Location

The station is located on a forecourt off the south side of Cassiobury Park Avenue (east/west), to the west of the station approach road (southwest)

Entrances and Exits

The station has a single exit, via double doors, onto a forecourt which consists of a pavement bordering a triangular car park. Cassiobury Park Avenue, running east/west, forms the north side and the station approach road runs southwest, towards Rickmansworth Road. The station building occupies the southwest side of the forecourt.

The pavement runs across the station building and along the southeast side of the car park, parallel to the approach road.

The approach road slopes down, as you leave Cassiobury Park Avenue and pass the southeast side of the car park. There are car parking bays off the opposite (southeast side) of the approach road. Nine steps, going up northwest, lead from the approach road, onto the forecourt, in front of the door to the taxi office, at the southeast end of the station building.
