St James’s will have access to all Wychcroft’s public premises (including the chapel) and residential accommodation. There are 23 bedrooms, including a wheelchair-accessible one. There is a stairlift.
Redhill is the nearest railway station to Wychcroft, with regular services from London Bridge and Victoria. RoadRunners provide bookable taxis from Redhill station.
