It has been a while since I did the Maze at Crystal Palace Park. The summer is ending, and besides, N is about to move back here at the end of October. And yet, with a certain amount of negotiation, and a following wind, we decided that this last weekend would be the day of the next trip - to Hampton Court Palace. And yet as always it feels as if the trip to the mazes is as full of twists and dead ends as the maze itself. Follow the left wall. )

I fancy going to an exhibition at Battersea Power Station - not so much for contemporary Chinese art as for the building. I'm not sure of how you get there though. From the map it looks like Sloane Square tube, Chelsea Bridge and Queentowns road, or Vauxhaul Station and 9 Elms Road.

The website will be written in the future tense (http://www.thepowerstation.co.uk/) once the redevelopment has happened:

"Convenient travel links will provide fast and efficient access to the site by rail, river and road including international connections to London Gatwick Airport and Waterloo Eurostar terminal.

"An ultramodern railway will offer a frequent 4-minute connection to Victoria terminus; a high speed/high frequency riverbus service will operate East and West along the Thames; there will be underground parking for some 3500 vehicles plus dedicated shuttle bus services and taxi ranks."

Can anyone speak from experience? Can you buy tickets on the door or do you have to deal with the Serpentine Gallery first?


Edit: I have eventually found an in-focus map on their website. You have to start an application. Chiz. Battersea Park seems closest.

http://www.timeout.com/london/china_power_station/ for booking details - seems you have to prebook. H'mmm. Tickets online or from Time Out, 251 Tottenham Court Road, W1, if that's open on a weekend.

Edit 2: Doesn't sound good - see the comments http://www.timeout.com/london/art/events/269216/china_power_station-part_1.html
