Step by Step Directions
Please see directions here from Drury Lane.
The postcode for your SatNav to the start of Drury Lane is LN1 3BN.
Turn into Drury lane which is a two way narrow road with parked cars along the right. Drive 200m along until you see the road bending to the left, at the corner please turn right into Wordsworth Street. If you end up in Castle Square (30m on) you have gone past it, turn around and take first left or you can park up in Castle Square car park which is a very short walk down to The Rest.
Turning right into Wordsworth Street, a two way cobbled road, you will see two 'Restricted Access' signs on the entrance to Steep Hill, these do not apply to you as you are accessing The Rest, so please drive down the hill for 50m. After 50m you will join Steep Hill. Turn right for 20m and you will be in a cobbled junction of 4 small roads. Drive straight on down Steep Hill, this part of the road is one way going down and is narrow, you will find The Rest on the corner on your left, just after The Arbour florists. Stop outside and drop bags, then drive to the car park of your choice.
