To see our last performance this SPRING, Liverpool street station has trains every 15 minutes to Ilford which are a 15 minute journey (I recommend the 6.42pm train). The KENNETH MOORE THEATRE is around 5 - 10 minutes walk from Ilford Station and the show starts at 7.30pm.

The Kenneth Moore Theatre is out the station and SOUTH across STATION ROAD. From the RAC map it looks like you take your next LEFT onto a one way road (you will be walking AGAINST traffic) which becomes the HIGH STREET (probably pedestrianized) after about 75 meters. Carry on down the High Street another 150 meters or so and turn RIGHT onto OAKFIELD ROAD. After 50 meters turn LEFT onto KENNETH MOORE ROAD. The theatre appears to be on your RIGHT after 50 meters and a sharp bend in the road.

Map attached.
