Here's another one:

I think it's very close to the tube station (on the Piccadilly line )

It looks like..." If wet, in the British Museum! " :)

Plannned engineering works on Sunday, not involving the Russell Square area.

The Jubilee line around Wembley for those with hotels in that area is suspended but there are other lines to come in on. You just might have to change lines a bit more or take the scenic route on the replacement bus, but it's all good!! You get Jaffa Cakes and Cornish chocolate chip cookies at the end!! :)

Hey everyone :)

Some people have been discussing a coldplaying.com meet up on Sept. 20th, 2009 (Sunday) somewhere in one of London's various parks in one of the Wembley threads already.

We thought it was fun to meet up after the concerts and maybe have more time to get to know each other and talk about the previous concerts, as most of us probably queue up on different sides of the stadium due to general admission/seating tickets.

We know that not everyone will be able to participate due to early departure times on that day aso. but we reckon that most (overseas) visitors will probably stay in London on Sunday as well. :)

Nothing is settled yet, we haven't decided on a park, nor a time, nor what to bring along (of course Jaffa Cakes :D ).

That's why I opened up this thread to point out to everyone that there's a meeting planned and not to spam the actual Wembley threads with it.

So who of you would be interested in coming along. Which park should we choose (Regents Park, Hyde Park?!??), what time would you suggest.

Food for thought and let's start to discuss :)

I will bring Jaffa Cakes from here and we have Rasberry & Cassis ones which are extremely yummy :D

[but a dream]

McVities Jaffa Cakes are my specialty :D

I would certainly try to make it if something was organised.;)

Good idea, although I prefer food for eating, personally!!:P

I will bring Jaffa Cakes from here and we have Rasberry & Cassis ones which are extremely yummy :D

And presumably you will be bringing several varieties of German sausage too!!:rolleyes:

[Mimixxx]

I should be able to depending on train times, I have work the next day...also depends what time Lori and Mel are leaving too, we're all staying together you see.

I guess best would be not to get too organised but make it an 'open' meet up for everyone interested in coming along.
Just fixing a time and a place and whoever comes round is welcome :)

Haha ... nah ... they wouldn't last until Sunday as I don't have a fridge in my hotel room ;)
But if you have a certain request for german food which hasn't to be stored in a cool place I will bring something along for you :p

[LittleMissMessy]

I'll bring me! :D
What an honour ... :D
The boss himself! ;)

Even though they probably stink, but we should all wear our yellow T-Shirts as well :D
And then take a picture of the whole bunch and send the photo to Debs :)

[Jayzo]

Yeah why not! I'll bring, well, ummm...... I have no idea.

I'd say Regent's Park, as its the same distance basically from the stadium as Hyde and people are more likely to know where to find us 'cos its smaller.

[busybeeburns]

it should definately be a Coldplayer meetup rather than a Coldplaying meet up - might attract one or two new people :D

[Mimixxx]

I'll bring me! :D

Just you? You gonna leave your lovely wife back at the hotel are you? :surprised:

:P

[busybeeburns]

she'll bring her! she's also just said that the concerts will be finished by 10.30 so there may also be a meetup straight after in the pub :D

[LittleMissMessy]

Edited the topic line already ;)

And yep, you're right :)
Hopefully we can spread the word closer to the date via Twitter and other people will come along too :)

Hopefully it won't end up in a huge tumoil :laugh3:

[Mimixxx]

she'll bring her! she's also just said that the concerts will be finished by 10.30 so there may also be a meetup straight after in the pub :D

:drunk:

[but a dream]

Mich is drunk already :surprised:

[Mimixxx]

Noooooooo :angry:

Well....I may have had one :shame:

:P

[Jayzo]

We just need to get Ian drunk at some point, get him to log on to Coldplaying via one of our phones, and then we can lock him out of his account :P.

