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

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.

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, 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.
