Travelling from Canterbury to our Handforth clinic in Cheshire is very manageable with a little planning. By rail, the most straightforward route is via London St Pancras or London Victoria into London, then a connecting service northward to Manchester Piccadilly, followed by a short local train to Handforth station — just a five-minute walk from our clinic — making the total journey roughly four to five hours depending on connections. If you prefer to drive, the M20 feeds onto the M25, then head north on the M6 before taking the M56 towards Wilmslow, with the full drive typically around four to four and a half hours; free on-site parking is available when you arrive. A handy tip for those coming from the Kent direction: book your rail tickets in advance through Trainline or Avanti for the best fares on that longer cross-country leg. On the day itself, your child simply makes the journey once — once the assessment is complete, the full written report is sent electronically directly to their GP and school.
