from the IBM office.
There is also a minicab office at

side.

Hatton Cross to Bedfont Lakes and on to Feltham Station.
This is a 20-minute service from 7 am to 11 pm.
By Air
Terminal 4 at Heathrow Airport is
within one mile of Bedfont Lakes. Some taxis may be
reluctant to take passengers on a short drive to Bedfont
Lakes, preferring instead rich pickings from a journey to a
West End hotel. Such drivers should be reminded that any
driver who takes a passenger on a short trip from Terminal 4
is automatically allowed back on the Terminal 4 taxi stand
without the usually long queue, providing it is within half
an hour. However there are a number of local cab companies
used regularly by IBM at Bedfont - they will 'meet and
greet' visitors, particularly those coming from abroad.
Whilst slightly more costly than a black cab they are
quicker, as you avoid the inevitable queues hassle free.
There is a free bus which runs from terminal 4. Pickup is at
Bay 13 (outside the arrivals area). The coach is a silver
grey colour and has New
Square Park on the side.
The driver can be contacted on 07712-788433.
By Road
Bedfont Lakes is on the A30 main
road from London to the South West. The entrance to New
Square is by a road from a roundabout on the A30 between
Staines and Terminal 4, Heathrow.
From the M25 take junction 13 which
is 3 miles from Bedfont Lakes. Follow the sign "A30
Staines"and continue along the Staines bypass towards
Central London. At the roundabout where the A315 and the
B3003 joins the A30, you will find a new road leading into
the site. The entrance to Bedfont Lakes site is the third
exit at this roundabout so it is wise to be in the outside
lane at this stage. This is the preferred route to Bedfont
Lakes from the North.
You can reach Bedfont Lakes from
Junction 14 of the M25. Drive along the A3113 towards
Heathrow Airport. At the next roundabout take the third exit
- the A3044 to Staines, a road that runs between the King
George VI and the Staines Reservoirs to the A30. Turn left
and drive to the next roundabout (Clockhouse) from where a
new road leads directly into the site. Alternatively from
Junction 14 you can take the Airport Perimeter road to
Terminal 4, exit on to the A30 south and take the A30 to the
next roundabout (Clockhouse) which provides a direct access
road to the site.
From the M3 and the South, take
Exit 1 (Sunbury) and turn left on to the Staines Road
(A308). After going through the fourth set of traffic lights
move across to the right hand lane to turn right at the next
set of traffic lights(this being the fifth set) after
turning right follow the B378 Ashford road till the
roundabout. Go across, following the B3003 road, signposted
the A30. You can enter the Bedfont Lakes site by making a
right hand turn just before the A30 roundabout.
From Central London take the A4
road past Chiswick and along the Great West Road to its
junction with the A30 near Heathrow Airport. Continue along
the A30, passing Hatton Cross station, the Hilton hotel and
Heathrow's Terminal 4. At the first roundabout on the A30
you will find the entrance to the Bedfont Lakes site
