How to find Haileybury College
 Haileybury is between Hertford and Hoddesdon on the B1197 London Road, just south of Hertford Heath. Enter via the White Gate entrance in Hailey Lane (62 on the right on the map) (Do not use the main entrance) drive up to the building, with the domed tower. There is plenty of parking along the terrace, close to the building.
The HNHS Autumn meeting will be held in the Attlee Room (15 on the map), which is to the right of the central columns and the main dome of the Chapel (see photo). There is level access to both the meeting room and toilets.
