TRAVELLING FROM KINGSTON
Beginner salsa classes accessible from Kingston
Our classes take place at Sutton Baptist Church in central Sutton. The venue is around seven to nine miles from central Kingston, with a direct bus connecting the two town centres.
By bus
The 213 provides a direct connection from Kingston through New Malden, Worcester Park and Cheam towards central Sutton. Allow approximately 40–60 minutes, depending on traffic and your stop.
By car
Driving from central Kingston to Sutton commonly takes around 20–35 minutes. Evening traffic through New Malden, Worcester Park or Cheam can increase the journey time.
By train
Rail journeys from Kingston to Sutton normally require a change at Wimbledon. Faster connections can take around 30–45 minutes, but the direct 213 bus may be simpler.
