New Cross Turn Left: WOW

WOW

Sunday will hereafter be known as the day the sun came out. What a great time for a comics and cake party!

I think it's safe to say New Cross Turn Left was a roaring success. Thanks to our sponsor, Soaring Penguin Press, and to everyone who came.

In your honour, here's a massive photo post!

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.
