This location has excellent transport links - and is obviously particularly well placed for competitors who are able to fly in to Heathrow airport. The links from the other main airports (Gatwick, Luton and Stansted) into central London are all excellent of course - and naturally the Eurostar is also a great option. London is of course relatively simple for anyone wanting to drive from mainland Europe, but be aware that this venue is on the West side of the city and so you will need to drive around the M25.
There are plenty of hotels in the immediate area that will allow players to walk between the fields and their accommodation. And note that all the food will be provided at the fields.
Details of the last mile...
By train
Travelling from the centre of London you have two options:
Take the PICCADILLY LINE to Hatton Cross tube station, and then use bus #90 towards Harlington. There is a bus every 10 minutes. The journey takes approximately 20-25 minutes, followed by a few minutes walk to the fields.
Take the train from PADDINGTON station to Hayes & Harlington station and then either the #90 or #H98 bus towards Harlington (they leave from Bus Stop E outside the railway station). There is a bus every 10 mins. The journey takes approximately 15 mins, followed by a few minutes walk to the fields.
By car
For those coming from outside London by car, the simplest option by far is to stay on the M25 until the M4 Junction 15. Exit M4 almost immediately at M4 Junction 4, take the first exit at the roundabout, and then first exit again at the next roundabout (almost straight away) onto Holloway Lane. Go back underneath the motorway, take the next left into Sipson Road, and then once you are in the village of Sipson, turn left into Sipson Lane. You will cross back over the motorway before reaching the venue parking.
We encouragecompetitors from within London to leave their car at home and use the tube/train/bus.
