There are plenty of spaces opposite and next to the Jaguar showroom. |
| |
| From the M4 |
| |
| Leave the M4 at junction 11, and follow the signs for Basingstoke along the A33. |
| |
 |
| |
| After 14 miles or so, you'll come to the 'Chineham Wave' roundabout, as shown above. Follow the signs for the M3/Town centre along the short dual carriageway. At the next roundabout take the 2nd exit towards the ring road. |
| |
 |
| |
| Keep left as you join the ring road, and take the immediate first left, signposted Basingstoke Town Centre (shown above). You'll now be on the dual carriageway towards the Eastrop roundabout and the Barclays building. Follow the M3 instructions from this point (above). |