[mc_squared]

I'll bring me! :D

:rolleyes:

[Jenjie]

she'll bring her! she's also just said that the concerts will be finished by 10.30 so there may also be a meetup straight after in the pub :D

erm no I didn't. I said the LCCC will be finished by 10:30 because of curfew. I have no idea about Wembley :P

[Jayzo]

Wembley generally has a curfew of 10:30pm :).

[mc_squared]

erm no I didn't. I said the LCCC will be finished by 10:30 because of curfew. I have no idea about Wembley :P

Are you two having a public "domestic"??:P

[kimgan]

the stadiums in UK have curfews? :inquisitive:

don't think i can make it, but i'll try to drop by if time permits...no idea what i'll bring tho.

[Jenjie]

LCCC does because the neighbours don't like having music concerts in a cricket ground. has to have a curfew to get the live music licence from the council.

I can kinda see their point. They're currently going through 5 nights of Take That, plus they had a very long soundcheck on the first day too.

[Texasluvsjonny]

I am in London til 23rd so I should be able to make it. I will be moving back into a hotel that day and would prefer a time frame sometime after 1pm if possible. I think Mel and Lori are both leaving kinda early that day. :\
As for the park, we not only need to choose one, but also a particular place to meet. Some of the parks a quite huge you know. :P We need to choose one that will easy for everyone to find and access.
Green Park is good because the buses and the Underground both stop on the same side of the park and it's pretty easy to find. If we all meet at the entrance across from the Green Park underground stop, then we could start walking toward the Palace and find a place in the park to set up camp. Green is not all that huge so even if some people got there late, they could probably still find us.

Hyde Park, I would avoid the Speaker's Corner end on a Sunday, unless we all want to argue with people. :P I would suggest Lancaster Gate entrance. There is a huge set of fountains just inside at that entry and we could meet there. I know tube service is available there, I'll have to check on what buses stop there.

Regent's Park I would suggest using the Baker Street tube station. Buses also stop there. It's block or so walk to the park, but pretty easy to find. From the tube station walk toward Madame Tussauds until you get to York Gate street and turn left. The park is straight ahead and once inside, to the left is a lovely pond. We could meet there.

As for as what to bring. I say BYOF: Bring Your Own Food. :lol:
For Regents Park, there are several shops at Baker Street station that sell sandwiches and stuff. Hyde Park, not much at the Lancaster Gate entry, so bring something with you. Green Park, there are some places to get stuff on the way in.

All 3 meeting areas I suggested also have public restrooms close to that part of the park.

[LittleMissMessy]

Thanks for all the useful information, Angie :)

I guess the majority should decide where to meet up. I have been to Hyde Park before but not to the other two so therefore I don't really know the location and how crowded it will be on a Sunday (depends on the weather as well).

Anything will be fine with me :)

[Lore]

:bigcry: I sooo want to go to the picnic, I don't care about the gigs :laugh3:

[LittleMissMessy]

:bigcry: I sooo want to go to the picnic, I don't care about the gigs :laugh3:

[Pris]

[Lore]

it's true!! I mean, probably I'll see a coldplay concert anyway, it's not the end of the world... but it would be so awesome to meet you all!


Pris!! I'd soo go just for the picnic :lol: (okay, and after that I'd go to all the Beatles related places in that lovely country :P)

[Pris]

We could stalk Abbey Road and the Bakery :wideeyed:

[Lore]

:bigcry: that would be so awesome :bigcry:

[Pris]

Yeah!!! :bigcry: :disappointed:
*Needs to stop spamming a thread she's got nothing to do with :shame:*

And btw. we have Beatles related places as well over here ;)
There's even a 'Beatles Platz' (= Beatles Square) at the Reeperbahn/Grosse Freiheit with some kind of sculptures http://www.hamburg-tourism.de/uploads/pics/02-Beatles-Platz-am-09-09-0.jpg.

