Silvia Bluejay Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Excellent post, Henry - you beat me to it. Olympia is quite near Hammersmith and Earl's Court stations, and a bus from either can do the trick if the tube fails to deliver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhk Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 [i]good post guys............................. it prompted me to check southern rail for sunday......................... and for some there are engineering/bus replacement issues...................... so check your operators regional websites for possible similar issues...............[/i] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 What's the parking like at the venue? I can't do multi story car parks so looking for recommendations nearby? ped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Hm, £26 for open air car park near the centre... might just have to do that, REALLY can't stand tubes/trains/buses! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvia Bluejay Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Parking in the whole of London is either near-impossible or daylight robbery, I'm afraid. Hope someone here has some good advice for you (I don't drive so I can't offer any help, unfortunately). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Turns out you pre-book the parking at the venue so I'll just do that I think. Waiting to hear how my mates operation goes and weather I'll be attending on Sat or Sun as a result. As soon as I know, I'll book. I think it's well worth the price to avoid the never ending trudge from train to train in the pouring rain. Nothing like getting into your own car after a long day at a bass show!! ped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvia Bluejay Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Unless you live around 20 minutes by bus from the venue and could, in theory, even walk home from there (I've done that before, in fact)... I'm among the lucky ones in this case. On the other hand, I'm in trouble when music events like this are held at Excel, on the opposite side of town - it takes me 2 hours to get there and 2 more to get home, and that's without leaving London...
