Here's some tips and reminders by Longboard Timmy:

The Redbridge Cycle centre's address is:

Redbridge Cycling CentreForest Road, Hainault, Ilford, IG6 3HP 

Public transport

The bit of the central line you're 
looking for. Stratford has been
 left in for reference

1. Planned Underground works  - do check these!
2. Your best bet is NOT walking from Fairlop station (map route here, cheers google), it's actually from Hainault station, with a bus connection (assuming you're coming from central london, if not see 4)
3. If you're already using an oyster card for your travel, the bus is a good option. If not it's still a good option. Google will help you plan a journey and the TFL Buses website will let you know how much it'll be, and if it's on time
4. If you're coming in from Southend or Essex in general, consider that there's buses from Romford station that will get you to the centre.

Driving

Driving to the centre is pretty simple, there's plenty of parking (but it's a good idea to keep valuables hidden or with you). Now google also has a relatively accurate traffic info system (see here) which will also work in google maps on your phones. 

Remember! If you have an old van/camper (pre year 2002 reg I think), in which case you'll want to look at Low Emission Zone homepage and the map is HERE! The low emission zone has to be skirted around to avoid being fined. Luckily, the centre is on the edge of the zone, and with a bit of planning you can easily avoid any potential fines.

The nearest Tube lines to Hog Hill are Hainault/ Fairlop stations. These are about a mile from the race site. They are on the Central Line, right-hand-side of the loopy section (Red line). Please see above for bus details from Hainault.

Warning! - If you are thinking about hiring a car, or staying in Central London, then please be aware that there will be Road Closures on 3rd and 4th of August for a Road Cycling race.

As part of the one-year-on celebrations, the centre of this will be the Olympic Park (Stratford) area. The closures might hinder those travelling in by car from the Central London/ Surrey directions.

Please take a look at the attached link so that you can plan your approach to Hog Hill without hindrance. We will put up more details when they are released by TFL.
