Demonstrations
You'll be surprised I think by the relaxed atmosphere here. It’s a marked contrast to traditional demonstrations in conventional retailers. That's because I offer ...
- just one demonstration slot in the morning
- one in the afternoon and occasionally
- one in the evening
This means that there is ...
No fuss
No hurry
No interruptions
No other visitors
No parking wardens – and ...
No coercion, covert or overt!
From time to time I’ve even been known to conduct a demonstration on a Sunday too!
Spend time with me and I guarantee you'll benefit from my years of experience and you'll receive my undivided attention.
Through choice I have no staff.
This means that every aspect of the demonstration and installation is taken care of by me personally. I am personally and utterly accountable for your total satisfaction. I wouldn’t have it any other way – and neither would my customers.
In summary then — calm and intelligent demonstrations for lovers of all types of music.

The map i.e how to find me
Getting here via London Underground:
The nearest underground station is Arnos Grove, on the Piccadilly line. The travelling time from central London (using Kings Cross as an example) is around 20 minutes.
There is only one exit. There is usually a working phone box in the station if you don’t have a mobile. Just phone me on 0208 447 8485 and I will collect you. I'm about 5 minutes away. After the demonstration I will of course return you to Arnos Grove.
Getting here via over-ground (National Rail) train:
A fast service, roughly every 20 minutes starting at Moorgate is available throughout the week. The journey from Moorgate takes about 17 minutes usually. The service is somewhat less frequent on a Saturday and the train starts from Kings Cross, although you can also connect with it at Finsbury Park Underground Station too.
After you leave the station, turn right and then you’ll find Grovelands Road at the second turning on the right. It’s a leisurely 10 minute stroll to number 59. Or you can phone me on 0208 447 8485 and I will collect you by car.
Getting here by car:
Directions to 59 Grovelands Road, Palmers Green, London N13 [from the M25]
At junction 24 on the M25 (anticlockwise i.e. from the East) leave the motorway and at the roundabout take the second exit (signposted the A111) Be careful not to confuse this with the first exit (signposted A1005) as it is pretty close by to the one you want.
At junction 24 on the M25 (clockwise i.e. from the West) leave the motorway and at the roundabout take the fourth exit (signposted the A111) Be careful not to confuse this with the third exit (signposted A1005) as it is pretty close by to the one you want.
After joining the A111, proceed down the hill and onwards for about 2 miles, passing Cockfosters Tube Station on your left. Pass the station (waving happily at commuters if you wish) keeping on the same road, until you come to a roundabout.
Take the second exit, keeping the Chicken Shed Theatre on your left.
Carry on for a mile or so (through the traffic lights) taking the second exit (straight ahead) at the mini roundabout adjacent to ASDA on your left and the BP petrol site on your right. This is Southgate, London N14. You are almost at Palmers Green.
You’ll come to another roundabout, with Southgate Tube Station on your right. Take the third exit, into ‘The Bourne’ - which is still the A111.
Down the hill, then up - and on the left is the Woodman Pub. Go slow at take the right fork, into Fox Lane.
Watch for nutter drivers wearing reversed baseball caps, driving XR3i or 205GTi cars in the oncoming lane! Yes, seriously. Bad junction!
Grovelands Road is the seventh road on the right. 59 is about 100 yards down, on the right.
Directions to 59 Grovelands Road, Palmers Green, London N13 [from the North Circular A406 – from the EAST]
Pass through the underpass at Upper Edmonton under Fore Street A1010.
After about 0.5 miles ….. At the junction with the A10 [Great Cambridge Road] do NOT go through the underpass, rather take the slip road up to the massive roundabout
Take the third exit, Hedge Lane. Take care as this is probably the most dangerous roundabout in London, if not the UK.
Proceed for about a mile and at the first set of traffic lights, turn left. At the first roundabout (Green Lanes, Fox Public House) turn right into Aldermans Hill.
Carefully over the hump bridge and Grovelands road is second on the left.
Directions to 59 Grovelands Road, Palmers Green, London N13 [from the North Circular A406 – from the WEST]
Go under the underpass at Finchley High Road [A1000] and proceed for about 2 miles till you come to a massive railbridge over the A406 Under the bridge [Pinkham Way] and over the first set of lights [Bounds Green Road A109] Gasworks on left. Keep in left lane.
0.5 miles to next set of lights.
This cross road has the A406 moving to the right. You go straight over into Wilmer Way.
Over mini roundabout to the next set of lights with a big park on the right.
Turn right at the lights, down Aldermans Hill. Grovelands road is the fifth on the left.
But am I just too far away for you to visit?
A good question. A simple and truthful answer might well be - "only if you want it that way"
Re staying over in London, well we have a network of 'hotels' called Travel Lodge. They are spotlessly clean and about as low cost as one could reasonably expect in the Uk at around £40 per night. No breakfast though.

The most convenient for you if you want to visit me AND do sightseeing in London is:

Palmers Green is just 20 mins North from Kings Cross station.
The nearest to me, and might be the least expensive (but remember that traveling into and out London from this one might be around £9.00) is here:
http://www.travelodge.co.uk/find_a_hotel/hotel/hotel_id/339/Cheshunt
I personally collect you from there and deliver you safely back after your demonstration here.
For visitors that buy from me, the cost of staying for one night at the Travelodge is deducted from the sales invoice.
