about ½ mile after the roundabout, you will come to a large green on your right where you need to bear right into Sandy Lane South. Follow this to the end, crossing another blob roundabout about ½ way down and bear left onto the main road which retains the name Sandy Lane South. Drive down to the traffic lights.

Turn right at the lights onto Stafford Road. You will pass Mellows Park on your and then come to a set of traffic lights where you turn left using the filter into Plough Lane. Follow this over the bridge and down the junction by the Plough pub where you turn right onto the A232 Croydon Road. Drive up the slope, past the Poppet’s factory and then down to the lights where you turn left onto the A23 Purley Way.

Follow the Purley Way straight on over the next side of lights at the junction of Mill Lane and Waddon Road. Go straight on through the lights by Sainsbury’s and other stores on the Purley Way Industrial Estate. Follow the A23 over the bridge (watching th camera the other side!) And then down to the Lombard Roundabout. At the Lombard Roundabout, take the 3rd exit (the first one after the A23 north) up Canterbury Road. Follow this to the top of the road where you turn left into Croydon Road.

You will pass Mayday Hospital on your right and then ahead, you will see Thornton Heath bus garage on your left. Just past the bus garage, you will see the Thornton Heath ponds roundabout. Just before you get there, however, opposite the end of Brigstock Road is a little alleyway with a sign over the top of it advertising some sort of car repair works. The entrance is down that alleyway but you are advised not to park down there as cars have been trapped in during recent history.  Enter through the fire door which is round to the right as you reach the end of the short alleyway.

TRAINS
Nearest Station is Thornton Heath which is a mile or so up Brigstock Road. Come out of the station and turn right. When you reach the end of the road, cross over and go up the alleyway opposite you - this is the one referred to in the car directions.
