The South London Botanical Institute is situated at the Tulse Hill end of Norwood Road, close to Tulse Hill station and to the junction with the A205 South Circular road.

We recommend travelling to us using one of the numerous public transport options – see below. We are in Transport for London’s Zone 3.

By train
The nearest station is Tulse Hill, 5 minutes’ walk away. It is served by the Thameslink (direct trains from Kings Cross St Pancras, Elephant & Castle, Wimbledon and Sutton) and by Southern trains (direct trains from London Bridge, Peckham Rye etc). On arrival at Tulse Hill, walk out of the station, down the hill and right into Norwood Road. Walk along Norwood Road, cross over at the traffic lights, walk past the second hand car dealer on your right and the Botanical Institute is just along on the right.

The Institute is also only 15 minutes’ walk from Herne Hill station (for trains to Victoria and the South East) and from West Norwood station (for trains to Clapham Junction and Crystal Palace).

By bus
Many buses pass directly by the Institute:

68 Euston – West Norwood, via Waterloo
196 Brixton – Norwood Junction
322 Clapham Common/Clapham North/Brixton – Crystal Palace
468 South Croydon – Elephant and Castle
The following buses also stop at Tulse Hill (a short walk from the Institute):

By tube
Our closest tube stations are Brixton, Clapham South and Clapham Common, but they’re a bit of a walk away – you might want to get a bus as above.
