Another question

Is the ideal home at Earls court 1
or Earls Court 2
Or both?

Believe it or not the website is not clear

I'm thinking a train straight into West Brompton instead of changing at Voctoria for a tube?

It's not THAT much of a walk from West Brompton whichever bit of Earls Court it's in.

I agree, my sister is being a little "fussy" about it:rolleyes:

Is there only the one entrance on Warwick Road to it?
Is that the way in?

As Dzug said, West Brompton is right across the road from the entrance, about 100 yards door to door, served by tube and "normal train". We went last year,with Southern from Portsmouth, 1 change at Haywards Heath, £20 return for 2 of us.

Thanks it just years since I've been & I didn't know if EC 1 & EC 2 were different or beside each other or what.

Sister wants to get train to Victoria & get underground to Earls Court, but I'm thinking West Brompton is better & I hate the underground.

Well if you must, train to West Brompton and tube one stop to Earls Court. Or bus even.

The Earls Court complex fills the entire area between the Warwick Road exit from Earls Court and West Brompton station - there are at least 4 halls. I think 1 is the Earls Court End and 4 the W Brompton end.

The show is huge and takes over Earls Court, maybe your sister will change her mind if you show her this MAP, If you zoom in, + sign top right of picture, there is an entrance just across the car park, looks brown on the picture, this is like going in through the back door and should be quieter. The only possible down side is that there aren't many shops/cafes near WB station so if you fancy a bite to eat after the show you will have to look elsewhere.
