minshy17 Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Hiya, Has anyone had the email with more information on location of the hotel? Its leaving it a bit close and due to the hotel not having parking available anywhere and the location being in the congestion charging zone i am now having to book coach tickets but i need to plan my journey. I also read online that the you have to provide your own duvets for the room which i am hoping is for the students only as if i now have to get a coach i do not want to be lugging my bedding on the tube with me! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heather Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Just got the follow up email. Says there will be 2 sites. Does this mean that we have to go to each one to see which we are in or is there a main building we go to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the follow up email I think Please find attached more details on the accommodation for LFCC. We will be split across 2 halls and to pre-empt the question, we do not know who is in which hall. Anyway details of both sites can be found by clicking on the link below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impact Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 (edited) I know the area so if you've any questions about food/transport/etc around the halls, then feel free to ask. Both places are very close to the museum district, South Kensington tube, buses....Harrods.... One is old (~120 years maybe), and I expect the rooms for crew will be up on the top floor, some possibly overlooking the Royal Albert Hall. Being the Union building, it is normally very noisy during term time, but due to renovations to the bars, no-one should be around. The other is the most recent halls, only just completed last summer, so everything should be shiny and new (depending on what the freshers have been doing there). Again, questions=ask 3 days! EDITED - See below for explanation. Edited July 14, 2010 by Too Tall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angel19_82 Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 (edited) Hey. just wondering what places are nearby to eat at in the evening? do you know how far it is from earls court? thanks emma Edited July 14, 2010 by Too Tall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heather Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 (edited) Are they both separate buildings? I don't know which building I am staying in so don't know where I will go to "check in" Edited July 14, 2010 by Too Tall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Showmasters Admin Too Tall Posted July 14, 2010 Showmasters Admin Share Posted July 14, 2010 All please don't name the crew hotel here on the forum. We prefer that the public do not know where it is, we've had some issues in the past with people trying to sneak in and take crew rooms. We will be getting an email out to you all as soon as it's confirmed to US which hall you are in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minshy17 Posted July 14, 2010 Author Share Posted July 14, 2010 (edited) ah i've now had to book coach as there are no parking facilities and the coach fare has doubled since i checked yesterday Still £20 return not too bad Is there going to be a crew bus to the venue from the hotel? I looks like 2 miles away or am i being a geography biff? *EDITED* Please do not use disparaging remarks, even in jest. Thankyou.

Moderators DavidB Posted July 14, 2010 Moderators Share Posted July 14, 2010 It looks like a 25 minute walk or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heather Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 25 min walk early morning doesn't sound nice lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kel Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Can always get the tube if needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heather Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Can always get the tube if needed Yep, think that is what I will be doing then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerrysgirl Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 You'd be better off grabbing some other crew and filling a cab and travelling that way. The tube will cost you £4 each way. £8 per day!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrazyKid197 Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Not if you have an Oyster Card! Though 25 minutes? That's nothing. I will be walking and saving the cash. Kip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

talie Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 I'm so confused it doesn't take a lot to tell the truth. I've not had the second email yet but I can get that off my room buddy, are we walking to the venue then? I am gonna get so bloody lost, my sense of direction is terrible!! And i'm too poor to afford tubes lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrazyKid197 Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Andy - :) I'm special. And also do the 7 mile round trip into the city centre on a relatively regular basis to try and shift excess flab. This isn't really that bad! Talie - everyone is free to do what they want. Some will probably get the tube or a taxi, some will walk. It's up to you.

Moderators DavidB Posted July 15, 2010 Moderators Share Posted July 15, 2010 It has always been a case of as long as you're there on time, it really doesn't matter how you get there At MK, people only stayed across the road from the shopping centre and still got lifts in sometimes, so everyone's different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators etmuse Posted July 15, 2010 Moderators Share Posted July 15, 2010 If there are people walking back after the event on Saturday, I'll probably walk with them and decide from that walk whether to walk in on the Sunday morning or take the tube... (Unless it's tipping it down, in which case I'll probably tube it...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
