Location
Morgan Centre
Wellington Rd
Crowthorne
RG45 7LD (for the Wellington Road entrance – for the Car Park use Lower Broadmoor Road in a SatNav)

The Car Park entrance is in Lower Broadmoor Road opposite the junction with Addiscombe Road.

Detailed Directions
If going by car: we highly recommend using the free car park in Lower Broadmoor Road. The car park entrance is opposite the junction with Addiscombe Road. Once parked, the Morgan Centre is accessible via stairs which take you straight to the Morgan Centre entrance on Wellington Road. In the unlikely event that the car park is full, there are plenty of car parking spaces in Lower Broadmoor Road itself.

A more accessible option that avoids the steps: having parked in the car park, take the small side road to the High Street, turn right up the High Street and then right again into Wellington Road. Alternatively, if drop-off is possible then simply use the Wellington Road entrance (RG45 7LD).

Note: signs which apparently limit parking to 9:30pm have not applied for a number of years and parking is allowed beyond that time.

If going by train: the Morgan Centre is 1.2 miles from Crowthorne Station and the route recommended by google maps is fine:

Turn right from the station onto Duke’s Ride/B3348 (0.5 mile)
Turn right onto Waterloo Rd (0.5 mile)
Continue onto Church St (0.1 mile)
At the roundabout, take the 1st exit left onto High St 161 ft
Turn Right into Waterloo Road and the Morgan Centre will be on the right
