For people who don't know London, this is the one you're most likely to need to watch out for:

If you are coming from Euston you will need to find an alternative route - see bus routes listed in post #1.


Alternatively from Euston if you do prefer to get the tube, take the Victoria Line and change at Oxford Circus onto the Bakerloo Line. It is a very easy change - you just get off the Victoria train and walk across to the next platform (a 20 second walk!)

Hmmm, I'm coming into Waterloo station, and was planning on walking - except the current forecast for Saturday is for heavy rain :rolleyes:
With the northern line closed... I'll be getting wet

TKP - the Bakerloo Line also runs from Waterloo to Charing Cross

Ah, thank you for that! I will walk if possible, but if it is raining I will take the tube. I don't know London very well (as you can tell...:o )

TKP - another idea, and one that will save you a return tube or bus fare - at Waterloo you can go over the walkway to Waterloo East where there are overground trains into Charing Cross every couple of minutes (and they only take 2mins)

And because your rail ticket from home probably says "London Terminals" rather than "London Waterloo" as the destination, it won't cost you any extra.

Oooo, thank you! So many options I might not get there now - I'll be stuck at Waterloo trying to decide which one to take :rotfl: Never done an overland train in the Big Smoke before - might have to be that one as a choice!

Waterloo East is easy to find from the Waterloo concourse, you go up an escalator and over a footbridge, and all trains from platforms B and D go to Charing Cross.

Sorry folks I need to pull out, The baby not here yet (not mine, my client's!)and even if s/he arrives in time before Saturday I will prob. be too knackered for wanting to go out!

Enjoy yourselves, see you at the next meeting!
