DIRECTIONS to the ANNEXE:

1) Walk through the company gardens, until you are in front of the SANG (the South African National Gallery ~ the building with the interesting large sculptures outside). When you are facing the SANG, then immediately to the right of the gallery you’ll see the parking area, with the Annexe located on the same piece of land. (There’s an entrance with a steel gate leading from the Company Gardens into the parking area - it will be closed, so just walk a short while further, to go around the block and enter from the front entrance on the street… see point 2 below).

2) Drive down Plein Street / St Johns Street / Hatfield Street / Upper Orange Street (these are all names for the same road) ~ look for the signs to the MOPP PARKING AREA on Cape Town High School’s sports field. Then walk 200m down the road towards parliament, past the SA Jewish Museum - the Annexe is the building immediately next to the Jewish Museum. The entrance is directly opposite Gallery Street (and directly under a signpost for “St Johns Street“).
