Private summer party for Soho House members and their guests.  Afternoon and evening of food, drink and entertainment.  The event is not open for general admission. 

Yes, the sports centre, museum, and car park will all be open as usual however, on 3rd July a one-way system will be implemented in the car park for safety reasons. The event organisers will be providing stewards and installing barrier in and near the car park to direct event related traffic and other traffic also using the car park during this time. Your cooperation in following their directions is appreciated.  

Event attendees are being encouraged to travel by public transport and the event organisers have publicised that there is no parking available at the event or in the local area. There is a dedicated taxi and pick up and drop off operation within Gunnersbury Park to minimise the impact of vehicular traffic on the main road.  This will be signposted, stewarded and communicated to event attendees in advance. The event organisers are implementing robust crowd management and dispersal plans to help move customers away from the area and to public transport hubs as safely, quickly, and quietly as possible. It is expected that the majority of attendees will arrive and depart by Acton Town Station, the high volume of people crossing the A406 to get to Acton Town station might mean that there are longer waits at these traffic lights. 

During egress, right turning from Pope’s Lane on to the A406 and left turning from Gunnersbury Lane on to the A406 will be prohibited during egress only, to create a longer sterile crossing period for pedestrians, during traffic light cycles. 

A partial closure to Pope’s Lane will be in place from the junction with the A406 to its junction with Lionel Road North during EGRESS ONLY, approximately from 20:00 to 23:30, to further limit nuisance parking on Pope’s Lane as well as calm the A406 junction and decrease the number of vehicles looking to turn right at the A406. Diversion signage and traffic marshals will be in place to support this. 

This process with help to maintain a safer crossing for egressing pedestrians. Thank you for your patience. 

The event organisers are implementing a waste management plan which includes regularly collecting and clearing waste from their arena, the other areas in the park being used for the event, and in the surrounding streets being used by their customers who are arriving and departing from nearby transport hubs.  The schedule of collections continues throughout the event, and post event to ensure parks and proximate locations are clear the next day.  Streets covered include Popes Lane from the Sports Centre entrance to A406 crossing (and around this area) and then along Gunnersbury Lane to Acton Town station.  The event organisers are also committed to reducing their impact on the environment. 

• A comprehensive Noise Management Plan has been developed by the event organisers in consultation with competent acousticians and the Council’s Noise Pollution Officers. Construction and deconstruction should not be audible beyond the boundary of the park outside of 08:00 to 20:00. The stages have been positioned to minimise the likelihood of performance noise being a nuisance while the concerts are live. There will be a short fireworks display that will last no longer than 2 minutes between 10pm - 10:30pm. If you do experience nuisance noise you can contact the event organisers using the contact details which will be circulated prior to the event. Upon receiving a complaint about noise, the event organiser will ask for information so they are able to respond. This response might involve sending a member of the event organiser’s Noise Monitoring Team to your location so they can take readings and make adjustments to the event’s amplified sound if necessary.

Feeding the ducks is a fun past time for young and old alike.

We ask our visitors to refrain from feeding them bread but instead more nutritional foods: sweetcorn, lettuce, defrosted peas, oats, seeds and rice are much better for our wildlife. Alternatively, Duck Food is available at our Museum Gift Shop.
