Best tube route from Heathrow to the hotel? And best route from the Hotel to the Convention area.

 

Hop in a cab. Make sure they turn the meter on

 

- I probably got that guy fired.

To get to your hotel, Piccadilly line east to Green park then Jubilee line to London bridge then a short walk.

 

To the Con, Jubilee line to Canning town then DLR to Custom house.

[gaz2810i]

The Piccadilly line is the obvious choice and by far the easiest but I would also consider taking the Heathrow express to Paddington and then the Bakerloo line to Baker street and then the Jubilee line to London Bridge. It may cost a little more but will be a lot quicker, The Piccadilly line is a pain in the and has like a million stops.

 

The other way you could take to the convention is northern line to Bank Monument and then DLR to Custom house. Although I would most like take Daniels route.

 

When are you flying over?

I used this to plan a trip from my hotel to Chatsworth House in Derbyshire. Website will display maps and bus routes too.

How expensive would a cab ride be from my Hotel to the convention center. It says 5 mi / 15 mins by car (A1203) or 50 something minutes by public transport.

Whoops, I appear to have none of the above so far but I'm still looking forward to a great con.

btw I don't know if there will be an official announcement but David Lloyd will now be attending too.

He remembers that you were bringing along a six foot cheerleader like blond named John

[BitterOldMan]

Your comic show kit needs to include coming in full hand-made costume of your favorite super-hero.

[Celestial Comics]

So who is coming dressed as Stan Lee?

[DrWatson]

Some guy named Chandler.
