Driving to our house
When it comes to the very final stages, the map at the bottom of this page may be useful.
From Colchester
- Take A12 South, towards London
- Take Marks Tey exit, signed A120, toward Stansted Airport
- Follow A120 until shortly after Stansted, when you take the M11 North exit, towards Cambridge.
If you don't exit you end up on M11 South, towards London, so make sure you take the exit.
- Follow "From London" instructions
From London
- Take M11 to Junction 9 (marked A on map)
- Take A11 to junction with A1307 (marked B on map)
- Turn left at A1307 roundabout, towards Cambridge
- Follow "From London and Colchester, part 2" instructions
From London and Colchester, part 2
- Follow A1307 as far as Addenbrooke's Hospital Roundabout
- Turn right at hospital roundabout (onto Fendon Road)
- Go straight across next roundabout (which is a weird Dutch-style
round about with a priority cycle ring on it, so slow down and pay attention
to signage and road markings). Take exit two, following signs for Ring Road (ring
road also goes off to left here, don't be fooled!)
- Go straight across next two roundabouts (warning: there are two speed
cameras along this stretch)
- Go several hundred yards to next set of traffic lights
- Turn left at lights onto Brookfields
- Go down Brookfields (which becomes Mill Road) until you reach the CoOp
supermarket on your right. If you cross the railway bridge you have gone
too far.
- Take the second right after the CoOp, which is Sedgwick
Street. We are number one, which is the first actual house on your left.
- Park where you can. The Tesco car park, immediately opposite our house,
allows parking without time limit, though after three or four days they may
start asking questions. The on-street parking in Sedgwick St. isn't
permit-controlled.
From the NorthEast
- Take the A14 to the junction with the A1303 (marked C on map)
- Turn left at the roundabout, taking the A1303 in towards Cambridge
- Go across the first roundabout
- Pass the airport on your left, and take a left at the next roundabout
onto Barnwell Road
- Go down Barnwell Road, and across the next roundabout (passing
Sainsbury's on your left) onto Brooks Road
- Ignoring the lights outside Sainsbury's (Well, not if they're red.
Stop if they're red, you clot!) turn right at the next lights onto
Brookfields
- Go down Brookfields (which becomes Mill Road) until you reach the CoOp
supermarket on your right. If you cross the railway bridge you have gone
too far.
- Take the second right after the CoOp, which is Sedgwick
Street. We are number one, which is the first actual house on your left.
- Park where you can. The Tesco car park, immediately opposite our house,
