Any place to crash for those coming from outside of London?

Yes there are places to crash in LOndon, there is a big camping site at Crystal Palace Park which is quite cheap. This is a long way out though. You coulod also try fly camping in the bushes on Hampstead Heath or Hackney Marsh or Burgess Park in south London. Burgess Park is quite near central London and has a couple of overgrown spot where you could hide a tent and camp.

Maybe there could be a noticeboard for those wishing to stay overnight to find some friendly soul?

There should be opportunities for people to crash from Friday night - provided they lend a helping hand.
Ideally, helpers should attend the volunteers meeting at 6pm Friday night at the venue.
The location will be made public Fri afternoon on Indymedia or on through 07931 560 569.
