TRAVEL TO THE EVENT

The festival site is located in Brockwell Park. 

The address is – Brockwell Park, Norwood Road, London, SE24 0NG

We actively deter visitors from driving to the event, there is no available parking in or around the areas. Lambeth and Southwark parking enforcement will be working all weekend, and vehicles which are parked illegally will receive enforcement action or be towed. There are multiple road closures in place to help facilitate the event, so normally free parking bays will not be available.

We advise all visitors to choose greener travel options, such as public transport and arriving by bike or foot. We have a bike park outside the festival site for anyone wishing to cycle to the event. It is located at the Herne Hill entrance. There are also cycle racks available in the local area. Please respect the park and do not attach your bike to the park railings or gates.

Brockwell Park is well served by numerous bus routes and two major public transport hubs, both with step free access.

●      Herne Hill train station – 0.3 miles

Herne Hill is the closest station to the event site, situated to the north-east of Brockwell Park. The station is approximately 500 metres away from both the Brixton and Herne Hill entrances of the festival site and involves crossing two roads to access the park. Staff help is available at this station with ramps for train access and step free access coverage.

More information on the National Rail website

●      Brixton Underground Station and Brixton Rail Station – 1 mile

 Brockwell Park is approximately 1 mile away from Brixton Underground Station. Visitors can travel by train from the nearby Brixton Rail Station to Herne Hill, which is a 2 minute train journey. The distance between Brixton Underground Station and Brixton Rail Station is approximately 130 metres by roadside pavement and involves crossing a road once.

There are also several bus routes from the underground station to outside of the park.

There is step-free access at Brixton Underground station.

●      Buses

The following routes all serve the area: 2, 3, 37, 68, 196, 322, 432, 468, 690 and all have accessible access.

The closest bus stops located outside of the show site are on Dulwich Road and Norwood Road. Both bus stops are located approximately 130 metres (2 minute walk) away from the Herne Hill entrance to the park.

At the end of the event, think of our neighbours around the park and leave quietly.

There are two exits out of the event, one to Brixton Station and one for Herne Hill Station.
