Transport options

  1. The coach from London

    A coach leaves Hammersmith on Saturday morning and arrives at the church. After the ceremony it takes you on to the reception.

    The coach leaves Old Hill Farm at midnight and returns to Hammersmith.

    If you would like a seat, make sure to say yes on your RSVP.

  2. Train, then a taxi

    Botley is nearest, a 10–15 minute drive. Winchester and Petersfield are bigger stations with more direct trains, about 25 minutes away.

    Book a taxi in advance. Swanmore has few local cars and Botley has no rank, so ring ahead — particularly for late evening journeys.

  3. Driving yourself

    M3 junction 11, then the B2177 through Twyford. From Southampton, M27 junction 7 and the A334 through Botley.

    There are several public car parks in Bishop's Waltham for the ceremony — all six are listed in the Q & A. There is a field for parking at the farm, and cars can be left overnight and collected on the Sunday.

  4. The midnight shuttle to New Place Hotel

    For anyone staying at New Place Hotel, a shuttle leaves Old Hill Farm at midnight and takes you to the hotel. It is complimentary and does not need booking, but do say yes on your RSVP so we know the numbers.
