3rd G8 2007 UK-Mobilisation Meeting!

THURSDAY 3rd MAY 6pm-10pm

@ RAMPARTS SOCIAL CENTRE - EAST LONDON

From 6-8 June 2007, the G8 Summit – the meeting of the heads of state and government of the USA, Canada, Japan, Great Britain, France, Italy, Germany and Russia – are planning on meeting in Germany.

But we're gonna shut em down......

Following on from a meeting in Reading in March, we will hold a 3nd meeting to discuss the UK G8 Mobilisation for 2007. This will be hosted in London, at the RampART Creative Social Centre, 15 Rampart Street, off Commercial Road, London, E1 2LA.

Here's a map:  http://www.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?client=public&search_result=&db=pc&keepicon=true〈=&pc=E12LA&advanced=&client=public&addr2=&quicksearch=E1%202LA&addr3=&addr1=

How to get there?

Public Transport

Nearest tube stops are Whitechapel, Aldgate East and Shadwell (which includes the DLR and the East London Line). The distance between them and Rampart is about the same. It takes 5-10 minutes to walk to/from those stations. Shadwell DLR has no barriers or ticket inspectors.

Bus routes that stop just at the top of Rampart Street on Commerical Road include 15 and 115. You can also get the 100 to nearby Shadwell which comes from South London. On Whitechapel High Street (about 5 mins walk away), you have the number 25 (the ‘free’ bendy bus) and the 205 among others.

By Car

Why? But yes, Ramparts is outside of the Congestion Zone and parking is not a problem in the evenings or at weekends. The major roads to navigate by are the A11 (Whitechapel Road) and the A13 (Commerical Road). The A13 comes direct from the M25 way out east.

If you are coming from any other direction other than from the east then you will
probably want to use the circular. From South of the river that would mean the A100 over
Tower Bridge. And from the North it would be the A501 or perhaps the A10.

Your final aim would be to find the junction with New Road which joins both the A11 and
the A13. You should be able to figure out the rest from the instructions above.
