Unfortunatley during the site redevelopment parking at the rear of Rembrandt House in the car park in Hagden Lane is suspended.

There is parking available opposite Rembrandt House where the Resident's only bays can be used at certain times and on the pay and display in Whippendell Road.

Please check the parking notices though because there are restrictions on 'Match Days' at Vicarage Road - Watford's Football & Rugby Ground.

You can also park in King Georges Avenue - off Whippendell Road & adjacent to Rembrandt House.

 

Watford Metropolitan Line station situated in Cassiobury Park Avenue, is 8 minutes walk from the Dojo (see map above)

Buses Stop right outside Rembrandt House: Arriva 320 & 321 click here for Arriva Timetable

Local buses 41, 385, R4 & W1 click here for Intalink

If you are using a 'Sat Nav' then type in No 409 Whippendell Road as we understand that Rembrandt House does not 'Flag up' (No 409 is directly opposite).

 

After practice it's not unknown for us to socialise at the pub, fondly refered to as the second Dojo.
