Pick up the A27 by the marshland as you near Portsmouth.

Follow this road for about 1.5km, cemetary on left by sharp double bend, pass more shops until the road becomes Albert Road.

When you approach crossroads with traffic lights, look to the right & you’ll see The Wedgewood Rooms (where the Gong Show is held) and large chemist! Follow the road down, as you pass the Kings Theatre on your left the road will veer to the right. At the large junction at the bottom you will see The Fat Fox directly on your right.

If you reach the seafront at some stage, you’ve gone too far south – Albert Road runs parallel to the seafront.
