Hello Lads and Ladies
I must admit its the first time i have read the thread but i thought i would add a another area into the mix.
For access and local to the City then Battersea would be the better choice for crowd control/safety etc as the area is used to holding events.
Vicky ( Victoria ) park is another good choice as again the area is used to holding events .the park authorities are a bit anal when it comes to parking and mess in the area though.
O2...another good choice but could be costly ( the main reason why it went bust in the first place)
Have a thought on this
THE MUDDY OR MUDCHUTE...on the island and Millwall park backs on to this as well( abit there is a local farm and allotments ) but easy transport via docklands railway/local buses and the main roads..also easy access from greenwich/bermondsey/city/poplar
opposite side is Asda's so more parking available there as well.
