Getting to the Meeting House on foot or bike

The meeting House is close to Reading town centre. From Broad Street head east
and then turn south down Duke Street and over the old hump back bridge to the
east of the Oracle. Cross the dual carriageway and head up London Street. Look
out for a sign to ‘Quaker Meeting House’ pointing down an alley to the right. This
opens out into Church Street and the Meeting House is through a black double
iron gate on your right.

The Meeting House is a 20 minute walk from the station. Walk up Station Road
and Queen Victoria Street to Broad Street, turn left into Broad Street and then
follow the directions above.

Meeting House, turn right off Southampton Street into Deansgate Road (just
after St.Giles Church), then turn right and then left into Church Street. The
Meeting HOuse is near the end on the left. During the day you can park for up
to two hours on a meter in London Street (cost 50p per 20 minutes), or in the
