Socialising and a well-deserved rest at The Steel Yard, an entertainment venue in three giant arches under Cannon St station in Central London
After the WNBR London ride on Sunday 14th June 2026 – Your entertainment will be in two sessions from 8pm with life drawing at 7pm for early arrivals. Doors and bars open at 6pm.
The afterparty is open from 6pm on ride day – Sunday 14th June 2026. As well as food, drink, socialising and a well-deserved rest, there will also be entertainment in two sessions with an interval. Like last year, early arrivals can also enjoy a life drawing taster session – either drawing or as a model – go on, give it a try! The main entertainment starts at 8pm to give riders time to go home, drop off their bikes and travel to the venue.
In keeping with WNBR norms it will be clothing-optional – you can be bare as you dare. There will be some naked people and some dressed people – please respect others’ personal choices and preferences. No sexual behaviour or arousal is permitted – security will remove anyone behaving inappropriately! There will be a designated “do not disturb” zone with its own bar where people can relax without unwanted attention – this will be enforced by our professional security team.
Anyone (18+) is welcome to attend. Early bookers, participants in the ride and genuine couples can get discounted tickets.
