Where Church House is
Portslade Station has frequent train services to Littlehampton and Brighton. Church House is within walking distance down Boundary Road (Portslade’s High Street) and New Church Road — about 600 yards.
Easiest approach by road from most parts of the diocese is via the A27 Brighton/Hove By-pass. Use the A293 towards Portslade; turn left on to the A270 Old Shoreham Road and then immediately right at the next traffic lights. New Church Road is the second on the left over the level crossing, at traffic lights. Church House is about 200 yds along New Church Road, next to St Leonard’s Aldrington church. Parking is easily found in the surrounding streets: there are marked “Disabled” parking spaces available in the Church House car park.
