Getting there
Gloucester House is on Dukes Green Avenue in Feltham (TW14 0LR), a short walk from Feltham station (South Western Railway, direct from Hounslow and Twickenham via the loop line, or from Waterloo). Buses 90, 117, 235, 285, 490, 635, H25 and H26 serve Feltham; public parking is available nearby. There is step-free access and interview rooms on the ground floor. Plan to arrive well before your listed time — security takes longer than most people expect on a first visit.
