The nearest National Rail stations are Potters Bar (Darkes Lane, Potters Bar, EN6 1AJ) and Brookmans Park (Station Road, Hatfield, AL9 7SS). The church is approximately 3 miles away from each station but you will need to take a taxi from either station. Potters Bar offers more options for local taxis, so you are advised to use this station instead of Brookmans Park.