[ilovechrismartin09]

:idea2: Woohooo :drunk::P
I'm sure we'll all be exhausted and stinky from the long looong day of waiting, but also super-hyped up, so it'll be a great chance to hang out and also whine down after the concert-high:D

Can i join you Lore??? We can just fly over there, spend the afternoon at the picnic and then fly back :wacko:
Awww, I so wish you guys could!!!!:hug:

OH, and yeah count me in for the picnic, did I forget to say that?!:P Early/mid-afternoon would be perfect for me, since I don't have to leave for the aiport until late afternoon, so I can hang out for a couple hrs before leaving. And it'll be sooo great to have that as an ending to what will surely be one of the most fun weeks of my life:dance:

[Jsalyers]

Count me in too:D:D

[CM]

hey! this is such a great idea!:D:D emma told me once that it would be fantastic if we could meet up in some place, and then this!!:D i would love to meet you all soo im in!!!:cool:

That sounds lovely!...I don't know anyone in London but will actually be moving there this September for school - would be lovely to meet new friends/fellow Coldplayers :)...and would look forward to trying the Jaffa cakes I've heard great things about!

[but a dream]

:lol:

I love how this thread keeps going back to Jaffa Cakes :P


One thing, do you think we ought to have the usernames appearing in the poll?

[CM]

:lol:

I love how this thread keeps going back to Jaffa Cakes :P


One thing, do you think we ought to have the usernames appearing in the poll?

this would be a good idea too, just for everybody to know who is who:thinking:

[Jayzo]

This is gonna turn in to some weird jaffa cake orgy isn't it :inquisitive: :sad:.

[but a dream]

Too bad if you don't like Jaffa Cakes :P

Why not just send Debs an official invite? Ian? Jenn?

[Jayzo]

Oooh thats a really good idea (as long as people don't harass her :P), dunno if she'd come though :thinking:.

[I]Why not just send Debs an official invite? Ian? Jenn?

That's a funny idea as well, but honestly speaking I highly doubt that she would be appearing, but if you never try you never know ... ;)
So once we have decided on a meeting place & time, we could send her an official invitation :laugh3:

[xxKels]

;)Somebody-quick-ask the Oracle if Debs is free that day.

[LittleMissMessy]

One thing, do you think we ought to have the usernames appearing in the poll?

Yeah, I thought it would have been nice to have the usernames in this poll as well to get an idea who was interested in coming?!

Maybe that can be edited or the poll can be started anew? :\

Of course that shouldn't mean to one is bound to come once voting in this poll ;)

[LittleMissMessy]

;)Somebody-quick-ask the Oracle if Debs is free that day.
*HAHAHAHA*

Or whether she is in London at all ... ;)

[Liam]

Somewhere near wembley would be good as thats where ill be staying for 4 days :)

[janturner]

I think meeting in the park will be sooooo cool wish I was over there thenxxx I would kill for a jaffa cake right now too lolxxxxxx Goodluck with it all it will be a brilliant weekend no doubt cheers Janxxxx

[kimgan]

methinks this should be posted as an event on Facebook too - once details are finalised, no?
that's one way to keep track or just see who's going or may be going.

[Mimixxx]

Edit :)

[busybeeburns]

poll restarted :)

[xxKels]

:sneaky:

[but a dream]

:lol:

Why the :sneaky: face Kels???

[xxKels]

:)i thought a poll couldn`t be changed like someone said earlier.

but i forget this is the Board God we`re dealing with:laugh3:

[Mimixxx]

It can't...that's why it has been restarted :P

[LittleMissMessy]

Just strange for me that once I have voted again I can't see who voted for 'Yes' and 'Maybe'.

When I was checking the results BEFORE voting, it showed that Ian and Min had already voted 'Yes'.

This is a little strange?!
Anyone having the same problem? :confused:

[Mimixxx]

I can see your vote Kirsten. And the vote for maybe too.

[LittleMissMessy]

I can see your vote Kirsten. And the vote for maybe too.
So are just Mods & Admins able to see who have voted? :confused:

But then again, when I entered this thread I noticed that 2 people had voted for 'Yes' and I checked the results and could see that Ian and Min voted with yes, now I don't see any names anymore ...

