Where is Massey Street Children's Hospital Main Entrance located in Lagos: Your Guide to Finding It Easily in 2026

Getting to Massey Street Children's Hospital

Reaching Massey Street Children's Hospital involves getting to Lagos Island first, specifically the Broad Street/CMS/Marina area, and then making your way to Massey Street.

From the Mainland (Ikeja, Oshodi, Yaba, Surulere, etc.)

Most travelers from the mainland will aim for the CMS Bus Stop or Marina on Lagos Island. These are major transport hubs where you can easily get down and find your way to Broad Street.

1. By BRT Bus:

   • If you are coming from places like Ikorodu, Oshodi, or Abule Egba, you can take a BRT bus directly to CMS Bus Stop. This is usually the most comfortable and structured bus service.
   • Once you drop at CMS, you are very close to Broad Street. You can then take a short walk or a Keke Marwa (tricycle) to Massey Street.

2. By Danfo (Yellow Bus):

   • From almost any part of Lagos mainland (e.g., Ikeja, Oshodi, Yaba, Ojota, Maryland), you can find a yellow bus (Danfo) heading to "CMS," "Marina," or "Broad Street."
   • Tell the conductor you are going to "CMS" or "Broad Street."
   • Once you drop at CMS or anywhere along Broad Street, you can ask for directions to Massey Street. It's a well-known landmark.

From Lekki, Ajah, and Victoria Island

Travelers from the Lekki-Epe axis or Victoria Island also typically head towards CMS or Marina.

1. By Bus/Coaster:

   • You can find public buses or coaster buses going directly to CMS or Marina from various bus stops in Lekki, Ajah, or Victoria Island.
   • The journey will take you over the Falomo Bridge and then towards Tafawa Balewa Square (TBS) before reaching CMS.

2. By Taxi/Ride-Hailing (Uber, Bolt):

   • This is the most direct and convenient option. Simply input "Massey Street Children's Hospital" as your destination. The driver will take you directly to the main entrance. This saves you the stress of navigating public transport and walking.

The Final Stretch to Massey Street

Once you are at CMS Bus Stop or anywhere on Broad Street:

• **Walking**: If you drop at CMS, Massey Street is about a 10-15 minute walk. Walk along Broad Street towards the direction of Tinubu Square/Lagos Central Mosque. You will see the turn-off for Massey Street.
• **Keke Marwa (Tricycle)**: You can easily find Keke Marwa at CMS or along Broad Street. Tell the driver "Massey Hospital" or "Massey Street." It's a very short ride, usually just a few minutes.
• **Taxi**: Short taxi rides are also available if you prefer not to walk or take a Keke.
