Travel & Parking

If you live in Shepperton, we advise you to walk to the High Street! Buses will be on diversion, roads will be busy and parking will be at a premium. The closest available public parking is at Manor Park (£) at the Memorial end of the High Street. Alternatively, take the train, as the station is within a few steps of Big Tree Night.

---

Buses on Diversion

The closure of Shepperton High Street will affect two services: 555 and 557 - both will divert up/down Green Lane or Russell Road up to Marshall's Roundabout. The 555 stops on Russell Road will be missed but will stop at Shepperton Station Approach.

Please contact Hallmark Buses for more information about times and stops.

We apologise for the inconvenience this may cause local travellers.