Okay ... unless someone is later able to keep track of things it will be alright :)

[blue_girl]

Oh yeaaah :dance:

Kirsten you need to click on the number of votes to see the names of the people who voted :D

[Clocks In My Place]

I'll definetely come, if a picnic is arranged! :cool: I'll bring me, my big sister and what we need of food and liquids. :D
Maybe a blanket would be a good idea too. :thinking:

she'll bring her! she's also just said that the concerts will be finished by 10.30 so there may also be a meetup straight after in the pub :D
Bummer. Why am I only 17 and have a big sister following me around? :dozey:

[LittleMissMessy]

Kirsten you need to click on the number of votes to see the names of the people who voted :D
Thanks Min *lol*
Didn't even notice that the numbers were clickable :laugh3:

So anyone got any suggestions for a park? :confused:
Angie did suggest 3 already, what are the preferences of the 'locals'?

Green Park, Hyde Park or Regents Park? Or any other place ... :\

[worldtrav]

I do like Hyde park, but obviously its rather big so maybe regents park would be a better option.

I might even come...LOL.

P.

[but a dream]

Oooh please do :D

[Texasluvsjonny]

If I have to vote on a park I would choose Regent's as it is mine and Jonny's favorite park. :D
Also a good choice because people could pick up their eats at one of the shops at Barker Street station.

If for some reason the weather is shit that day, I say a meet up at one of the bigger train stations. Victoria, Waterloo, or Liverpool Street all have plenty of room and places to eat. Victoria has lots of seating upstairs.

[but a dream]

Angie knows her London :cool:

[LittleMissMessy]

So why not just fix it with Regents Park then?!?! :D

And the idea about going to one of the major stations if the weather turns out to be all rainy sounds really good as well :)

[Texasluvsjonny]

So why not just fix it with Regents Park then?!?! :D

And the idea about going to one of the major stations if the weather turns out to be all rainy sounds really good as well :)always good to have a plan B ;)

[SueDeNimes]

Count me in, I'll be whereever we decide to meet!

[ilovechrismartin09]

im coming now yaay !!! my mum said i could xx

[Texasluvsjonny]

My other suggestion would be Russell Square.
http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w171/angie7581/52russellsquare.jpg
Is located near University Collage London, so has a Coldplay related theme.
It's lovely. :nice:
Small, so locating each other easy.
Easily accessible by both tube and buses.
Easy to find.
Has a cafe in the park, plus many places near by to purchase food/drink.
If weather goes south, we can walk to British Museum just around the corner.

[but a dream]

So many choices, we probably need a poll on the venue as well :P

[scusi]

My friend and I will come to wherever it is but we will have to catch a train back to Cornwall (from Paddington station!! ) just before 5 o'clock so an early/mid afternoon start would be great.

I'm sorry but I hate Jaffa cakes but i'll bring some Cornish goodies!! :)

[Jayzo]

I'm sorry but I hate Jaffa cakes but i'll bring some Cornish goodies!! :)

You are my new best friend.

Considering all listed above, it would be an ideal variant! I always dreamed to see University College London :rolleyes:

[beans]

Russell Square might be a good idea. It is much smaller than Regent's Park and easy to access by bus and tube. If we need something to eat and drink more or in case of rain, there are plenty of pubs and restaurants near there. Brunswick Centre near the tube station has a lot of shops including Waitrose? or M&S? if we need more. So what do you say?

[ApproximatelyInfinite]

I am TOTALLY interested, yet I have no idea whether or not I can go yet, so I voted "no" :sad:. It all depends what's going on back at uni that day in terms of orientation...because it's a Sunday, I tend to say "oh, there won't be much going on, I can totally stay in London during the day," but because it's the day before the first day of classes, I figure there'll be something going on I have to be there for (and I might already get my head chopped off for playing hooky on Saturday for the show, so I might have to save face by attending whatever mundane things are on for Sunday :rolleyes:)

[/long explanation]

If help is needed with organization etc, however, I could definitely lend a hand...I'll just then be SUPER sad if I can't make it :P.

