God's Own Junkyard

A warehouse of neon signs from films and Soho clubs, with a café in the middle.

Thousands of neon signs, old and new, crammed into a warehouse in Walthamstow, with a bar and café among them. It is free, only open Friday to Sunday, and works best as a wet-weekend detour with the craft breweries on the same yard. Photographs are encouraged.

When it works

Indoors, so the weather does not matter. Best afternoon, evening.
