How to Find Us

By road

We are most easily found from the A10. Turn off the A10 at the A602/B1001 exit. At the roundabout at the top of the slip road take the exit marked Ware B1001 into Westmill Road and go straight over two mini roundabouts. Immediately after the pedestrian crossing, turn right into Fanshawe Crescent. Turn right at the cross-roads into Park Road, going past the GSK factory on the left and a school and swimming pool on the right. Turn left into the lane also marked Park Road. Follow this lane past the cottages and over the bridge which takes you back over the A10. Immediately after the bridge, follow the road round to the right, with fields on either side. The monastery is on your left.

By train

Main line trains from London Liverpool Street Station take about 45 minutes. Depending on the route of the train, they stop at either Seven Sisters or Tottenham Hale for underground connections.

There is a taxi firm at the station. Come out of the ticket office and turn right. By car, the journey to the monastery is about 10 minutes.

By foot

There is also a pleasant walk by the river, which takes about 30 minutes from the station. Follow the footpath along the River Lea towards Hertford, past two bridges and the lock/weir, then take the bridge with wooden railings over the river towards the GSK factory. Follow the path up towards the main road, with the car park on your left. At the intersection, take the first left into Park Road, going past the cottages and over the bridge crossing the A10. Immediately after the bridge, follow the road round to the right, with fields on either side. The monastery is on your left.
