By Train

The nearest rail station to the Hospital is Ladywell Station, which is on the Charing Cross to Hayes line and can also be reached via Waterloo East and London Bridge stations. The Hospital is sign posted from Ladywell Station and is about 5-10 minutes walk away. Lewisham Station (main line and Docklands Light Railway) is approximately 20 minutes away by foot and a short bus ride away.

By Car

The limited amount of car parking space on the Hospital site has always been a concern as demand has always outstripped supply. As a result, we advise people travelling by car to allow plenty of time to find a space. Folowing patient feedback, drivers now pay for parking when exiting the site, so that they no longer have to estimate how long their stay on site might be.

Please note: The main entrance for vehicles changed in November 2010 and patient and vistor parking in no longer accessed via Albacore Crescent. See map for new entrance and parking information >>

By Bike or Foot

If you are able, the healthiest option is to travel to the Hospital under your own power, by bike or by foot. For cyclists, there are a number of covered cycle racks where you can lock your bike with some protection from the elements. Lewisham Council provides information on local cycle routes. By foot, there are a range of routes to reach the hospital, including signposted footpaths giving a shortcut from Ladywell Station.
