A Free bus leaves the RHH at the bus turn round every
30 minutes on the hour and half hour. It enters the
NGH site from Barnsley Rd and the drop off point is at
The Clock Tower. Sam Fox House is visible from the
bus stop further along the road it is a new building and
reception is on the ground floor opposite the entrance.
Look for the Clinical Skills Centre but we should have a
PhD ICE label up on the door.
Bus Stop H1
Car parking is about £2.50 for 4 hours (no change
given I think)
