I have converted from 1 way to 2 way before, but i can't understand the wiring in my new house. i have at present 1 way 2 gang switch with 3 twin and earth coming down the wall. All of the blue wires are in a connecting block, one of the browns go to the l1 of the left switch another goes to the L2 of the same switch and the final brown goes to the L2 of the right switch. I have then got another single piece of brown piggy backing from L2 on the left switch to L1 on the right switch, which one is the switch wire and how do i convert to 2 way switching ?
i want to convert my kitchen lighting from 1 way to 2 way

Given what you know of how 1-way switches work, when you draw a diagram with switch symbols in it, isn't it obvious what's going on?
Draw it, and imagine what would happen with the switching with each brown in turn assumed to be the permanent live, and compare that to what actually happens...
In the usual way. How did you do it last time?
