If travelling from the North (M1 / A1), take the M25 clockwise to the Dartford tunnel / Queen Elizabeth Bridge and follow signs for the M2 as the below under directions travelling from London.If travelling from the West, take the M25 anti clockwise and take the M26 which filters into the left hand lane off the M25 - just follow the signs. The M26 merges into the M20. Follow the M20 until junction 7 and turn off the motorway onto the A249 which will be signed to Canterbury, Margate, & Ramsgate. You will come to a large roundabout at the end of the A249 where you take the first exit signed for the M2 and Canterbury (junction 7). Then follow the rest of the directions as below under travelling from London.If travelling from London take the most practical roads to get to the M2 motorway and Margate is literally straight on down the M2 which turns into the A299.The A299 ends at a round about where you need to take the second exit which is the A28. This is a short length of dual carriageway which takes you to the Village of Birchington where you will come to a mini roundabout. Take the second exit which is effectively turning right and follow the signs to Margate (A28 still - also known as the Canterbury Way). You will pass through the small town of Westgate and after approx ten mins you will in Margate. If travelling by train from London there are direct trains to Margate. The fastest service is the High Speed train from St Pancras if coming from North or West London or pick the high speed train up from Stratford International if coming from East London (travel time is approximately 1 hour and fifteen minutes and the trains go direct to Margate albeit some of the trains split at Ashford so make sure you are in the correct part of the train). Alternatively you can take normal network trains from Victoria, Cannon Street, and London Bridge. These trains are a bit cheaper than the High Speed train but take longer at around 1 and three quarter hours but all go direct to Margate. For those travelling from the Continent, the port of Dover is only a short distance down the coast and takes approximately 45 minutes drive.
