1 - the entrance to the main car park is pretty near to the entrance to the Arts Centre itself, I think - on Silk Street

2 - It is safe! Very. Can be quiet, but honestly, the whole place is bristling with CCTV cameras and round the corner is one of London's largest police stations.

3 - Depending on which car park you use you are either a minute's walk or no more than five, away from the Silk St entrance. However, once in the building, it can take you a further five or so minutes to get into the concert hall/theatre space - it's an enormous building.

I can check for you Monday exactly which car park is open (I walk there, don't drive) as there have been huge renovations on the Silk St side of the building over the past 2 years

Thanks Marina

How do I find which car park to use?

I want the one with the shortest walk?

Is it like a multi storey car park or is it spread out?

[Marina]

They are spread out, but all close by.
You know I walk past there every day and don't pay attention to their numbers and the website's amazingly unhelpful!
I think you want car park number three RTKM.
None of them is that far away

Went to see "Catepillar Wish" an Australian film with my hero Philip Quast in

I had seen it before on the plane on the way home from Australia, last year but that was on a small plane screen

This was in CINEMA 1, as part of the Australian film season

We are going to hear him in concert next year, also in the Barbican
