In brief

From the town centre. Find the bottom of the pedestrianised area, near the (not yet complete) Travelodge, turn to face downhill, and follow Bridge Street downwards towards the river. Century House is on the right.

From Leatherhead Leisure Centre. The Leisure Centre is well sign-posted. It’s down a turning off the B2122 “Waterway Road”, just before it goes (South) under the railway bridge to become the Guildford Road, subsequently to join up with the A246 towards Great Bookham and Guildford. The same turning that serves the Leisure Centre goes to the cricket and football clubs. East Elmbridge and Mid Surrey (EEMS) PCT work out of “Cedar Court”, a building on the corner of this turning, and their staff can park in the football club. To get there from the Leisure Centre or football club, come back to the B2122 and turn Right. Stay to the right, turning into Bridge Street. Go over the bridge, cross over the road, and we are on the left, about 100 yards after the Running Horse pub.

The Leatherhead one-way system.

The one-way system goes in a sort of rectangle, Starting at its North-West corner it runs East along Randalls Road from the lights just West of the railway bridge by the station. It turns right to run South at a junction with the A245 - you could leave the 1-way system here to go to Kingston, or join it here coming from Kingston. The one-way system then turns right again to run back West after a junction with the B2122. Stay in the right hand lane here to stay on the one-way system, or join the left hand lane to turn left at the lights and go SSW along the B2122, to join the A246 towards Guildford. (If you do this you can turn Left at the next junction, and come back over the bridge, along Bridge Street.) If you stay on the ring road you go straight on at the lights, under the railway, and then follow the road around to the Right, to travel North up to Randall's road. Go straight on to the station, turn left towards the cemetery, or turn right to go back under the railway bridge on Randall's road again.

Car parking

If you can't arrange car parking at Century House in advance at Century House (we have a limited number of slots), we believe the cheapest long-stay car parking is close to the station - follow the one-way system East along Randall's Road, getting into the Right hand lane, and the car park is on the right. You can walk from there towards the town centre, and pick up the instructions as from the station. You can also park in a small, short-stay car park in Bridge Street, between the bridge and the Running Horse pub.

Getting to Century House by foot from the rail station:

The train line runs approximately North-South. Trains run on the left, so North-bound trains, going towards Epsom and London, stop at the West platform; and South-bound trains, going towards Dorking and Guildford, stop at the East platform. There are two exits for the station: the main entrance on the West side of the railway line, and the back entrance on the East. The roads are both called station approach. If you come out of the main entrance, turn (South) left out of the station, and then left again, under the arch of the railway bridge. If you leave via the back entrance, turn right (South) out of the station. Both ways will bring you to a pelican crossing. Cross over Randalls Road at this crossing. The footpath forks – take the fork diagonally left, towards Leatherhead town centre. Keep following “Town Centre” signs, and cross over Station Road at the pelican crossing on the other side of the park (barely 100yards).

Turn left after crossing the road, and then stay on the pavement when you come to North Street, following the road around to the right towards the town centre. Stay on the pavement as the road bends to the right, becoming Bridge Street. We are at Century House, 26 Bridge Street, which is about 150 yards down the hill from the pedestrianised town centre.

Getting to Century House by road from Kingston or Chessington (A243), to our office.

If you arrange it in advance, you may be able to park in one of our slots.

Travel down the A243 to the M25 (J9, Eastbound junction). Turn left at the roundabout, following signs to Leatherhead, When you get to the next roundabout (which is where Westbound traffic enters and leaves the M25) take the exit to the right, which might be signposted to an industrial estate, on the A245.

If you are going to use a public car park, move into the right hand lane, and follow the one-way system almost back to where you started, as in the section on the one-way system.

If you have arranged in advance to park in one of our slots, stay to the left as you enter the 1-way system. The road filters to the left, probably signposted to Epsom, and just after it has filtered off - immediately, don't miss it! - there's a turning to the right, towards the town centre. This is North Street. Follow the road around to the right, and you can turn into the entrance next to 26 Bridge Street. You'll need to get out and ask reception to let you in, or to phone one of us do so.

Getting to Century House by road from the South West (Guildford, Great Bookham, A246).

As you approach Leatherhead, about 1 mile from Leatherhead centre turn Left along the B2122 Guildford Road. After you come under the railway bridge you have a number of choices:

If you are going to use a public car park, you could turn first right into the leisure centre and park there or in the Football Club (although I’m not sure if this is allowed). Alternatively, stay on the B2122 Waterway Road until you join the 1-way system at its SW corner. Get into and stay in the right hand lane. After turning Right (East) into Randalls Road at the lights close to the railway station turn into the car park on the right.

If you have arranged in advance to park in one of our slots, take a Right turn at the island, into Bridge Street (NOT first right to the leisure centre). Cross over the bridge, and Century House is on the left about 100 yards after the bridge.

Getting to Century House by road from Epsom (A24).

If you arrange it in advance, you may be able to park in one of our slots.

As you come down the A24 you cross over the M25. Stay in the left hand lane, and then the middle lane. Go straight on at the roundabout, towards Leatherhead town centre. When you come to the lights stay in the right hand lane. Pass the Swan centre on the left (or use its car park).

If you have arranged in advance to park in one of our slots, turn left into North Street just as you get into the one-way system. Follow the road around to the right, and you can turn into the entrance next to 26 Bridge Street. You'll need to get out and ask reception to let you in, or to phone one of us do so.

If you are going to use a public car park, move to the right hand lane, and follow the one-way system until you are going East along Randall’s Road, and use the car park on the right along there. Alternatively, if you follow the instructions as if you were going to park in Century House’ car park, there is a small and relatively expensive car park in Bridge Street just after the bridge and just before the pub.

From other directions

I hope you will be able to find your way onto the one-way system, and follow the instructions as from Kingston/­Chessington from that point.
