Entry into Clacket Lane Services

[DaveT]

Does anyone know if I can get into Clacket Lane services from Clacket Lane (from Biggin Hill direction) rather than from the M25? Good if I can as it means I can have more sleep.

I think you can.

edit That didn't work!, but if you enter clacket lane services and zoom in it looks ok!

Thanks Kevin. I did see that on google maps. I agree it looks like you can but I'm wondering if entry/exit is blocked to stop people using it to change direction on m25.

If you go to google maps, use streetview to go down clacket lane...

when you get to the turning for the services there is a barrier across the entrance, but whether it is always down or not would be your gamble....

Thanks Al that's useful. Unfortunately I can't get streetview to work cos it needs Adobe Flash Player Verson 10 and whenever I try to download it IE falls over. But now you've told me there are barriers across (which doesn't surprise me) I think it's too much of a gamble, so I think I'll have to go the long way round.

I have heard that these barriers have a combination lock for the emergency services to open 999 not sure if my leg was being pulled though

I suppose you can head down Clacket lane and if you can't access the services (which it would seem you can't after all) carry on down to the A25 and loop back to Jcn6.

As far as I am aware there is no public access through there. Sorry! (The long way doesn't take long if you put you foot down)
