From the Junction 8 roundabout of the M11, you take the Bishop’s Stortford exit. This road will lead onto a second roundabout. On this roundabout take the first exit that takes you along the A1250 (Do NOT take the A120).
Whilst driving the next 1/4 of a mile, you will see Bishop’s Stortford Golf Course to the left and an industrial estate to the right, before you reach a small roundabout.
At this roundabout, drive straight over it (second exit) and continue for approximately another mile until you come across a major road junction with traffic lights. During this stretch of road you will see lots of trees, go over a railway bridge, Nags Head Pub (left) on a sharp bend bearing right which you follow, Used car Sales Garage (Left), Land-Rover Garage (Right), mini-roundabout, Hockerill School (Right) and the rear entrance to Herts & Essex High School (Left).
When you reach the crossroads with traffic lights (you will be sloping down hill slightly at this point), you need to take the left. Turning left takes you onto the start of London Road, you keep following this road until you reach a mini-roundabout. As you drive along you will see a launderette, SUDS on the right, Aldi Supermarket (Right), Three Tuns pub (Right) and a Volkswagen Repair Garage (Right). At the mini-roundabout London Road does NOT go straight across it, but continues RIGHT over the railway bridge. After you have gone right at the roundabout you will see ITVet to the left, the Baan Thitiya Thai Restaurant on the right and then finally Shell Garage (right).
When you get to the Shell Garage, you continue in the same direction that you have already been driving, for a further 1-2 minutes. This means at the Shell Garage round-about, you take the first exit and continue following London Road. As you drive along this road you will see: Dawns Food Stores (Right), Traffic Lights with a post box, Mitre Gardens (Right), Pedestrian Crossing (Traffic Lights) and then Carry on London Road past the former entrance to TBSHS on the right.
