Everything you need to know, from how to get here via train, DLR or bus, plus our site opening times, what you can and cannot bring to OnBlackheath and readmission details.
There is strictly no parking on site but that’s fine because Blackheath is very well connected by public transport. The area is well served by SouthEastern trains, the DLR, the Tube, Thames Clippers and those big red things that the wheels go round on. The festival entrance is on the heath by the corner of Hare and Billet Road and Mounts Pond Road and will be signposted from Lewisham, Blackheath and Greenwich Stations.
There are plenty of options to reach us by train, either from central London or surrounding counties. The nearest rail stations are Lewisham (eight minute walk), Blackheath (10 minute walk) and Greenwich (20 minute walk). Westcombe Park and Deptford stations are close to us as well.
The nearest DLR stations are: Lewisham (8 minute walk) Elverson Road (19 min walk), Deptford Bridge (20 min walk) and Cutty Sark (22 min walk).
All aboard! Bus routes that pass close to the ONBlackheath site are: 53, 54, 108, 202, 286, 386 and 380.
The nearest London Overground station is New Cross (30 min walk) or New Cross Gate, which are close to each other, with New Cross the nearest to ONBlackheath.
The nearest Tube stop is North Greenwich (Jubilee Line). From here take the No 108 bus to Blackheath and it’s then a 10-minute walk to the festival.
Avoid the roads and come to us by boat! Thames Clippers, who run regular services along the river, stop regularly at Greenwich, a 25-minute walk from us through leafy Greenwich Park.
