Retirement home for get-away drivers
One for the Road is a safe house for retired get-away drivers who’ve hung up their driving gloves. Our residents have swapped Fury Road for a back road and exchanged the fast lane for a country lane. Opened in 1965, One for the Road has 20 bedrooms, a games room, and a lounge where residents socialise and reminisce about jobs they pulled. We’re fully funded by donations from members of the public, not from the proceeds of any robbery.
