Buses

The 380 and 486 drop you very close.

380 from Lewisham / Blackheath to Woolwich / Thamesmead

If coming from Lewisham / Blackheath you have two options. (1) Alight at Victoria Way (Stop ID: 50427), continue walking in the same direction, go past Inverine Road then turn left into Priolo Road*, then left into Swallowfield Road and the church centre is on your right, at the corner where Swallowfield Road meets Sundorne Road.

*note the bus stop on the opposite side of the road (Stop ID: 73096) as it will take you home again.

Option (2) is to continue the 380 journey alighting at the 2nd stop on Wellington Gardens (it’s called “Sundorne Road, Stop K” (Stop ID: 55907)). Continue walking in the same direction, turn left and then left again into Sundorne Road** (Totty Pharmacy is now on your right). Walk down until the end and the church centre is on your left. This option is the best one for people who need to pick up a snack, e.g. the Sainsbury’s opposite Charlton railway station.

**You’ll go past Priolo Road, there’s a bus stop (Sundorne Road (Stop U), Stop ID: 77815) just inside the road that will take you home again.
