Best approach is by car from the M4. Head North on Junction 3 towards Southall, go straight over the first roundabout and then leave on the exit road up to the second roundabout. Take the right hand exit towards Southall on the A4020, moving over to the right-hand lane in order to take the first right into Springfield Road (It's the turning just after the large MFI warehouse and Wickes store).
If you are heading on down via pubic transport, then take the overground to Southall station and pick up either the 207 or 427 down the Uxbridge Road to Springfield Road:

The entrance to the cycle track is on the right before the turning point at the end of the straight section of road. It is rather inconspicuous, but is to the left of the Technicolour club and sportsground:
Parking is at the far end:
And gives direct access to the track:
Slalom slope is image centre.
Overflow parking is in the park area a little further on from the track entrance and is open UNTIL 5:00pm. After this time it is locked!
Toilets are located by this parking area and are also SHUT AT 5:00pm:
Hut lowdown: bring your Thermos and dry teabag.
"...there are toilets at the front of the building. There are changing rooms, but no showers. There is plenty of off road parking between the changing rooms/toilets and track itself. There are kitchen facilites, tea urn, microwave, with mugs in cupboards under the counters. You will have access to them all, but please clean up the kitchen and main room after you."
Nearest food supplies are from a small store at the far end of Springfield Road, over the dual carriageway. Alternatively there is a Burger King at the next road down towards Southall by the Retail Park:
Mmmm. Onion rings.
The approach to Southall after Spingfield Road is typically jammed with traffic, so the best exit is once again the M4 route. Best place for post race rendez-vous might be the regular slalomer haunt of the Queen's Arms in Kensington http://www.fluidfoundation.com/venueDet ... arRef=1946, but this is open to change.
