Getting to Bromley House Library
Bromley House is situated in the centre of Nottingham, in Angel Row, the westward extension of the Old Market Square.  It is a few yards above the Bell Inn and a hundred yards below the central City Library. The street entrance with its fanlight is opposite Habitat, between Barnardo's charity shop and MSR newsagents - easily overlooked!

a.  From Nottingham railway station on foot (about 10 minutes' walk).  Turn right out of the station entrance and walk down Carrington Street, crossing the main road at lights, then straight ahead (past the Broadmarsh bus station on your right - National Express coaches arrive here). Cross Collin Street at lights and walk straight through the Broadmarsh Shopping Centre to pedestrianised Lister Gate.  Straight on, then left at St Peter's Church into Wheeler Gate to reach the Old Market Square.  Keep straight on along edge of the square (Beastmarket Hill – almost flat and no animals!) past the Bell Inn – Bromley House is on the left, opposite Habitat.

b. From railway station by tram. Use the centre bridge from the platforms to take you directly to the tram terminus.  Take any tram to Old Market Square (second stop; £1.50 single or £2.70 day ticket).  Turn right as you leave the tram and follow past the Bell Inn as above.

c. From car parks.  The city centre is busy and confusing to drive in with many one-way streets. The best routes are probably Park-and-Ride, all well-signed.

•         From the south (M1 junction 24 / A453), use the Queens Drive car-park (keep left over Clifton Bridge) and take the bus to Collin Street, then as for train above.  Use this also if coming from the east, e.g. from A1 via A52 from Grantham or A46 from Newark (follow A52 ring-road avoiding city centre). Please note that the Queens Drive car-park closes at 19.30.
•         From the north (M1 junction 26), use the Phoenix car-park, or from the A60 or A606 (Mansfield and Doncaster), use the ring road to Wilkinson Street car-park, or Mansfield Road to the Forest car-park.  From all three, the tram goes to Old Market Square - turn left as you get off the tram, then as above, past the Bell Inn.
