Find Us By Car:
It's best to drive. Swallows Business Park is on the A22 which connects directly to South London (Croydon). Take Junction 6 off the M25, drive straight and you'll land on our doorstep in less than an hour! Your Satnav will find us.
If you're traveling from the South then we are 20 mins north of Eastbourne and 40 mins from Brighton and Hastings. We are located close to Hailsham Town.
Public Transport Option 1 (quicker/easier):
From London/Brighton, get a train to Berwick and then a 7 minute taxi ride to Loco.
Public Transport Option 2 (cheaper):
From London/Brighton, get a train to Polegate and then the number 54 bus towards Uckfield (the bus stop is on Polegate high street on the opposite side of the street to the station, you have to walk 1 minute North up the high street from the station). Get off the bus at Hackhurst Lane, we're a short walk around the corner.
Public Transport Option 3 (even cheaper):
From Churchill Square, Brighton (Stop J) or Waitrose Lewes the number 28 bus runs every 30 minutes. Make sure it is a bus running all the way to Hailsham (it will say Hailsham on the front). Get off at the stop called "Business Park" (there is also a stop called "business centre" but this is not the stop you need). Our shop is a two minute walk away from this stop. You'll see a big warehouse called Vacgen on the left. The 28 bus costs a maximum of £2 each way and takes 1 hour from Brighton and 20 minutes from Lewes. You can pay by card/contactless and it has USB ports for phone charging.

In 2004 we opened our high street store on Station Parade in Eastbourne. In 2011 we moved 5 doors up the road to a larger premises. In November 2017 we moved out of town, our first warehouse premises with walk-in shop attached. Today we operate out of a 6500sq ft warehouse, office, studio and shop located amongst the fields of the Sussex countryside just 1 hour south of London and a short drive to Eastbourne and Brighton.
We hold the UK's largest range of skates as well as the world's most skate-dedicated retail premises.
While we do the majority of our business through our website, we're still committed to a good old fashioned walk-in skate shop experience. Our shop floor was designed from scratch and gives you the opportunity to touch, feel and try the products we sell.
