toy soldiers and figures only. 60 tables; many full-time dealers will be there,
as well as collectors who attend this show to sell their spare figures.

The Venue
The Harlequin Suite, The Winning Post
Inn, Chertsey Road,
Twickenham,
TW2 6LS Link to website:
By Car
Same route as for the old
venue at Richmond. From Outside London take M25, M3, A316, go over one
roundabout and entrance to the winning Post is after 500 metres on your
left.
From Inner London, after
Richmond Circus follow A316 past QCH and continue straight on over 3
roundabouts. You will pass the Winning Post on your right. At the
next roundabout take the 4th exit and the entrance to the Winning Post will be
on your left after 500 metres.
FREE
PARKING. There is
extensive free parking at the site and in the residential roads behind the
Winning Post. The Harlequin Suite is to the right of the main building and
access is through fire doors at the rear and side of the hall.
By Public
Transport
From Central London and the
South of England by overground train (South West Trains) from Waterloo or
Clapham Junction to Whitton Station. There are 8 trains an hour and the
journey time is approx. 30 minutes.
From the North of England by
train to London arriving at Kings Cross, St. Pancras or Euston. Take the London
Underground Victoria line just 6 stops to Vauxhall and change for South
West Trains to Whitton Station as above.
Whitton Station is just 3
minutes walk from the Winning Post - turn left out of the station past Jubilee
Avenue and Pauline Crescent; the next turning on your left is the entrance to
the Winning Post.
Should you wish to take the
London Underground to Richmond as in previous years you could get a black cab
or a H22 bus from the taxi rank and bus stop outside the station but it is far
easier to change platform and take a South West Train service to Whitton
Station as above (4 trains an hour, journey time 8 minutes).
Oyster cards are accepted on
all London Underground lines, buses and South West Trains to Whitton Station.
