London (2 Viewers)

[RSJ]

im off to london next wwekend..im planning on going to that pixar exhibition..anyone else any good tips on exhibitions??is the zandra rhodes one still on at the v&a?and how far away from central london is the roald dahl museum?

Any interest in seeing that "bodies" thing? Thinking of heading over to it meself.

 

[muffin]

am i gonna sound like a complete tool if i say ive never heard of it??

 

[RSJ]

Not at all, only heard of it by chance myself. It's more of a science thing than an art thing from what i understand, here's the blurb

Real human bodies, preserved through an innovative process and then respectfully presented. Experience the human body like never before when you visit Bodies…The Exhibition.

Maybe more of a boys thing, but i'm quite looking forward to it, probably going middle of may.

Trains to/from Stansted are from/to Liverpool St...have a look at the Tube map and see what's most convenient.

Dunno, I would never head that far east for a pint!

 

[dudley]

[Stan Bowles]

Anyone have a rough idea how long it would take to get from stanstead to luton? Thinking of getting in on a monday round 18.40 abd would fly out of luton at 21.30. Two hours be enough (letting an hour for check in)?

www.nationalexpress.com says there's a Stansted-Luton bus at 19:10 that arrives at 20:50, giving you just 10 minutes' leeway before the checkin closes...to take the train I think you have to go through London, but I'm not sure how long that takes.

 

[MDR]

The train from stansted to liverpool street takes about 50 mins and costs £25 (€40).

Bit of an odd question, but does anyone visit the Mean Fiddler venue often? Going to see the weakerthans in august, site says "doors at 7", what kind of time can i expect main bands on? Trying to minimise time taken off work. Also, anyone ever slept in heathrow airport?

Be there for nine, you should be fine, most London venues have an 11PM curfew.

There's a train that leaves from the station near the airport very frequently. Shouldn't take more than 40 mins to Kings Cross Thameslink. You can buy tickets with an integrated daily tube travelcard. Can't remember how much it costs, but was definitely cheaper than trying to get fro Stansted to London.

From Kings Cross Thameslink there follow the signs to Kings Cross tube station. Barbican has a tube stop about three stops east of Kings Cross on various lines.

Oh! You can get out Moorgate too. There's a yellow line on the path around there that you need to follow to get to the entrance.
