Getting There
Whether you're traveling from London or a little further afield, getting to Tonbridge is nice and easy.
🚆 By Train
Regular Southeastern services run from London Charing Cross, London Bridge and Waterloo East to Tonbridge, with the fastest journeys taking around 40–45 minutes. The Fire House is only a short walk (around 5 minutes) from Tonbridge station, so there's no need for a taxi.
🚗 By Car
Tonbridge is easily reached via the A21, with straightforward access from the M25, making the journey from central London around an hour, depending on traffic. There are several public car parks within a few minutes' walk of The Fire House.
If you miss a train back to London, there are also plenty of taxis in Tonbridge.
And if the celebrations aren't quite over by 11pm... Wetherspoons is conveniently right next door and serves until 01:00 am, so there's every chance the evening will continue a little longer. 🍻
Making a Weekend of It?
If you'd rather not worry about the last train (or you intend to help us close the bar), there are plenty of places to stay nearby.
The Rose & Crown Hotel – A traditional coaching inn right in the centre of Tonbridge, just a few minutes' walk from the venue.
Premier Inn Tonbridge – A reliable option a short taxi ride away.
Premier Inn Tonbridge North – Another good value choice just north of the town centre.
The Carpenter's Arms – A charming country pub with rooms, around 10 minutes by car.
If you fancy something a little more upmarket, Royal Tunbridge Wells is just 4 miles away and has a great selection of boutique hotels, bars and restaurants. It's only a 10–15 minute taxi ride from the venue, making it an ideal base if you're planning to make a proper weekend of it.
