DETAILED PARKING / LOCATION INSTRUCTIONS / OTHER DETAILS:  

Crystal Palace Park, Anerley Hill, London SE19 2BA - exact location as on this map

Pay for parking is available in the park. The closest car park to the racing venue is reached via the gate on Anerley Road, A214.

 - see map

Sign on and race HQ will be located above the concert bowl stage (aka The Rusty Laptop). The nearest landmark is a statue of Dante – known locally as The Headless Statue for obvious reasons – which is marked on Google Maps here: https://tinyurl.com/2mca389n .

There are no changing facilities at the park. The nearest toilets are located inside the Laptop stage, which is accessed via a bridge over the lake. Under no circumstances may any bicycles be taken across the bridge on to the stage. The lake around the stage is not fenced off, and young children must be supervised by parents or carers when visiting the stage. Other public toilets are available, but these are about 800m away so budget plenty of time if you need to go ahead of your race- see map
