Getting there & hotels
Map
Here it is on Google maps.
Address
265 Poyser Street, Bethnal Green, London E2 9RF.
Public transport
The venue is within about 300m of Bethnal Green Underground and Cambridge Heath BR, it is also well served by buses. See the TFL Journeyplanner for details of how to get there on public transport.
Flying to London
It’s not as expensive as you might think. If you plan ahead and use low cost carriers like Easyjet or Ryanair. Check the baggage costs carefully with bargain flights, as if you don’t follow instructions to the letter the costs can rocket. It is well worth looking at Expedia for good deals.
Car share
Why not be green and save yourself some money? Give somebody a lift or share with somebody who is driving. You can try to pair up here on the Festival’s Fetlife group.
Hotels
Here is another area for some bargains as the weak pound and the recession take their toll. Either buy your flight and hotel as a combined deal or get discounted accomodation in sites like Hotels.com. I have also heard good reports about Days Hotel in Shoreditch, which is quite close and has some good online deals.
Here’s another site with special offers and frank reviews.
House guests
If anyone is able to offer any of the performers a place to stay, there are many who are on a budget who would be very grateful. Please mail me if you can help: info@esinem.com
