Need help?AccommodationEastbourne is a seaside resort and has a wide variety of accommodation catering for a tourist population. The Wig Academy can help guide you in finding suitable accommodation for the duration of your course in Eastbourne and can supply you with a list of local B&Bs and small hotels on receipt of your confirmed booking. We will be happy to vet up to three of your choice and submit our findings to you. However, we cannot accept any responsibility for your stay in the chosen accommodation. www.visiteastbourne.com TravelBy RailTrains leave Victoria Station (London) to Eastbourne frequently every half hour at 21 & 51 minutes past the hour. Alternatively, you may join the train at Clapham Junction and East Croydon. The journey takes approximately 90 minutes. If travelling from the North you can avoid passing through London but will have to change at London Gatwick International Airport. If travelling from Europe the Eurostar links with Eastbourne services at Ashford International. By RoadThe main road from London is the A22 but a good alternative route is the M23/A23 from the M25 and then onto the A27 into Eastbourne. The recently built Polegate bypass now gives a quick and easier route into the town centre. By AirLondon Gatwick International Airport is less than one hour away by road or rail from Eastbourne. The mainline train from London Victoria to Eastbourne stops at Gatwick Airport.
