Directions

The Armitage Centre is on Moseley Road in Fallowfield, near the Owens Park student hall of residence (the tower block is visible for some miles).

By car: with Satnav use the postcode M14 6ZT. There is plenty of car parking on site. If you do not have sat nav and are unsure which route to use, the Armitage Centre is well signposted from a number of directions. Click on this link for Multimap

By train the nearest stations are Mauldeth Road (on the Airport line) and Levenshulme (between Stockport and Piccadilly) which are both about 20 minutes walk away. If arriving in the City Centre then it may be easier to walk (or take a tram) to Piccadilly Gardens and then catch a bus, as below.

By bus: Wilmslow Road is one of the busiest bus routes in the country, with numbers 41, 42, 43, 44, 46, 48, 140, 142, 143 all stopping at Owens Park, a 5 minute walk away. From the City Centre use Piccadilly Gardens bus stands G, H or J. From Oxford Road Station walk down the station ramp and cross Oxford Road to a Southbound bus stop.
