Right, all, where and what time do we meet, glam did a map of pubs in the area, what do you think? or be at waterstone's at 12.00 looking intelligent ;D......I need 4 days and a bit to get my head around this ;D  I will probably make my mind up about coming down on Thursday night, once I have had the bad news about the train fare  Would be good to meet up   |

Not coming on my own  ). xj, you're Tube skills are needed again  What's the best route from Euston to Leadenhall? My train gets in at 11.29. |

I am still pondering logistics ~ I really want to be there though. Have you actually checked the fares with the station, glam? I had been looking at the national rail line fares online and they were very confusing That's why I thought I couldn't afford to come down. |

Thing to note - there are 2 branches of the Northern Line at Euston - make sure you get the right one!
I'm Central Line, shall we all meet up at Bank Station then? I don't know it well, except that there are several exits, any suggestions?

Thinking about it, there's a little open bit in front of the Royal Exchange, between Threadneedle St & Cornhill, if it's not freezing and/or tipping down, that could be a good place to meet up. Moblie Nos is also a good idea!

Lew was right - the best route is the Northern Line from Euston to Bank. Just remember to take the City (aka Bank) branch! If you take the Charing Cross branch, you'll have to change to the Central Line at Tottenham Court Road, which would be a bit of a nuisance!  |

If you go the other way, you'll end up in Edgware or High Barnet - neither of which are anywhere near Leadenhall Market!  |

I think they tend to signpost the Northern Line as "Via Bank" or "Via Charing Cross". You want the Southbound platform from Euston.

Many thanks for all the directions. I WILL get there, I promise Have no probs getting in the car and driving to the other end of the country (without Satnav, I must add) but the underground gets me totally confused. We will have to PM mobile numbers just in case ;D) |

Shall we exchange phone numbers now, then? I'm happy to PM mine to those who'll be there on Friday.
Also, should we address each other by our real names, or by our names on this board? It's obvious what my real name is, but I don't know anyone else's...! ;D
