Lolpet Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Travelling down from Fife in Scotland on the Friday. Original plan was to do bit of sightseeing in London then Warner Bros Harry Potter tour on the Monday as part of daughters birthday present. Then saw Lfcc, she is a huge Marvel/Dr Who fan, so now we are coming on the Friday, and as a further birthday present she gets to meet Stan Lee too. Now I am just as excited as she is, cos some of the cast of Heroes are going to be there too, although bit disappointed that Giancarlo Esposito has cancelled. :-( I'm still thinking about madame tussauds on the friday afternoon for the marvel stuff.Is there much to see? Think train arrives at Kings Cross at ten to three, so not much time to get to our hotel and back to LFCC on the Friday, but I could take the girls over the weekend if it was worth a visit.:-) I've never been, but there probably is. I ended up getting a ticket to see wicked as I've always wanted to see a show in London and hear it's very good I am obsessed with Wicked. Go every year with my daughter. If you go this year, you get to see one of the most amazing leading ladies in musical theatre in the role of Elphaba! We are planning to go to a show on the Sunday, but going to book on the Saturday at ticket booths so who knows what we will end up seeing? Girls fancy Matilda - eldest is a huge Tim Minchin fan.:-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevie_g Posted June 5, 2014 Author Share Posted June 5, 2014 I'm from Belfast, so as always its a flight to London, then train from the airport, then a tube, then walkies to the hotel,, quick drop off of the luggage then a gentle sprint to the queue:) I'm really looking forward to the whole weekend, oh and i'm wearing my Captain Chaos cosplay again:) Awesome! I might need a photo of that if you don't mind :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
