The surgery is located in Portland Road on the junction with School Road. There are several travel options:
Reaching us by foot
For those that are able, walking is a healthy way to visit the surgery. According to research, it strenghthens the heart, lowers the risk of diseases such as diabetes, can cause weight loss and lowers the risk or dementia and depression. The pavements locally are well maintained and there is a pedestrian crossing, recently upgraded, over Portland Road located outside of the West Hove School.

Reaching us by bicycle
Again a healthy way to travel. Cycling can help with weight loss, reduce stress and improve fitness while being a low impact sport easier on the bodies joints than some other forms of exercise. There are several cycle racks outside of the surgery for you to be able to safely lock your bicycle. Cycle training is provided to school children free of charge by the local authority, details of which can be found at
