Getting there
Gloucester House is on Dukes Green Avenue in Feltham (TW14 0LR), close to Feltham station (South Western Railway, ~35 minutes from Ealing Broadway via Clapham Junction) and served by local buses; public parking is available nearby. There is step-free access and interview rooms on the ground floor. Plan to arrive well before your listed time — security takes longer than most people expect on a first visit.