[Kite]

Hyde Park is good for a party ;)

[Jenjie]

anywhere which doesn't involve too much walking to get to would be good :)

[Khalplay]

I voted maybe but I'll really do my best to include this picnic in my plan, I don't wanna miss it !

[airieslady]

Something easy to get to from Wembley area... since most of us are staying around there. Just my thought.

[busybeeburns]

we haven't forgotten about this one either! :D

[Mimixxx]

I need to sort this out...I haven't even booked my ticket home yet cos I'm not sure if I'm going to this :rolleyes:

Will get sorted this week, hopefully I'll be going :D

[ApproximatelyInfinite]

I got my timetable for uni and it looks like I don't have classes on Mondays, so if there's nothing that pressing going on back at uni on Sunday, I'm going to try my damndest to get to this! Like I say, though, I might have to miss it just to save face with my program coordinator :sad:.

I think what someone said earlier about proximity to the Wembley area is a good point, but using the Tube etc, it's really not hard to get to Russell Square that Angie suggested...

I'm going to be in London for a month before this gig, so I'll try to scope out some other places if we feel we need more options :smiley:.

:dance: :dance: :dance:
Means no more worrying about whether or not you can come to the concert as well??
I read it as that, so --> :dance: :dance: :dance:

:hug:

[ApproximatelyInfinite]

Haha, well not NO more worrying, no, but I'm more confident than I was before. My registration appointment (the most important thing of orientation) is scheduled for that Friday, so my Saturday *appears* like it'll be less vital for now, but I don't know exactly what IS scheduled for Saturday. All I know is that the most important thing will be out of the way (because I basically COULDN'T miss that). As long as there's nothing else absolutely vital that Saturday, I'm playing hooky, so I'm likw 90% sure I'm going, I guess. I just hope I'm not brutally punished for it later :P.

[kimgan]

don't think you need to worry too much about Saturday. i think the important orientation stuff generally only really happen between Mon-Fri & wk/ends would be more to socials, if any.

i just got my timetable for freshers' week (mine only starts on 28th Sep) & it looks like i've only got a lot of running around for registrations stuff & info sessions on the wk/days.

[ApproximatelyInfinite]

Unfortunately, not at my uni. Classes start that Monday, so all orientation has to be done before then, i.e., that weekend. I'm not saying every second of that weekend will necessarily be scheduled, but I wonder what I'll be missing and how vital it is, because something will definitely be going on.

Anyway, my mindset is I'M 90% SURE I'M PLAYING HOOKY, so things look good for the concert, though probably not the pre- and post- meet-ups.

*lol* i like your attitude!!! :lol:

anyway, got my timetable for Freshers' Week from my faculty & will need to retract my statement about how much time i have to slack off. i now have a full on schedule cos of a crash course i'm expected to attend which will be capped off by an evaluation test. oh, joy. :\

[LittleMissMessy]

So what about the meeting?

I will be gone by September 13th and don't think that I will be able to go online much (going to Dublin & Glasgow), so hopefully time & place will be fixed by Sept. 12th.

Should we go for Regents Park? 2 pm?
Too late? Too early? :\

[marianatsl]

hows the deciding going on here?
I already asked for my day off at work, so I'll definitely meet p you guys, wherever it's decided!!
:)

[Mimixxx]

My train home is 4pm (only one I could get for a reasonable price) so I'm thinking it's a no from me am afraid. :(

[marianatsl]

Awwwwww Mich :(

[Gitta Rensolo]

This is gonna turn in to some weird jaffa cake orgy isn't it :inquisitive: :sad:.

Count me in, too!:wink3:

Nooooooo....I won't be there, but it would be pretty cool to be there...:bigcry:

What time are you guys planning to meet up in the park?

