Travel
Whether you are coming by land, rail or air it is very easy to find your way to Primrose House which is located at 56 Boston Gardens, Brentford, London, TW8 9LP.
If you are arriving by air at Heathrow Airport, come through Customs into the Arrivals area and follow the "Underground" signs to the station. Take the tube, Piccadilly line, about 15 minutes to Boston Manor station. As you walk out of Boston Manor station turn immediately to the right and walk about 50 yards and take the first turn to the right into Boston Gardens. Follow the street down and around to the left and walk along to Primrose House at number 56.
If you would prefer to take a cab from Heathrow, the most economical way is to phone Boston Manor Cars when you come out into the Arrivals area (Phone: 0208 568 9222 or 0208 568 7222). The car will reach you in about 20 minutes. The fare will be about £15.00 to £18.00. Please confirm this fare with the driver before you leave the airport.
If you are arriving by plane at Gatwick Airport it is best to take the Speedlink Coach from Gatwick to Heathrow Airport then follow the directions from Heathrow to Primrose House. The bus fare from Gatwick is about £17.00 and the trip takes one hour plus - depending on traffic.
If you are arriving at Stanstead Airport it is best to take the National Express Direct Coach to Heathrow then follow the directions from Heathrow to Primrose House. The bus fare is about £19.00.
If you are driving from Heathrow, follow the airport exit road to the A4. Take the A4 east (left) about 7 miles until you see the huge, new, curved, glass building which is the world headquarters of Glaxo Smith Kline. Turn immediately left onto the A3002 towards Hanwell. This is Boston Manor Road. Drive about one quarter of a mile until you come to the first road on your left, this is Boston Gardens. Turn left into Boston Gardens and follow the road around to Primrose House, number 56.
If you are driving from the country, turn off the M25 onto the M4. Take the M4 east towards Central London. Turn off the M4 at Junction 3 and go south on the A312 towards Hounslow. At the first major roundabout turn left onto the A4 towards Central London and follow the directions above. If you are coming to London by country train, you will need to take the underground from your mainline station to the Piccadilly line and follow the directions above.
If you are driving from Central London, take the A4 west towards Heathrow. You will be turning right at the A3002 which is just before the Glaxo Smith Kline building. To make this turn, however, you will have to go past the intersection and take the turn immediately to your left which is a small loop that takes you around in front of the Glaxo Smith Kline building onto the A4 east. Then you are able to make the turn (now left) onto the A3002 toward Hanwell and follow the directions above.
