Directions |
Hitchin Friends Meeting House is on the corner of Bedford Road and Paynes Park, on the one way system to the west of Hitchin Town Centre. You can get into this triangle from several directions: |
|
|
· from
Stevenage, the south and east (A602 from A1M), follow signs for A600
Bedford · from
Luton and the west (A505 from M1) · from
Bedford and the north (A600) · from
Letchworth and all points north and east follow the A505 through Hitchin
towards Luton From
all directions you will arrive at a roundabout by Hitchin Library and
Museum, signposted to Luton, Stevenage and Bedford. This is at the
southern end of the one-way triangle. I suggest you plan for at least a
couple of circuits to spot the Meeting House and to find the entrance to
the car park. Just keep in the right-hand lane and keep going clockwise
until you are confident of finding both! In case of difficulty, I will leave my mobile phone on until 11am, so call me on 07976 605692 and I will try to talk you in. |

Car parking |
There is NO parking on site. The surface car parks nearest the Meeting House are seriously expensive and best avoided. I suggest the Lairage Shoppers Car Park (shares its entrance with Safeway) or the long stay car park in Charlton Road (5 minutes walk) which each cost £2 all day. |
Trains |
Trains
run from Kings Cross to Hitchin. The railway station is about 15 minutes'
walk from the venue |
