Getting around

Rail and Tube | Bus | Walking and cycling | Car Club and Sharing

This part of the website aims to provide you with information so that you can access everyday services and amenities by walking, using the local transport system, or using the car share club.

Grand Union Village is fortunate that schools, shops and local services are within walking and cycling distance, or a short bus journey away.

Reducing the need for car ownership, access to public transport, encouraging cycling and giving more priority to pedestrians are all key features of the Grand Union Village vision.

This map shows Grand Union Village and the surrounding area. It provides information on bus routes, cycle routes, train stations, schools, shops, parks and green spaces and leisure facilities.
