Travel
and Parking
*Please
let us know if you need a lift*
Abingdon Mews is a small
alleyway just off West Malling High Street. It’s a new development so
you won’t find it on the map, but it’s very easy to find.
From M20, junction 4,
take A228 towards West Malling. At the lights turn right on A20 towards
West Malling. At the next roundabout, turn left towards the Town Centre,
continue up Town Hill past West Malling Garage and over the railway bridge.
Abingdon Mews is on the left just after the Bull Inn and the Thai Restaurant,
opposite the Millennium Statue and the Therapy Rooms. No 1 is at the end
of the mews on the left, behind wrought iron
gates.
Please do not bring your
car into Abingdon Mews, as it is very narrow and there is no place to
park. There are usually plenty of spaces on the high street, and there
are two free car parks off West Malling High Street, just a short stroll from
Abingdon Mews.
