Knowing the local authorities, I suspect a room at the Dorchester would be cheaper than pitching a tent in a public park :)
-
Whats the deal with parking at the Vic? I live local enough that i dont need to stay so would rather drive.
-
Yeah, they have a basement car park which is large and members can park there.
-
Don"t forget the congestion charge....it"s a lot of money if you do!
-
I got a hotel in Barking, which is about 12 miles from the venue for £90 for 3 nights for 3 ppl!
-
What time are the events likely to start and finish? Trains could be an option they are likely to finish before 1.
-
Start time is 2.30pm, probably finish about midnight at a guess. Vic has valet parking I think.

yes the car park is free...but is inside the Congestion charge (just!) so beware. (NO congestion charge Sat and Sun.

Is anyone else staying in the Cardiff Hotel?
-
Booked in the Royal Norfolk Hotel. £75 double. Doesn"t look very royal, it will keep the misses happy though.

hmmmmm me thinks I sense an air of cynicism today :)
At least this one is within walking distance of the venue!! :-\
-
I"m in the Umi, looks pretty standard but got it for £100 for 2 nights and it"s only about 2 tube stops away.
-
To anyone that is just after basic (but acceptable) accommodation you certainly shouldn"t be paying much more than £50 a night. In fact theres probably single room accom to be had for less than that if you shop around or get a laterooms type of deal.

12 miles in london is like 100 miles anywhere else.dont even think about driving to and from the vic. tube is only option.

Just been checking out hotels near Vic online and came across hotelclub site - http://www.hotelclub.net/hotel.reservations/London.htm#recommended (http://www.hotelclub.net/hotel.reservations/London.htm#recommended).
Those listed below were the ones I spotted reasonably close to Vic and less than £60 - also heard the LSE has opened its halls for the summer at reasonable rates but havent checked it out coz already booked a place via the website... just hope the hotel honours the voucher now.

Im seriously considering driving. Is it going to be as much of a nightmare as everyone suggests?

Driving from where? I wouldn"t chose to drive into central London at all. Maybe drive to a station on the outskirts of London and then train/tube in. That might make sense.

Have to agree Dan. Don"t forget you will have the Congestion Charge to contend with if you are playing Wed-Fri £8 per day. (no charge on Saturdays).
I live in West London and luckily for me within a 5 minute walk of the mainline into Paddington. 15 minute walk from Paddington and I"m at the Vic. Getting home if I go deep????? Bridges and cross them comes to mind.

It appears last train from Kings Cross to Cambridge is now 12.40am so it shouldnt be a problem travelling on the tube.
Does anyone know what time it will finish on the Saturday?

A late finish isn"t something you need to worry about is it, Paul? ;D
I"d assume, much like most APAT Nationals, Day 1 will finish around 1 am.
