TRAVEL GUIDE
Directions to The Plastic Warrior Show
BY ROAD
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 and continue straight on over three roundabouts. You will pass the Winning Post on your right. At the next roundabout take the fourth exit (returning back the way you have come on the other side of the A316 dual carriageway) and 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. The venue is in the London ULEZ charging zone so you will need to check that your vehicle complies with the omissions requirements or pay the relevant fee.
BY PUBLIC TRANSPORT
From Central London and the South of England by overground train (South Western Railways) from Waterloo or Clapham Junction to Whitton Station. There are eight trains an hour and the journey time is approx. 30 minutes, this is a loop line so four trains an hour run from two different platforms at Waterloo Station.
From the North of England by train to London arriving at Kings Cross, St. Pancras or Euston.
Take the London Underground Victoria line just six stops to Vauxhall and change for South Western Railways to Whitton Station as above. Whitton Station is just three 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, the easiest thing is to change platform and take a South Western Railways service to Whitton Station as above, (four trains an hour from Richmond, journey time eight minutes).
Alternatively you could get a black cab or a H22 bus from the taxi rank and bus stop outside the station.
Oyster cards are accepted on all London Underground lines, buses and South Western Railways to Whitton Station.
The Winning Post Inn
Opens from 08.00 a.m. to 11.00 p.m. serving breakfast or coffee for those who arrive early. The pub serves drinks (alcohol) from 11.00 a.m. and lunches from 12.00 a.m. There is no cashpoint on site but Whitton town centre, with a full range of shops and cash machines, is just three minutes walk from the hall.
Within the Winning Post complex is a Premier Inn travel hotel for those who want to break their journey and stay overnight.
