How do you find The Last Viceroy?

The Last Viceroy, a curry house in the centre of Bourne End, just east of Marlow.

Bourne End is very easy to find from the A404 - a dual carriageway which runs from J4 M40 down to J8/9 M4. It is accessible to members travelling from the M4/M40/M25 motorway box - from the south and west via the M4 and M40, from the north of the Home Counties via the M40 and from the north and east via the M1 and M11 via the M25.


Bourne End is at the middle of the top left quadrant of this map - just east of the A404 and south of J4 M40. This map shows the M4/M40/M25 motorway box with the A404, a dual carriageway link road (marked in green) on the western side which runs from J8/9 M4 up to J4 M40, that passes close to Marlow on the lefthand edge of the map above.


You leave the A404 at an interchange signposted for Marlow and Bourne End. Approaching this interchange from the north or south, then your directions are:

Coming from the North from J4 M40, you simply come off the dual carriageway at the foot of a long downhill dual carriageway from J4 M40, and then turn left at that interchange for Little Marlow and Bourne End.
OR
Coming from the South from J8/9 M4, then you come off the dual carriageway just as you see a Volvo office building on your lefthand side and before going up the long hill beyond the interchange. You turn right at the interchange and head off for Little Marlow and Bourne End.


The Last Viceroy is at 74 The Parade which is almost in the centre of Bourne End - a village by the Thames. It is marked with a red ring on the map above.

The Last Viceroy has parking space in a service road in front of the restaurant.


The centre of Bourne End - the restaurant is to the right of this photo and ahead is the route you come in on from the A404 dual carriageway at the Marlow & Bourne End junction. The entrance to the small service road in front of the restaurant is just left of the parked car on the right of the photo. Immediately after the restaurant is a Total petrol station on the lefthand side, so if you reach that then you will know you have gone too far!

Advance warning - disruption expected on the M25
For members coming to the V8 Curry Night from Kent, Surrey or Sussex and are likely to use the western side of the London's M25 orbital motorway, you need to note a news item from Brian Moyse.
Brian Moyse used to commute from Surrey to near Hammersmith in West London every day and reports serious congestion seems likely as the M25 is due to be dug up between Junctions 12 & 15 (on the western side near London Heathrow Terminal 5) from the 5th January 2004. Fortunately Brian has been relocated to the Camberley office of his organisation just in time to avoid the commute and the M25 chaos!
Brian mentions a useful webpage on the Highways Agency's website.
