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 and follow it past Wallington Girls' School and down the hill to Wallington. Go straight on into Wallington High Street (when you reach the lights at the top of the town by Sainsbury's), under the railway bridge at Wallington Station and continue down to the lights at Wallington Green. Go straight on, follow the road round to the right and continue on this road through Hackbridge (you go over the railway at Hackbridge Station). Soon after Hackbridge, go straight on at a blob roundabout (big green and a small river on your left) and continue to the bridge at Mitcham Junction Station. Go over the bridge and bear left into Cranmer Road.
You will immediately go over another bridge and then along a green on your right. Go straight on at the blob roundabout and continue to the traffic lights at the end of the road (Mitcham Cricket Green is on your right) in the right hand lane. Turn right at the lights and then you immediately have to follow the road round to your left as the one-way triangle starts there (the road name is Lower Green). Once the road goes round to the left, you will pass a fire station on your right. Now be in the right hand lane to follow the road round to the right on the hair-pin bend. Then get into the left hand lane and follow the road off the triangle one-way system and into London Road which takes you into Mitcham town centre. As the road widens into 2 lanes, get into the right hand lane as the road (both lanes) swings left onto another one-way system. Follow the lane round to the right again, going straight on across the traffic lights and up to the next lights where you want the left or middle lane of 3 to bear left into London Road (again).
Continue up to the roundabout with the traffic lights where you want the right hand lane to bear right into Streatham Lane. In the next few minutes, you will follow this under a railway bridge, over a blob roundabout and up a small hill, through a couple of sets of traffic lights close to each other and over another railway bridge before you come to another set of traffic lights. Go straight on and you will soon come to a large junction where you go (effectively) straight on to join the A23 (which comes up the hill from behind you to your right). Once on the A23, you are looking for the 3rd right (not including Gleneldon Road, which is right turn off that (complicated) junction). The 3rd right in Pinfold Road and is immediately after a Pelican crossing and directly opposite a Boots Pharmacy. The venue is immediately on your left. It would appear that street parking is fine (red route ends there at 7pm).
TRAINS: Journey
Planner (TFL Web Site)
The nearest station is either Streatham or
Streatham Hill.
Streatham: Come out of the station and turn left. Continue straight on over the first set of traffic lights, cross the road and walk up the hill (A23) towards the next junction. At the top of the hill, follow the A23 (almost) straight on (it bears fractionally right) and then take the third right (Pinfold Road). The venue is immediately on your left.
Streatham Hill: Come out of the station and turn right, following the main road south. At the first crossing, cross over to the other side and continue in the same direction. After you leave the junction that Streatham Hill Station sits between, you want the 6th left turn which is Pinfold Road. The entrance is immediately on the left.
