Cross The Tracks

Brockwell Park (Norwood Road, Brixton, SE24 9BJ) is easy to reach by public transport. The closest Tube stop is Brixton on the Victoria Line; from there it's a short taxi ride or about a 15-20 minute walk to the main entrance of the park. Southern and Thameslink trains stop at Herne Hill and Tulse Hill, each only a few minutes' walk away. London's extensive bus network also serves the area - buses such as the 2, 3, 37, 196, 322, 432 and 690 run along Norwood Road and nearby streets, connecting Brixton with Clapham, Camberwell and other parts of the city. Using an Oyster or contactless payment card is recommended for convenience on all London transport.

If you're coming from outside London or abroad, plan to arrive via a major airport and then travel into the city. From Heathrow, take the Heathrow Express or Piccadilly line into central London, then switch to the Victoria line (southbound) and ride all the way to Brixton. Gatwick has frequent trains to London Victoria or London Bridge, from where you can continue by Tube or train to reach Herne Hill or Brixton. Stansted and Luton have express trains to Liverpool Street and King's Cross/St Pancras respectively; from either station, take the Tube (or a short train) southbound to Brixton. Once you're in central London, simply hop on the Victoria line to Brixton or take a short local train to Herne Hill - both stations are just a few minutes' walk from Brockwell Park. Allow plenty of extra travel time on busy weekends and check schedules in advance.

If you prefer to drive, Brockwell Park is accessible via several main roads. From central London, you can take the A23 (Brixton Road) or A215 (Kennington Lane) southbound into Brixton. Other routes via Streatham Hill or Clapham from the south and west also bring you toward Brockwell Park. Once in Brixton, follow signs for Norwood Road. On festival day, the roads near the park will be very busy and parking in the immediate area is limited. Many visitors choose to park farther away and use public transport, a bike or a short taxi ride for the final stretch. Note that London's Congestion Charge and ULEZ rules may apply if your route passes through central London. If you do drive, allow plenty of extra time and check for parking restrictions.

There are many accommodation options in and around Brixton if you plan to stay overnight. Brixton offers small hotels, guesthouses and B&Bs, and more are available in nearby areas like Clapham, Camberwell, Herne Hill and Streatham. Some festival-goers stay near major stations (for example, Waterloo, Victoria or London Bridge) and travel by Tube to Brixton on the day of the event. Booking websites and apps list rooms for all budgets, but London is busy during holiday weekends so it's wise to book early. Wherever you stay, London's excellent transport network makes reaching the park easy by Tube, bus or train.
