Any bikes that are left overnight may be removed. Bikes, skateboards, scooters, roller blades, and personal motorised vehicles are not permitted inside the event.
Car
We would recommend that you do not drive to the event. Although there is parking you must pre-book your space to guarantee you can park and there will be road closures around the site for each event, as well as usual chaotic London traffic to be aware of.
There is also no official drop off and pick up point for those driving or taking taxis to Hyde Park, so plan for a location that is walkable but away from the event.
