The crucial thing to remember is that you can only access the museum via Twinwood Road, which in turn can only be accessed from a roundabout on Milton Road in the village of Clapham. 

Please study a traditional map before setting off, and do not blindly trust your sat nav! The only truly reliable way to get your Sat Nav behaving nicely is to input these
