GDIF 2022 | London’s free, annual outdoor performing arts festival 26 August-11 September 2022
Getting here
We always encourage our audiences to walk, cycle, or take public transport to our events. There are lots of cycle routes across the Royal Borough of Greenwich and east London, and cycle parking will be available at or near all events. Many GDIF sites are accessible by river, so why not take to the water with Uber Boat by Thames Clippers?
All Blue Badge parking and accessible drop off points are outlined on each main event page.
