Pickup in Ensbury Park

For the Gatwick run: Ensbury Park sits on Columbia Road and the streets off it, between Winton and Kinson in BH10. It is a straightforward residential pickup: semi-detached houses, drives, and a direct line onto the A347. People often type “North Bournemouth” and mean this, Moordown or Northbourne; those are three different pins. For London airports we go north to the A338 or west toward the A348 depending on the traffic on Castle Lane. There is no tourist one-way here, which is the whole point of the page — an Ensbury Park Heathrow job is a suburban start, not a seafront one.
