Directions on how to get to us
We'll start with public transport.
Take bus number 68 from the Railway Station, or bus 79 from Herttoniemi metro station, and get off at the stop immediately after the "Alepa" shop in Viikki. Get off the bus and walk - don't turn left or right, just get off the bus and walk forwards - until you come to The Brook; it's about 200 metres from the road.
From the other direction, take bus 79 from Malmi, get off at the Kupla (the bubble), cross the road, and keep walking until you come to The Brook - it should be that simple.
The other alternative of course, is to use the ytv/hkl/vr journey planner. Simply type in the address where you are beginning your journey, the destination address as Ilmolanraitti 11, your ARRIVAL time (e.g. 10:00 a.m. for a Saturday or Sunday 11:00 a.m. start) and away you go. Couldn't be simpler (!)
Driving is another matter, and it obviously depends which direction you are coming from, but working on the assumption that most people are coming from the North / North West / West, I have come up with the following directions which may well be a little longer than taking an "as the crow flies" approach, but are the most straightforward to follow (and write!) -
From RING III:
Taking the "Ring III EAST" road, stay on Ring III until it becomes Itavayla stay on It until you pass Itakeskus shopping centre. As you pass Itakeskus, move to the inside (right hand) lane, and take the Viikki slip road off to the right - about 400m past Itakeskus. Stay on this road - Viikintie - through one set of lights, down the hill, across a set of tram tracks, through another set of lights, and turn right at the first set of lights which has a right filter lane - you will have passed The Brook on your right, about 200m before these lights. You are now on Tilanhoitajankaari; Drive approximately 400m, past the Alepa on your right and the Kupla on your left, and the entrance to The Brook is on your right - it should be signposted on match days.

From RING I:
Taking the "Ring I EAST" or "Itakeskus" road, stay on Ring I until you reach Itakeskus shopping centre. Turn right at the SECOND set of lights at Itakeskus, and you are on Itavayla eading into Helsinki. Once on Itavayla as you pass Itakeskus, move to the inside (right hand) lane, and take the Viikki slip road off to the right - about 400m past Itakeskus.
