Directions

If you are looking for therapy or counselling services at The Stephenson Centre (also known as The Captains House), it is located at 81 Grimwade Street, Ipswich IP4 1LN, just a short walk from the town centre and the beautiful Ipswich Waterfront.

By Car

The Stephenson Centre is easy to reach from the A14 and A12, with good connections from across Suffolk, including Woodbridge, Hadleigh, and Felixstowe.

Please note that we don’t have parking on-site. However, there are several public car parks nearby, all within a short walk:

  • Fore Street Car Park (IP4 1JZ) – Just around the corner

  • Smart Street Car Park (IP4 1BP) – A convenient short-stay option

  • RCP Duke Orwell Quay (IP3 0BT) – Ideal if you’re coming from the Waterfront

  • NCP Tacket Street (IP4 1AU) – About a 5-minute walk away

Sat Nav Tip: Use postcode IP4 1LN. We’re the large Grade II listed building on the corner of Grimwade Street and Star Lane.

By Bus

Ipswich is well served by local bus routes from across the area, and several stops are close to the centre:

  • Grimwade Street (by Suffolk New College) – Right outside

  • Fore Street / St Helens Street – Around a 2-minute walk

  • Old Cattle Market Bus Station – About a 10-minute walk through the town centre

Popular services include Ipswich Buses routes 1, 2, 3, 4, and 23, as well as the Park and Ride Route 800.

  4. Follow Star Lane past the Waterfront
