Our Lansdowne Campus can be easily reached via the A338 (also known as the Wessex Way), the main road into (and through) Bournemouth when travelling from destinations north and east of us.

To reach Lansdowne from the A338, leave at the junction marked ‘Travel Interchange’ onto St Paul’s Road; the train station is on the left here. When you reach Station Roundabout:

• Take the fourth exit (coming back in the opposite direction) to reach the Bournemouth Gateway Building and exit onto Oxford Road on the left, then take the first right onto St Paul’s Lane
• Take the third exit to reach Holdenhurst Road, where the Executive Business Centre and Old Fire Station are based; Studland House is a left-turn at the subsequent roundabout onto Christchurch Road

If you’re travelling from the west, follow the directions to Talbot Campus, but proceed past the university on the A3049 (this becomes Talbot Avenue). Next, continue straight at the roundabout (second exit) onto Wimborne Road (A347), then proceed straight at the crossroad junction onto Lansdowne Road (B3064). At the first roundabout, take the first exit – Oxford Road – for the Bournemouth Gateway Building.
