Before You Go
Opening Times: Coombe Conduit is temporarily closed. We are working to get it open as soon as we can. Sorry for any inconvenience
Access: Unfortunately the site is not accessible for wheelchair users as there are steps into the grounds and then down into the internal chambers of the conduit. The grounds are sloping and uneven, and there are trip and slip hazards inside the conduit.
How to Find it: The entrance to the conduit is in Coombe Lane West, Kingston upon Thames KT2 7HE and is close to the west of the corner with Lord Chancellor Walk.
Parking: There is no car park at the conduit but there is some unrestricted on-street parking on Lord Chancellor Walk.
Facilities: There are no facilities on site. The nearest public toilets are at Norbiton railway station.
