Heads up! The Summer of Sonic website has revealed the intended location for this year’s convention. Following the announcement some months ago that the venue would be situated in London, attendees now know to head to Shepherd’s Bush for The Pavilion, a 1000-people strong space that offers a huge opportunity for some Sonic-based fun!
The website also provides a notice explaining the reason behind the venue’s delayed announcement. From the post:
“Various factors come into play when it comes to hiring a professional venue for an event – there’s signing of contracts, adding of accounts, and various clauses that need to be discussed at length before a deal between parties can be made final. Last year… we went through a similar process to this year to lock down the Truman Brewery. The fact that we have changed our venue for 2010 means all of that background work had to be done again.”
So there you have it. But, you already booked your hotels and flights and travel months ago anyway, right? So the delayed announcement is something of a moot point. As it happens, Shepherd’s Bush Tube station – one of the closest to the venue – is simple to get to on the Central (red) line on the London Underground map. A Google map location can be found here.

Finally! Now I can stop saying “I know nothing!”
I think it’s fair to say that I know exactly what I’ll be doing on the 7th of August…
Looks like I owe someone a bottle of water. Shame I’ve drunk some of it. I might save some. Hic..
1000 strong venue?! Very nice!
If I only could get to London…
Damn YOU H2O!!
I hope I can get there, I really would love to go..I’ll need an excuse as to why I’m flying to London for a day and back again..
..Great…
Now I need to find a way to GET to london.
DARN YOU UK SONIC FANS!!! jk
I wish I were English.
I wish we were all rich.
YAY.
I live kind of close to Shepherd Bush…..sort of.
Shouldn’t be too hard to get there this year.
Next year, and school is over. I just gotta, y’know, find the money.
@BlueChaos: And that.
Need to find a hotel now! Woo!
Still can`t make it to London DX I hope they allow artwork to be uploaded on the site like they did with SoS 06
so how do we go about buying the tickets or is that in another announcement??
Awesome!!! I can’t wait to go this year, looking forward to putting my name down.
What would be the closest airport the the venue?
London has a variety of airports, it would totally depend on the airline you travel with.
…I LOVE YOU GUYS.
That’s exactly 10 minutes from my house. XDDDDDD
@Blue Chaos.
If its London, I suggest a flight to Heathrow. That’s closest.
I know a few airlines from the US go to Gatwick, but that is MILES away from London.
HEATHROW is the way to go.
@Scartillery Yeah, I’m flying from Ireland and I was going to go with Ryanair, I think they go to Gatwick and Stanstead..
Ok, major problem here. How about for the people that live in the U.S. barely has enough money to live on but seriously wants to go to Summer of Sonic in London. I feel like this is a dying wish to go to the SoS. I’m this person that’s currently having this problem. Does anybody want to offer a helping hand so I may be the lucky one to go to London and see my favorite characters at the SoS 2010 convention. I’m devastated because I possibly won’t be able to go and I desperately want to go there and have the time of my life. Please someone help this poor soul out and make this soul happy. If you want to offer a helping hand then please respond.
