Visitor Information

There is no smoking on our site.

Accessibility:

Our site is wheelchair accessible but you will need some assistance on our rough surfaces outside. We are fundraising to improve these. We regret that the Creek itself is a wild river and is not wheelchair accessible, but we will try and give you the best experience we can on dry land.

Our building is fully accessible.

Dogs:

Dogs are not allowed unless they are for disability assistance.

Entering our site

Our entrance is through our big, beautiful metal gates on Creekside. If we are expecting you and the gates are locked or closed try ringing the doorbell or the right-hand pillar, or call the office if this doesn't get a response.

Our Entrance on Creekside. If you're coming from the South (right of picture - eg. from Deptford Bridge), you'll pass Little Faith Brewery and the Gaff Cafe. From the North (left of picture - 47/177/188 buses), we're just after the railway bridge. From the East (top of picture - Greenwich), exit the footpath and turn left.
