Hi, hope someone can help me. I am going to visit a friend in Epsom General Hopsital tomorrow and havent a clue where it is. Ive looked a the map, but i'm a woman and it doesnt make much sense!! Could someone give me (in very easy stages) directions from the M25 please. Eternally grateful.

Clare am also a woman and i don't drive so if you get lost don't blame me!!! LOL from M25 leave at junction 9 and follow the A24 towards Epsom, the hosp is on the A24 (Dorking Road) and if you find yourself in Epsom town you've gone too far!!! The hosp is on the right as you approach from the M25 Shelli

Clare Shelli's directions were very good but she forgot to say that you will drive through Ashtead village before you get to the hospital. You will see all the St Georges flags flying over the shops in Ashtead - very patriotic. Just follow the A24 from M25, it's a direct route, through Ashted towards Epsom and you can't miss the hospital on your right. The parking is a nightmare though! Sue - who has been in Epsom hospital more times than she cares to remember. I have 4 kids! LOL

Clare yep thats right just follow M25 a bit further, be careful when you come off as if i recall correctly theres lots of roundabouts at that junction!!!! but if you follow the A24 towards epsom you shouldn't go wrong good luck Shelli

Clare It is a bit confusing when you come off at Junction 9 but stay in the left hand lane, go left ( 1st exit ) at roundabout and the left again ( 1st exit ) at the next roundabout. This is the A24, takes you over the motorway, through Ashtead village and then hospital is on your left after about a mile and a half. Parking is murder at visiting times and the Ayatollah's who run the car parks do clamp. ( boo hiss) You might like to drive past the hospital into Epsom and walk back up if it's a nice day. I work there and they now charge us to park too. Hope your patient is on the mend. Debs

Thanks Shelli, Sue and 'Lady', I appreciate all your advice, if you see a mad woman driving a Picasso with 2 children in the back looking lost, thats me!! Thanks, Clare.
