"The Big 50" - The Venue

The party will be held at the Hallmark Hotel on the Purley Way in Croydon. This is a recently refurbished version of what many of you may recall as the Aerodrome Hotel (remember those weddings and Xmas parties in the 1980s?).

We will be in the Amy Johnson suite (Amy was the first woman to fly solo from England to Australia in 1930 when she took off from what was then the main London airport, just next to the hotel).

It's really easy to get to by car via the A23 Purley Way (CR9 4LT) with ample parking, is close to Purley and East Croydon rail stations and also served by the 119 night bus. All the details are available via the following link to the hotel website.

I'll be adding a further post to the blogsite with details of discounted room rates for those of you who may be thinking about staying over (night bar available...).