[Dfit00]

Damn, after such a long queue I would be dying the day after the gig. You guys amaze me, you are all so hardcore. :D

[airieslady]

Has Regents Park been decided to be the place?

[ApproximatelyInfinite]

If Russell Square is still on the table of options, I can do some serious scouting, seeing as I live about three seconds away from there now. It's very nice and would do well for our meet-up, though I got very sick there on my first day here because I get sick every time I travel, so I find that a bit funny :P.

"...And if you look over there, yup, that's where I puked."

[Jenjie]

watching sky sports news yesterday & they gave us a helpful tip - the Chelsea v Tottenham derby game is at Stamford Bridge on the sun afternoon. so some tube lines may be v busy

[ApproximatelyInfinite]

"...And if you look over there, yup, that's where I puked."

Yep, that'll be on the tour I'll lead of "Old Coldplay Haunts circa 1996" as an added bonus. £1 extra for that special sight.

Seriously, though, this area is exactly where the boys used to live: Ramsay Hall where they all met is a very short walk away, as well as all their old classroom buildings etc (yes, I've scoped them all out and could show people if they were as nerdy as me). I'm totally getting a kick out of shopping at the same bookstores and Tescos and all that as the guys must have :wacky:. I think Russell Square would be perfect because of both the significance and the smaller size, much better than Regent's Park etc. As for the Tube, eh, it's like always busy :P.

I really hope I can go to this :sad:.

[Kite]

So anybody decided where?

[CookyMnstr]

And what about the time? I really would love to come, but by late afternoon I'd have to be on the way to the airport:\

[ariadnasquire]

i can't attend that one :bigcry: my flight departs so early :bigcry:

[Liam]

Im up for it but it depends where

[*Perrine*]

It isn't decided yet ? Anyway I'd follow you everywhere :D

[Jayzo]

I think its either gotta be Regent's or Hyde Park, both are bang in the centre of town, not that far from the stadium via tube/taxi.

[*Perrine*]

I don't know anything about London, so I only can trust you :D

[Jayzo]

I don't know anything about London, so I only can trust you :D

Wth is going on in the Wembley picnic thread :thinking:

Anyway... I'm glad to have a new family :hug:

[but a dream]

:escaping:

[Liam]

if i go, ill be going from the premier inn in wembley if anyone else using public transport!

[ApproximatelyInfinite]

AHHH, I think I'm able to go to this! My professor wasn't that mad about the whole Wembley thing, and I'm in the process of booking train tickets right now.

Do we still not have a place and time? I'm thinking I need to be on a train as of 1-2 PM at the latest, but my hotel is quite literally 2 minutes from Russell Square, so if we do it there around noonish I can totally pop by for at least a bit.

If we're still unsure of the final details, I put my vote in for 11ish/noon at Russell Square :D. Euston Square Tube stop is a short walk to Russell Square, which is on the Metropolitan Line, which is the line taken from Wembley Park Tube stop, so all of you staying near Wembley could easily come in one 30 minute Tube ride.

[LittleMissMessy]

So where do we meet now? We really need to settle all this soon, I am leaving for Dublin tomorrow and I guess everyone else need to know as well ...

So do we go for Russell Square or Regents Park?

[LittleMissMessy]

Okay, since we haven't made up a time and place yet I think I am going to leave all the Jaffa Cakes I wanted to bring along at home ... less luggage for Dublin and Glasgow ;)

I will surely check the forum and maybe there's something set short notice but I won't have Jaffa's with me then. :confused:

[CookyMnstr]

Noo Kirsten, bring 'em to Wembley! :wink3::wacky:

[Texasluvsjonny]

So where do we meet now? We really need to settle all this soon, I am leaving for Dublin tomorrow and I guess everyone else need to know as well ...

So do we go for Russell Square or Regents Park?I vote Russell.

[mc_squared]

I vote Russell.

