Getting to the Meet Venue…
I’ve attached a map of Rochester High Street, I’ve highlighted the Train Station, The Meet HQ, the 4 local Hotels and the locations of the Car Parking Facilities. The full postal address for the venue is The Corn Exchange, High Street, Rochester, Kent ME1 1LX. The easiest way to reach the Corn Exchange from London is to get the train directly in to Rochester Station from Victoria Station, Charing Cross Station or St Pancras Station for more details on train times please visit National Rail Journey Planner. We will have directional signs in place leading from the station to the venue. As well as from the main roads in and out of Rochester. If you are driving down there are lots of Car Parks but please note that they are Pay & Display so please bring plenty of change for the meter.
