Alexandra Palace

I have made a pledge to walk 5 kilometres across Alexandra Palace gardens. I did it to help raise money and awareness of the devastation caused by Alzheimers.  I see on a daily basis how this illness destroys what really makes us humans (our ability to fully participate in the act of engaging with others - our own species, therefore removing us from a social existence, it kills all that we really are, all that we have inside leaving  only an empty shell that at first sight seems alive but never really quite so. It does it by robbing us from our most cherished memories, therefore robbing us from those we love. That is the worst part. It is like a cancerous illness that spreads around dishing its havoc and pain in incremental instalments by engulfing those who are closest to us.  It robes us of what is perhaps the only real fortune we can ever have: our capacity to give back love to those we actually do love, and our capability to perceive when love is being given to us. This is why I think that there is a unique cruelty about this illness.  As I said before; it leaves behind a living carcass. It is time that we eliminate it through and all means available. The building itself is architectural marvel and the surrounding grounds idyllic. I highly recommend it to everyone; families, people with pets, and to absolutely anyone who enjoys that peace that comes from communion with nature,

Absolutely stunning building would love to go and watch something at the theatre. We were visiting the ice rink as our sons had an ice hockey match. The rink was in great condition we look forward to going for a skate session there at some point. If you park in the car park and go into the foyer you can enter the registration of your car and park there no charge for the rest of your visit. After hockey we walked to the pub right next door to the AP and they sell delicious stone baked pizza. 🍕

Amazing venue. So iconic and the views across London are second to none! It can be a bit of a trek, but the buses from Wood Green Underground Station to the venue run smoothly. During the summer time there are lovely garden and bar areas to sit outside before the show. The atmosphere inside is always electric with it's unique, incredible decor.
