By Car
The church is right next to the Roman Verulanium museum in St Albans. You should be able to park the car in the pay and display car park for the museum, although because the park is very close by and the wedding is on a Saturday in the middle of summer, you may have some trouble parking as it gets very busy. Other alternatives are to park on the verge on Bluehouse Hill or in the car park of the Waffle House (further down on the left of St Michaels Street, just before the bridge)

The hotel is the other side of town (about 1.5 miles from the church). There is a car park at the back of the hotel and plenty of parking on the road in front of the hotel. For those of you that feel up to it, it is probably easier to park at the hotel and walk or take a taxi to the church rather than trying to find parking near the church. It shouldn’t take more than 30 minutes to walk between the two.

From the South

To the Church:

  • Leave the M1 at junction 6 and follow signs for the A405 towards St Albans
  • After about 2.8 miles, you will reach a roundabout with the Thistle hotel on your left and a Shell garage in front of you. Take the first exit at this roundabout, signposted Chiswell Green
  • Follow this road until you reach a double mini roundabout with the King Harry pub in front of yous
  • Turn left at the first mini roundabout onto King Harry lane. You will pass Waitrose on your left
  • At the next roundabout, turn right onto the A4147 (Bluehouse Hill), following signs for Roman Verulanium (brown signs with a picture of a roman helmet)
  • At the next roundabout, you will need to go all the way round and back down the A4147 (continue to follow Roman signs) and take the first turning left down St Michaels Street. There is no right turn off Bluehouse Hill, so you have to come back on yourself to get down the road. The church is on your right, next to the Verulanium museum

By Rail
Thameslink trains run from various stations in London to St Albans and take about 20 minutes from Kings Cross. You can either take a taxi from the station to the church or walk through the centre of town which should take about 25-30 minutes at a leisurely stroll (see enclosed map). The hotel is very close to the station (about a 10 minute walk)