I vote me (see sig).:rolleyes:

[LittleMissMessy]

I vote Russell.
Okay, let's set it for Russell Square then :)
And which time do you think would be best? 1 pm?
Cause some people are leaving later in the afternoon and the 'earlier' we set the meeting the more could maybe make it!? :confused:

And Angie (or Min) would you be so kind to organize this thing further, I mean, keeping this thread up and discuss it.

I would love to but I don't think I will be online much, esp. not from tomorrow, as my days are spend with concerts & travelling ;)

I will only get to London on Thursday, 17th.

Thanks :)

[Clocks In My Place]

Can someone sum up for me what decisions have been made? :)

[busybeeburns]

Russell Square sounds good. Wherever it is :)

[Jenjie]

Russell Square sounds good. Wherever it is :)

its near Euston.

but the really good news is the bit of the Bakerloo line that Stonebridge Park (Wembley Traveldoge tube stop) is on is closed for engineering works next sunday between the end of the line & Queens Park.

Will have to use Hanger Lane on Central line instead, but engineering works around tottenham court road area.


Just to make it even more fun, lots of roads will be shut for this:

http://www.londonnet.co.uk/attractions/skyride-london-2009

Good job we decided not to go for Green Park or St James' park in the end :D

TFL London site also suggesting the above will affect replacment buses navigating the tube closures.

[Texasluvsjonny]

All kinds of lines are closed this weekend. It's a cluster fuck and a half. I just picked up the keys to our flat...and it is slamming by the way.... and will go meet the girls at Euston tonight because Victoria line is closed and they may need my help navigating their way here. Russell is easy to find and the park is small so we will be able to find each other.

[tauiwi]

Would SO love to go.

[*Perrine*]

I would love you to come Alex :hug:

Aww I'm gonna be so lost in London :D

[Jenjie]

Russell looks great. central line seems to be fine because we can just walk from Tottenham Court Road. so only 1 tube and no changes :D

just looks like wherever you are in London you'll hit some sort of disruption on the way to the picnic! :dozey:

glad the flat's good. are you going to take the girls ot the Bakery with you every day?

[crazyduckette]

I probably can't go to this.... I was wondering where the thread for the pre-Wembley meet up was?
I'm being blind and couldn't find it, even when searching :/ lol!!

[*Perrine*]

Wow, russel park is at the other side of the city ! :stunned:

[marianatsl]

so, have things finally been settled yet?

[*Perrine*]

I'm not sure :shrug:

[airieslady]

Can anyone give simple directions from Wembley Stadium to Russel Park? Staying at Wembley Plaza hotel. I am lost already!

[SueDeNimes]

Can anyone give simple directions from Wembley Stadium to Russel Park? Staying at Wembley Plaza hotel. I am lost already!Have a look at www.tfl.gov.uk!!
There's a journey planner explaining everything.

It's easy:
From Wembley Park Station take the Metropolitan Line (purple) towards Aldgate.
Change to Piccadilly Line (dark blue) towards Heathrow at King's Cross St.Pancras Underground Station and leave at the next stop: Russell Square!

[coldpatrix]

And... don't forget the football match!

[SueDeNimes]

Btw... is 1pm @ Russell Square settled now??

[coldpatrix]

Someone could please resume the situation about this picnic (place, time)?

[marianatsl]

i think everyone is focusing on the whole queuing issue at the moment, until that's solved i doubt things will get settled here.

[Maltkvist]

Would be fun, aslong as it's easy to find since I can't find anywhere in London :p

[marianatsl]

hahaha, London is not that bad to find things. I'm hoping it will end up being at Russel Sq, since it's a smaller place and easier for everyone to find each other.

