TRAIN
National Rail Website - Accessible National Rail Website
Feltham Station is in London Transport Zone 6, on the Windsor and Eton Riverside to London Waterloo line and the Reading and Ascot to London Waterloo line. From London Waterloo, trains leave every 10 minutes and journey time is 30 minutes. From Clapham Junction (platform 6) the journey time is 20 minutes.
The venue is 2 minutes walk from Feltham station. The hotel can be clearly seen from the platform. If arriving from central London / Clapham Junction on platform 2, it is quicker to cross the footbridge and use the exit at the front of platform 1, not the exit through the main station building. This leads to a path through an arch under the road bridge, then up a ramp that comes out next to the hotel.
BUS
The 285, 490, 90, H25 and H26 bus routes stop at Feltham station. See the Transport for London website for full times and route details.
TUBE
Hatton Cross on the Piccadilly Line is the nearest tube station, about 2 miles away. Get the 285 or H25 bus to Feltham Station, about 10-15 minutes journey time.
CAR
Car parking is available at the hotel for visitors to the show. However due to potential overcrowding further parking is available down the road at Feltham Assembly Halls, see map for details.

For those coming from outside London, the best route is via the M3. If you are coming round London by the M25, come off at J12 and take the M3 towards Richmond and SW London. After about 6 miles the M3 turns into the A316 (Great Chertsey Road)
Ignore the first major turning off (signposted Feltham) and take the second exit (Heathrow, Hounslow and Hanwell - A314). This is one mile after the motorway ended and after the road has returned to ground level. Bear left (you have to) off the slip road and follow the road (Hounslow Road) for approx half a mile to a crossroads with traffic lights. Turn left - following the sign to Heathrow.
A further half mile brings you to a multiway junction, again with lights, from which you should see the tower of St Giles' Hotel over the rooftops ahead. Bear right at this junction, still following the sign for Heathrow.
Again, half a mile brings you to another set of light where you turn left. the hotel car park entrance is about 200 yds on your left - just before the road rises to cross the railway line.
Further directions are available from the St Giles Hotel website.
PLANE
From Heathrow terminals 1, 2 and 3, take the 285 bus from the Central Bus Station to Feltham Station.
From Heathrow terminals 4 and 5, take the 490 bus to Feltham Station.
Both buses stop outside the hotel (Fern Grove stop) just before Feltham Station or get off at Feltham Station (2-minute walk).
For visitors arriving from Gatwick airport, do NOT use the Gatwick Express, take the standard train service to Clapham Junction and change for a train to Feltham from platform 6.
