Chiltern Branch venue details

Getting to Rickmansworth
Rickmansworth is well served by public transport. The Metropolitan Line from many London stations, and Chiltern Railways from Marylebone and Aylesbury.  There are frequent trains from Amersham, Chesham, Chalfont and Latimer, Chorleywood, and Watford too.

Free parking after 6pm is available in most of the town car parks, and you can park for up to three hours at the nearby Tesco store (5 mins walk). Unfortunately, there is no parking at Batchworth Lock. The Education centre is a log cabin building alongside the lock.

Free Travel on the Tube to Rickmansworth if you are lucky enough to have a London Councils Freedom Pass, another good reason to attend our meetings!
