Directions to Venue

Walking Directions from Edinburgh Waverley Train Station (0.6 miles) 

Leave station via the Market Street exit. (This is found via the upper walkway within the station concourse).  

Turn left, continuing along Market Street. Cross over and where the road divides, go up the hill – this is now Jeffrey Street. This continues up and to the right.

At the crossroads, go straight over into St Mary’s Street. At the bottom of the hill at another crossroads, go straight over onto the Pleasance. Continue up the hill past the University Sports Centre on your left; as you reach the brow of the hill, look ahead and you’ll see the red topped spire of the Greyfriars Charteris Centre. 

By Bus

The name of the closest main bus stop is Surgeons' Hall, located on Nicolson Street. From Surgeon's Hall turn at the crossroads into West Richmond St (next to Specsavers). At the next junction cross using the pedestrian crossing and you will be at our front door. 

By Car

We do not have a car park but there is pay-and-display parking on Brown Street at the side of the building or on-street parking in the area.​​​​​​​​
