London SE20 8DS
UK

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?)
