StreetFest is a celebration of arts, music and of course fashion. This year we’re grateful to be invited to be a part of the event. It’s one day only and we’ll be bringing down our tees to Shoreditch for a great day out in London. Put May the 6th in your diaries and come by to see us.
Here’s a travel update for everyone heading to the screening this Sunday.
There is no Victoria line and no service to Loughborough Junction rail station unfortunately. But we can officially announce that we’ve arranged to have you driven to the screening by one of the many red buses travelling on London roads 🙂
Public Transport
The easiest route is from Elephant and Castle underground station (Zone 1 +2, Bakerloo Line) where you can walk to bus stop R outside the shopping centre and catch bus number 45 or bus number 35 to Loughborough Junction rail station: http://g.co/maps/q336a
It’s a 20 minute ride from Elephant and Castle to Loughborough Junction rail station: http://g.co/maps/u5p24
Once you get to the bus stop near Loughborough Junction rail station, we’re right around the corner: http://g.co/maps/34u9y
An alternative is to use replacement bus services which will run along the Victoria line to Brixton underground station.
From there you can cross to the side of the road opposite the station to bus stop T (in front of Haart/Specsavers) where you can catch bus 35 or bus 45.
The bus ride is less than 10 minutes and you need to get off at Loughborough Junction rail station and walk from there: http://g.co/maps/34u9y
Make sure to check on any engineering works that could affect your journey.

There are still a few tickets available (at least when this post was made), so be quick if you want to book your spot.
Here’s a run down of what we’ll be up to on the day.
We’re going to kick things off by giving everyone a chance to take part in our competition to win a special prize.
Judging from the talk on our Facebook page, mixing sweet and salted popcorn is popular. Well, we’ll have both kinds available for you guys before the film starts.
Once everyone has their popcorn we’ll kick off the main event. There’ll be a short break in between the film before we continue.
We’ll have a one time popup shop featuring all the mayamada t-shirts from the gift shop available for a discounted price. We’ll also have the Word Salad tee in white which you can’t get on the website.
We’ll be back next week to give you all the travel information so you know the best way to get to the screening.
Stay Tuned.
If you’ve been on our fan page for any length of time, you’ll know we’ve been working on a new hoodie for the past few months.
They were delivered last week but unfortunately, weren’t up to the standard we except for any item we put our name too.
We’re working on having them re-done as soon as we can, but because of that they’ll be a delay in getting them to you.
In the meantime, we’re offering FREE DELIVERY on every item in the gift shop on the website for the rest of the month.
We’ll have more sneak peek photos of the new hoodie like the one below soon.
