Wexham Park Hospital – On Foot or by Bicycle
Wexham Park Hospital is situated approximately 35 minutes walk or around 10 minutes by bicycle from Slough Town Centre and Slough Bus/Railway Stations. The Trust has limited parking and vehicle congestion is high at peak times, particularly between 10:30am – 12:30pm and 2:00pm - 4:00pm on weekdays. We would encourage anyone who is able, to walk or cycle to our main site.
Bicycle parking racks for visitors are available next to the main entrance, which is accessed via Gate 2 on Wexham Street, and outside the Day Surgery and Mental Health Unit entrance, which is accessed via Gate 4 (maternity).
