Fun Spot!!
Aug 2020 • Friends
A real hidden gem and fun little spot to visit.

Whilst it feels like a long trip to the end of the Victoria line and then a walk to the place, it’s so worthwhile. I really enjoyed walking through Walthamstow which I never would have done had I not been coming here!

Free to visit and a brilliant experience. We walked round three/four times and spotted something different every time!! Probably only needed an hour but there is a cafe if you want to hang around longer and a few bars opposite.

Very photographable spot with all the cool signs. Beware of getting caught up in instagram photo shoots however!!

Fabulous neon lighting art works - amazing display ! Cafe experience was disappointing though. We were ignored and gave up.

A fun experience
Sep 2020
Showcasing neon signs, old and new with humour. Commisions invited and some pieces for sale. There is a small cafe inside plus a courtyard are too. Walthamstow itself is worth a visit with the contrasting village and general market

A must when you’re in London!
Sep 2020 • Friends
This weekend we visited the junkyard in London for the first time and it’s absolutely brilliant! The energy of the place is vibrant with plenty to see and it’s definitely a great place to do an Instagram photo if you’re looking for somewhere “instagramable”. You wouldn’t necessarily expect to see it where it’s located but it adds to the uniqueness of the place. They have a lovely garden out the back and you could honestly forget you were in London whilst sat there.

Hidden Gem in London
Sep 2020 • Friends
Everything about this place is great! The staff are friendly, the atmosphere is great and it’s just a really cool place! It’s got a small cafe inside with really good choices including plenty of vegan options. There are several quirky bars around it too. We walked round three times and each time spotted something different! It wasn’t too busy and was completely free to visit! Well worth the afternoon trip!

Vibrant and something different
Aug 2020 • Friends
Something different to visit in London. A bit of a trek from South London, but could be done as a day trip given that there are breweries right opposite Gods Own Junkyard!

I went in expecting a neon lights shop and got a huge surprise. For one thing it’s not a shop and for another the places story surprised me. If you get a chance you should definitely read about it. Great place. Highly recommend.

A magical experience!
Mar 2020 • Friends
I’ve visited this beautiful, quirky, fascinating gallery / museum and eaten in The Rolling Scones café and bar with my young children and friends and couldn’t recommend visiting highly enough! Being in the warm and colourful glow of the stunning neon signs is so uplifting, cosy and fun and this welcoming warmth is reflected in the wonderful people that run God’s Own Junkyard! The team there are so friendly and the service is excellent and highly professional. The neon sign collection is extensive, diverse and very cleverly curated. It really is a feast for the eyes! Delicious food, homemade cakes, hot drinks and a great variety of cocktails and mocktails are served at the café, with comfortable seating and tables. I would highly recommend their scrumptious afternoon tea too! I love the music that’s played there (mainly 80s and 90s indie rock) just the right volume to nod and toe-tap to, while being able to chat very comfortably, it perfectly enhances the vibrant, but relaxed atmosphere. Visiting God’s Own Junkyard is a truly special and unique experience. It really feels like the heart and soul of Walthamstow. 💗🌈 ✨
