The venue is in South London and can be reached from central London by bus, national rail or London Overground train (see below).
There is on-street parking on Thicket Road.
Disabled parking is available on site (gates close at 6pm but the venue will have a key).
What to wear
Whatever you fancy wearing on the day - as long as it allows you to dance!
We may be out on the (covered) terrace for some of the proceedings, so given it’ll be mid-October, maybe come prepared for that.
Getting there
Travellers from Switzerland and the EU, remember: You will now need a passport to enter the UK, and ID card will no longer be accepted! (Why?)
