Visit by car?

Please be aware that the centre of Den Haag has limited access for cars, many roads are closed. Many roads are one way traffic. The city centre of Den Haag is 100% car-free. At this moment I can’t give a good road instruction since the situation changes every week. Please try to find information on the website of the city to get the latest news about visiting Den Haag by car (could be in Dutch language only). One thing that does work is to set your car`s navigation to the streets `Vailliantlaan` first and when you are there to ‘Hoge Zand’.
Trial of permit holder parking
The municipality started a trial of permit holder parking on 1 May 2023. This is in a number of streets in Scheveningen and in the Old Town. Parking in our street Hoge Zand will cost you €50 no matter how much long or short you park your car. But you can from now on park at the S8RL’s expense, as we fortunately have a visitor’s permit. Collecting or dropping off films can only be done on Fridays between 4pm and 5pm. Because I am too often interrupted in my work and I don’t want that anymore. Please email the S8RL with the date you want to come so we can add you to the visitors’ list. Provide your license plate number, and then it will be free parking for you. Here is a map of where the visitor permit is valid. You are responsible for making sure you are in the permit area.

Public transport?
Start by travelling to Den Haag Central Station. You could walk to the lab which takes about 15 minutes. But you can also take a tram. There are a few lines available, – 2 (green), 3 (purple), 4 (orange) or number 6 (blue). Please get out at tram stop called ‘Brouwersgracht’. That’s the first stop once you come out of the tram tunnel.
A second option is to travel to Den Haag HS station and walk about 10-15 minutes.
You are welcome in the lab for a cup of Nespresso or tea, but on appointment only. You can send an email to add yourself to the Friday visitor list. Every Friday between 16.00 and 17.00 pm guests are welcome to talk about your project, camera or film.
