From M25 exit at Jct 8 onto the A217, heading North towards London. From the A217 traffic lights at Banstead, take the A2022 Winkworth Road towards Purley. Go straight-on at the mini-roundabout, straight on at the proper roundabout and continue along this road (Croydon Lane). Turn right at the next mini-roundabout and the ground is on your left shortly after entering Woodmansterne village.
From Purley take the A2022 Foxley Lane towards Banstead. Go straight ahead at the first mini-roundabout, along Little Woodcote Lane and then Woodmansterne Lane. Turn left at the second of two mini-roundabouts onto Carshalton Road and the ground is on your left shortly after entering Woodmansterne village.
Via Public Transport The club is 250m from the Merrymeet stop on the 166 bus route, which run every 20 minutes from West Croydon to Epsom. From the stop follow the road towards Banstead (which is straight on if coming from Croydon, or back up the road if coming from Epsom/Banstead), and the club will be on your right.
If you are coming from London the quickest route is to get the train to Woodmansterne Station, walk down the road to the main road, and you'll see the 166 bus stop on the opposite side of the road. The bus should take about 8 minutes. You might also be tempted to walk from the station via Alexander Ave, Whitethorn Ave and Richland Ave, which comes in to the back of the ground, and while this is possible it is not advised as the hill is extremely steep, and rises 170 feet. Of course this does mean that the walk down to the station after a game is a very easy walk.
Trains to Woodmansterne only run every half hour, and there is no taxi rank there, so it can be quicker to go via Purley Station which has 8 fast trains an hour from London, and where there is a busy taxi rank right in front of the station. You can also get the 166 bus from outside Tesco which takes about 21 minutes.
