My not quite but nearly 40th

Somewhere in London.

I'll be 40 in December but as that's a frankly shit time to have a birthday because everyone is skint, looking forward to the festered season and attending Christmas parties and that, I thought I'd do something in October instead. Partly because I can get a cheap room at a Travelodge then, granted, but also as it'll give me something to look forward to after my holidays.

Venue now confirmed (thanks to the Supreme Crow for suggestions).

How are you going down to London and when?

Where are you staying? Any hotels nearby that you can recommend?

(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Wed 15 Sep 2010, 16:08, Reply)

We're heading down on the Friday

and staying at the Travelodge in King's Cross, which is but a stone's throw from the pub, according to the map.

(

Davros' Granddad a voice of calm reason in a world of spastics., Wed 15 Sep 2010, 18:40, Reply)

I'll look for hotels around King's Cross; although we might head back to Worthing, but the last train is at 12.

(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Thu 16 Sep 2010, 15:14, Reply)

Ours was a bargain (£29)

Might be worth checking their site as they constantly have offers on. That said, I booked it months ago.

(

Davros' Granddad a voice of calm reason in a world of spastics., Thu 16 Sep 2010, 20:16, Reply)

I'm going by train.

I managed to find a travelodge room in Docklands for Â£35. I could have chosen somewhere more central... but the price won me over.

At what time I mean.

(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Thu 16 Sep 2010, 15:13, Reply)

I'm going back on the last train

Mostly as we're at home to Fulham on the Saturday and I don't want to miss it, nor do I want to travel back on a train full of Fulham supporters...

EDIT: Mind you, there's 4 rooms left at the Mabledon Court for Â£75 single / Â£85 double. Hmmm.

I'm using National Express.

They have a Â£2/3 each way deal going, the journey's not too long, and they're much comfier than standard coaches, with loads of legroom and armchair type seats. Cos I'm tight/skint.

Hey Mancunians

Applebite, Aberracion and I will be getting the 3.15pm train from Piccadilly which lands in Euston around 5.20pm.

I think we'll be joined by Noel and Psychochomp on the journey as well, so feel free to come join us if that train is applicable to you, obviously.
