The Centre is near the junction of the A5 with the A509, just west of Central Milton Keynes. However, because this junction is grade separated, vehicular access is from Dansteed Way (H4). Pedestrian/cycle access from Milton Keynes Central railway station is via a redway from Elder Gate beside the Quadrant:MK (Network Rail national centre)
