Guide To Visiting the Oslo!

The Block 2019 is well underway at the Oslo Hotel is by far the largest project ever attempted by The Block, as a result, more facilities than ever have been needed to ensure construction can run as required. There’s a lot to see when you visit, so we’ve compiled a list of must-visit places to go when you visit The Block 2019!

Oslo Front Facade

The main facade of the Oslo is in the process of being fully transformed, covered in scaffolding and Block logos. Located on Grey Street, the majority of the construction action is all up the front. If you're after a coffee fix, McCafe even have a little coffee van parked out the front. Soon, the scaffolding that covers the front facade will be gone and it'll be the perfect spot to admire 5 stunning FINISHED terrace homes!

Located only 100m from Grey Street, Dalgety Lane is the entrance to the Block studio garages. Not only can you follow the progress of the studio’s, you get an amazing view of the entire new of the extensions built onto the Oslo. Plus if you're wanting to spot a contestant or two, this is where you'll want to be!


The Block Site Office and Car Park

Opposite to Dalgety Lane, on Little Grey Street is The Block’s site office and Block car park. The two locations are directly across from each other so you'll get the best of both worlds. You’ll be able to spot the masses of tradies and construction equipment from a distance, but if you’ve ever wanted to take a selfie with a Block car then visiting the site office and Block car park is a must!


The Block Shop

Last years Block at the Gatwick saw the return of The Block Shop pop-up opening for the public and for the contestants. This year The Block Shop has returned, however at a different location further up at 107 Fitzroy Street. The contestants visit The Block Shop everyday for furniture and homewares so make sure to visit if you want to see a contestant or two!


Happy Block-travels and make sure to tag us in your Block-photos!!
