Hello everyone, I'm planning a research trip to London in April with four other people. I was wondering if some kind soul could help me with me travel plans. While in London I would like to visit the East Sussex Record Office, Lewes. How would I get to Lewes from London - what Tube station to get what train? Is the ESRO close to the train station? Also, the West Sussex Record Office in Chichester - is this possible from London? Also, I would like to visit my ancestors' villages/towns of Ardingly, West Hoathly, East Grinstead and surrounding areas - are there trains to these places? East Grinstead probably as it is larger but I'm not sure of Ardingly. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks. Kathy Baker, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada

Hi Kathy I can help with the West Sussex Record Office: You can get a train direct from London Victoria station to Chichester. http://www.nationalrail.co.uk/index.htm The Chichester record office is a very pleasant 10-15 minutes walk from the station. Take a look at the link below to the record office and look at the 'about us' section, this links to directions and map. http://www.westsussex.gov.uk/ccm/navigation/libraries-and-archives/record-office/ I'm sure that people living near to your other areas of interest will be posting advice to help with your other queries. Best wishes Ros - in sunny (at the moment!) Chichester
