An alternative is to take the Park & Ride to Madejski Stadium; there are some steps that lead from the Park & Ride car park to Green Park, exiting at Brook Drive. Follow Brook Drive to the roundabout and turn left on South Oak Way. Lime Square is on the left. Walk across Lime Square and ConnectTVT/GROW@Green Park is through the reception doors next to Carson & Co.
