Reigate Priory Pitches
Priory Playing Fields, Bell Street, Reigate, Surrey, RH2 7AQ.
By Train
Nearest Station: Reigate
London Bridge or London Victoria (more trains) and change at Redhill (as the seats are extremely dirty).
There is only one train per hour from Redhill to Reigate. It's a 10 minute cab ride (£4 - £6) and there's a taxi rank right outside Redhill Station. There is a Roadrunners office opposite McDonald's, which is cheaper. Avoid Redhill town centre, it's horrible.
Trains go from Brighton, Haywards Heath and Gatwick direct to Redhill. There is also a service from Gatwick to Reigate (one train per hour).
By foot from Reigate Station:
Reigate Priory is a 10 minute slow walk from Reigate Railway station. Leave the station and take the main road (Reigate Hill) [if coming from Dorking, Guildford, Reading, etc, turn left outside the station, left at the end and over the level-crossing; if coming from Redhill turn right outside the station and follow along the fenced partition of the platform to the main road and turn left]. Follow the road along until you get to a zebra crossing outside the Watson Wyatt building and its beautiful cedar trees and statue of Dame Margot Fontaine. Cross the road at the zebra crossing and head towards the pedestrian tunnel.
Go through the pedestrian tunnel (built for the Prince Regent, who didn't want to travel around on the way to see his mistress) and across the pedestrian crossing at the end of the tunnel. Incidentally, as you leave the tunnel, you will pass The Market Hotel on your right, which is our hospitality venue. Once across the road, cross the pedestrian crossing that is immediately on your right and proceed left, down Bell Street, passing Knights (old-fashioned department store with exciting lingerie in the window) on your right. Cross the pedestrian crossing of the road that leads to Safeway and then take the next right, through a small archway into a car park. You are now in the Reigate Priory Park grounds.
Follow the pavement, through a gate and you will find the changing facilities on your left. You won't recognise them as changing facilities unless you're a horse as they resemble stables, but they are.

From the M25 take Junction 8 to Reigate. Turn right at the roundabout and take the A217 towards Reigate and Brighton. Follow the road down the hill towards Reigate and go over the level crossing. Follow the road round to the left into the one-way system. Follow the signs for Reigate Town Centre and Gatwick. Turn right into Church Street and then next left into Bancroft Road. At the lights turn left and about 100 yards up the road, turn right into the walled car park. You are now in the Reigate Priory Park grounds. Follow the pavement, through a gate and you will find the changing facilities on your left.

Brockham Pitches
Brockham Big Field, Kiln Lane, Brockham, Surrey, RH3 7LZ.
By Train
Train to Redhill, Reigate or Dorking. There is no public transport that serves Brockham, except a bus, but that's only a rumour. It will be necessary to get a cab. It's better to get a cab from Redhill, as there are more cabs there and the taxi rank is outside the station (or a much cheaper option is to get a Roadrunner cab from opposite McDonald's, but there might be a wait a while). It's also an option to get a cab from Dorking, but this means a five-minute walk to the main Dorking station from Deepdene. There is a cab office outside Reigate station, just by the level crossing, but experience says that there's normally quite a wait for a taxi. It's about a 10-15 minute cab ride.
If you feel like being adverturous, the bus station can be seen from Redhill Station, but don't say that you haven't been warned!
