Getting There
By Train: Get a taxi from the train station to the zoo (it takes 10-15 mins and costs about £6), and ask the taxi driver to drop you at the staff/pedestrian/back entrance to the zoo (off Caughall Road). Tell the person at the gate that you are going to a meeting in Oakfield House, and ask for directions. The venue is just a couple of minutes walk from the back entrance of the zoo.
