How to Find Us: when travelling by train
London Marylebone to Acocks Green
When travelling form London it is easiest to depart from London Marylebone, as Acocks Green station is on that line.
As not many of the London trains stop directly at Acocks Green station, you will probably have to change trains at Solihull station. You can stay on the same platform to wait for the local train, which usually leaves Solihull around 10 - 15 minutes after the London train disembarks.
Our hotel is located just 5 minutes walk away from the station. Turn right as you leave the station, and continue on until you come to Elmdon Road. Turn right onto Elmdon Road, you will see us mid-way down the road on the left hand side.

You will need to exit New Street and walk 5 minutes down the road to Moor Street station (the little station across the road from the Selfridges side of the Bullring Shopping Centre). From Moor Street, you can take an onward train to Acocks Green.
