TO FIND US

BTYC sails at the Welsh Harp, only 6 miles from Marble Arch, just by the junction of the M1 and North Circular roads.

We sail on 70 acres of water set in open parkland; this is an important nature reserve.

Access is from the top end of Birchen Grove, through the car park. There is plenty of free car-parking space in the car park and nearby roads.

There is a combination lock on the gate from the car park so please arrange with someone in advance to let you in (click on Contact us)

Public Transport
Wembley Park and Neasdon (Jubilee Line) and Hendon Station (Thameslink) are all within about 15-20 minutes walk.
Buses: 83, 182, 245, 297 and 302.

Directions to the Welsh Harp by car
BTYC is situated on a reservoir that lies set back from the North Circular Road half a mile west of the junction with the A5 at Staples Corner.

Approaching along the A406 westbound from Staples Corner, look for the Neasden turnoff. There is a green traffic sign (shortly followed by a brown one) showing two turnoffs close together. Take the second one, signposted Kingsbury, which goes down sharply round to the left to join the road which crosses underneath the North Circular, called Neasden Lane.

Follow this along a few hundred yards up a slight hill, through 2 sets of traffic lights and turn right at the next traffic lights when you've passed Macdonalds and a self storage depot, opposite Killarney Motors. The road is a cul-de-sac, called Birchen Grove and there are signs to Greenhouse Nursery.

Go to the end, don’t go through the gates into the Nursery, but follow the road sharply to the right, through the width restriction. Turn into the car park on the right, between the barrier - the gap is wider than it looks! The sailing area is accessed through the locked gate at the bottom. You’ll see BTYC Sailsports situated on the dam, overlooking the water.

If you are coming eastbound from the Hanger Lane direction, follow the A406 until you've passed IKEA and gone through some sharp bends. Again, there is a slip road down onto Neasden Lane, signposted Wembley/Kingsbury. Then follow the directions as above.
