Victorian extravaganza, Alexandra Palace set in its own parkland
on a ridge between Muswell Hill and Crouch End, is an unmissable destination
for Art in the Park.
We plan to meet at 11am in the Palm Court, which is the
Palace’s western entrance hall where we
will be able to sketch ensembles of palm
trees, sphinxes and pyramids under the
enormous curved glass roof, and any members of the public who might be wandering
around in the space.
If the weather is
fair, and we so wish, we can also go outside and sketch the spectacular building
and the amazing southwards view of London. For views of the interior, please have a
look here. Refreshments can be bought from the Bar & Kitchen, which has full
facilities. The bar has tables in the Palm Court, if
we use these we should buy some drinks or food. Otherwise we suggest you bring your sketching stools.
Ally Pally has two car parks, the closest one to the front
entrance is in The Grove, (if you are coming from the Crouch End direction turn to the left just after the Garden Centre
entrance, and please do not park in the Garden Centre). The other car park is at the far end of the building beside the entrance to the
skating rink. We are going on a
non-event day so there should be no parking difficulty, no crowds, nor any
entrance fee.
Alternatively, various buses go through the park. You can find a map and full travel details here. We are looking forward to another enjoyable day out with IAS
artists and their guests.