[Clocks In My Place]

Does anyone have an idea of what the cheapest way to get around is? I find all these tickets and day cards confusing...
My sister and I arrive to Gatwick airport the 18th (12:25) and leave from Stansted airport the 21st in the late afternoon /evening. We're going shopping on Monday, so we need to get around. I don't think we'll be doing much Friday (unless there's time for us to get to the coldplaying meet up at the Bakery?) and Saturday we only need to get to and from Wembley Stadium (a 40 min. walk or 1 stop with the tube). [/a little off topic]

[*Perrine*]

So Russel Square is perfect for me as it's not that far from St Pancras :P

Though I don't have any idea of the distances in London... is there a kind Londonian here ? :wacko:

[Lovers in NYC]

Anyone know what time we're meeting and where in Russell Park?...how would we find each other?...I actually haven't met any Coldplayers in person...but would love to connect,..now that I'm here :)

Any thoughts would be much appreciated! :D

-Soo

[Jenjie]

anyone getting the tube, please check out the link on the tfl page for planned engineering works as there are quite a lot of disruptions on Sunday.

Haha, well I'm a kind Londoner (although I don't live in London any more )

Russell Square to Kings Cross/St Pancras is one stop so about 2 mins on the tube or 10 to 15 mins walking!

[/a little off topic]Hi!

Buy an Oyster Card when you arrive in London and put some money on it.
No matter how much you use the public transport on one day, you never pay more than a day ticket (daily price-cap).When you leave London you can go to a ticket office and get back the deposit for the card and the money that's still on it.

It's a credit-card-sized card and with that you touch the sensors at each entrance and exit of the tube, you can use it for some rail services and buses of course too.
http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tickets/faresandtickets/2930.aspx

To get to Stansted: Don't take the Stansted Express but a Terravision bus (a lot cheaper):

[LittleMissMessy]

hahaha, London is not that bad to find things. I'm hoping it will end up being at Russel Sq, since it's a smaller place and easier for everyone to find each other.
... plus it will only be a small footwalk away from our hotel ;)

So settle it for 1 pm then?

[LittleMissMessy]

And btw. to make more people showing up ... I have brought over 4 packets of Jaffa Cakes (Rasberry & Cassis) :)

If the meet up isn't set by Thursday, I'll end up eating them all by myself ;)

[Kon]

Russel Square is easy enough to find :)

The tube station gets busy at times because it's lifts to the surface.

[SueDeNimes]

1pm sounds fine to me!

[Maltkvist]

Oysters.. Yumm..

[*Perrine*]

Haha, well I'm a kind Londoner (although I don't live in London any more )

Russell Square to Kings Cross/St Pancras is one stop so about 2 mins on the tube or 10 to 15 mins walking!
Thank you so much Carol that's perfect !!
I think I'm gonna walk, now the tube scares me :P

[beans]

Btw... is 1pm @ Russell Square settled now??

Think it's fixed, okay? Russell Square @13.00 sounds good.

[JereV]

Think it's fixed, okay? Russell Square @13.00 sounds good.

I'll be there with my friends... See ya! :cool:

edit: not sure if we can make it, but we try our best...

[busybeeburns]

It looks like..." If wet, in the British Museum! " :)

The Jubilee line around Wembley for those with hotels in that area is suspended but there are other lines to come in on. You just might have to change lines a bit more or take the scenic route on the replacement bus, but it's all good!! You get Jaffa Cakes and Cornish chocolate chip cookies at the end!! :)

[grisas]

2 more are in. We're from Portugal and we'll be staying @ Smart Russel Square (I think it's very near ;) ).

PS: We have 3 spare tickets to the concert on the 19th, so, if you are interested...

[*Perrine*]

I think it's not gonna be hard to sell them ;)

[Kon]

You still have a cassette player?

I do - a rather nifty Sony combo cassette/cd player no less!!

But I wasn't too well for much of today, I won't be able to be there tomorrow. Gonna miss you guys so much :cry:

[LittleMissMessy]

In case anybody reads this ... could happen that Iwona and myself will be a little late ...

We need to get something for breakfast first, until we start with the Jaffa Cakes ;) :p

[mc_squared]

I won't be attending as I decided I would need to chill out and recharge today (travelling in and out of London can be pretty tiring in itself).
I met most of the people I had hoped to. I'm sure I'll catch up with the others one day.
Hope everyone has a good time, anyway.;)
