This cache has been archived.

KissedSomeFrogs: This cache keeps getting Muggled so we are archiving it. Hopefully someone will replace it in a slightly more stealthy location.

Geocache Description:

A cache in the Westborne Park area of London, a short walk from Portobello Road. Large enough for a travelbug or two. Note that the cache can NOT be accessed from the Westway, it is "Under" the Westway.

 


The prior version "The Studio's" was very popular. Unfortunately the post that the cache was attached to was removed! I tried to recover the original cache box, but it had been binned.

I've found a new location for the cache very nearby that's a bit more permenant and replaced the cache.

The cache is located outside of the building and you do not need to enter any fenced in area. Because of the Westway overhead, your GPS may not give an accurate reading so yo may have to use your geosense. You are looking for an 8 cm x 12 cm  plastic box. It's big enough to hold a travel bug or two.

"The Studios"

Welcome to The Studios! Under the Westway. This interesting purple building was built around and under the West Way near Westbourne Park and Portobello Road. If you enter the lobby area (public during business hours) and look up, the ceiling is the underside of the Westway!

The cache is located outside of the building and you do not need to enter any fenced in area. Because of the Westway overhead, your GPS may not give an accurate reading, so here's a hint: "P" is for Parking. You are looking for an 8 cm x 12 cm magnetic mount plastic box. It's big enough to hold a travel bug or two. 

Access to the area is via "Acklam Road", note that you CAN NOT access the cache from the Westway! The nearest tube station is Westbourne Park, (look for the foot bridge off of Tavistock Crescent),  and it's just a short walk from the Portobello Market. During business hours M-F there are a lot of Muggles out in front of the building smoking, or visiting the Mosque next door so stealth is required.
