The church is located in the centre of Kingston, adjacent to the market place. Some streets in the centre of Kingston, including the Market Place, are pedestrianised, and there is a one-way traffic system around them, so descriptions of how to get there by car would be quite complicated. Click here for a map or consult a street atlas.

The OS grid reference of the church is TQ 179693.

By train, come to Kingston station, cross the main road in front of the station to a small street, Fife Road. Follow this as it curves to the right and then to the left; at the end (opposite Marks and Spencer), turn right and in 100 yards you will see the church on the left.

By bus, from Teddington or Hampton, get off at the John Lewis store, the church is opposite.
From the East or South, for most routes, get off the bus at the town centre, and follow the main pedestrianised shopping street, past Marks and Spencer and the Bentall Centre till you see the church on the left. Routes 281 from Tolworth and 465 from Leatherhead continue to the stop at John Lewis which is right by the church gate.

Parking. The market Place is closed to all vehicles and there is very limited parking in neighbouring streets. The nearest car parks, with distance from the church, are: for those coming from the South or West - Drapers car park, Kingston Hall Road (500 yds), the Fairfield car park, by the Kingfisher swimming pool. (500 yds) or Ashdown Road (500 yds). If you are coming from West or North, Bishops Hall car park, by the Bishop pub is always open - and always charges (100 yds); there are meter bays in Down Hall Road, free after 6:30 weekdays, 5:30 Sundays (next to the old power station - 400 yds), or you could park in Hampton Wick High Street (meters, but free in the evenings), and walk over the bridge. (600 yds)
Opening and closing times, and charges, vary - it is up to individuals to check that they have paid any charges due, and that the park will still be open when they wish to leave. From September 2006 the Borough of Kingston has introduced charges for all its car parks in the evenings, including Sundays. The only free evening parking is on parking meters but beware, meters in some areas charge until 9 or 10pm!
