Yep! There are always a few things we get asked here at No.42, and to make your life a little easier, we've popped them into an FAQ. Hit the button to - hopefully - answer your question. For anything else, drop us a line or enquiry below.
ARRIVING BY TRAIN
We're serviced by Southeastern into Margate’s train station, only a 10-ish minute, sea front walk away. You’ll skirt the beach and pass Dreamland, so you’ll get a very Margate experience before you even get here. You can book your ticket here.
ARRIVING BY CAR
As you hit Margate from the A28, the main road from London, and make your way to us, you’ll be met by the stunning main sands, the icon that is Dreamland and Turner Contemporary. We’re in one of the Victorian beachfront buildings, and the hotel entrance is on our High Street side.
PARKING
We have ten private parking spaces on New Street, just opposite the hotel entrance on the High Street, priced at £20 per car per night, which must be booked before arrival.
Postcode CT9 1EG will take you straight to our car park. If you haven’t booked, there’s also a public car park just a 5-minute walk away called Market Street Car Park.
Arriving by Southeastern train? To leave you free to dive right into your Margate time, we’ll meet you off your train on our luggage bike, take your bags, and point you in the direction of whatever you’d like to do first.
We’re a growing team, and we’re always interested in meeting great people to join us either within one of our hotels or at group level. Get in touch if you like the sound of us and tell us what you’d like to get involved with.
