Walking or Cycling
We’re about a 10–15 minute walk from Nottingham city centre.
There is a bike rack outside the main entrance, and cycle parking is usually available.
If you prefer, you can hire a Lime e-bike from several nearby locations. For more information, visit the Transport Nottingham website.
By Tram or Bus
We’re very close to the Nottingham Trent University tram stop (on Goldsmith Street), served by trams heading to Hucknall and Phoenix Park.
Trams announce and display each stop, and the Meeting House is at the top of a hill—Chaucer Street is the gentlest way up.
You’ll also find many bus stops nearby, including on Talbot Street, Wollaton Street, Derby Road, and at Canning Circus.
For bus routes and times, visit Traveline.
From the Train or Coach Stations
From Nottingham Railway Station or Broadmarsh Bus Station, take any tram heading to Hucknall, Phoenix Park, or Shipstone Street, and get off at Nottingham Trent University.
From Victoria Bus Station, it’s a 15-minute walk via Shakespeare Street.
You can also catch a Two or Rainbow 1 bus and get off near the Cathedral on Derby Road—only 5 minutes from the Meeting House.
By Car
If you’re coming from the south or west, go through Canning Circus. As you head east from the roundabout, fork left onto Talbot Street, then turn left again at the lights onto Clarendon Street.
From the north or east, you can reach Clarendon Street via Peel Street or Waverley Street.
Note: Goldsmith Street is for trams only.
