Getting here
Directions
-
Rail is one of the most environmentally friendly ways to travel and a great alternative to driving. We encourage our visitors to travel by rail where possible.
Southeastern run high-speed trains from London St Pancras and Stratford International every hour which take under 90 minutes to Margate station.
Southeastern also runs mainline trains from London Victoria, Cannon Street, Charing Cross and London Bridge, but will take a little longer.

The closest bus stop is Cecil Square. From here turn right down the main high street then right again towards the harbour arm. You’ll see the gallery just across the road in front of you.
Buses serving Cecil Square: Thanet Loop, 8,8A,8X,32,36
