New Cross Turn Left: Welcome Knitters!

Friday 15 July 2011

Welcome Knitters!

Greetings to all those who are visiting this blog from Stitch London!

We are so happy to be welcoming Lauren O'Farrell, founder of Stitch London, studio-holder at the Old Police Station and author of Stitch London to New Cross Turn Left.

The New Cross Turn Left festivities will begin at 1PM - take a look at our sidebar for a list of all the activities - there's also a comics fair and a cake stall open all day.

At 4PM, 24th July, in the courtyard (weather allowing) of the Old Police Station (SE14 6LG), Lauren will be giving her first ever knitted graffiti workshop. If you think craft and art can potentially be the same thing, than you have to find your way to the Old Police Station two Sundays from now. It will be epic! If weather's a bit crap come to the café for some cake by Alesha and we'll announce the new location of Lauren's workshop.

See you there!

Directions and Access Information

Go to New Cross Station (it's one stop from London Bridge on the train or it's on the swanky new Overground line from the hair-fashionable East End, just don't go to New Cross Gate by mistake) and then, on exiting the station, turn left onto Amersham Vale. Walk, wheel, skate, ride, skip, dance, hop, roll, crawl or get a piggy back ride to the Old Police Station and join the party there.

When in doubt, we recommend the London Journey Planner - especially since New Cross Turn Left takes place on a Sunday. The last London Overground train to Dalston (the one that connects with the Tube at Canada Water and Whitechapel) leaves New Cross at 23:09 on Sundays - something to bear in mind, though New Cross also has excellent bus connections to central London.

The building has steps to enter, but the garden has level access from the yard, which will be open. Get in touch if you've got any questions about access and we'll do our best to make sure we can answer them.

New Cross Turn Left will take place rain or shine.
