By Road - Drive your self
There are several routes to Westgate-On-Sea from the M2 motor way, but the following directions are probably the easiest to follow. Once on the M2 leave at junction 7 into Thanet Way (A299 - signs to Margate), then at St. Nicholas Roundabout take the first main exit onto the A28 to Westgate-On-Sea via Birchington. Once on the main Canterbury Road in Westgate-On-Sea, turn left into St Mildreds Road, drive past a few shops on the right and the cinema on the left, continue through the junction of Westgate Bay Avenue and finally turn right into Sea Road. St Christopher's is number 15 on the right.

Ferries & Airports
The nearest airport is the rather small London City Airport which is 60 miles away (100 km) and serves mostly european routes, while Heathrow, Gatwick and Stanstead provide the best global air services and are well connected to the major rail arteries. If you are flying from abroad, we recommend that you use one of the big three and take the train from London Victoria to Westgate-On-Sea.

Dover is one of the largest ports in England and provides many sea links to passengers who wish to tour with their car, to or from the continent. The P & O Ferry Company is one of the major operators at Dover, and should be your 'first port of call' for passage information. Although the Channel Tunnel and the Eurostar have increased the trans-continental options!
