for them as are in the UK (London environs)

I'm looking at setting aside a day while I'm in France to visit London (because, y'know, more than mostly there already). If you're going to be in town between 27 September and 9 October, and want to meet up, drop me a line here or via email...

(I'm looking particularly at youse, bellinghman and bellinghwoman)

Assuming you are taking the Chunnel, pack some snacks. When we did the reverse direction, the food sold out quick and selection was minimal.

Nice relaxing ride tho :)

I'm still wavering between the train (fast) and the ferry (nifty). I'll probably go with the trian, since it requires no transfers.

I'd recommend the train. It's also less susceptible to weather related delays except for extreme cold. Easier to get to in Paris as well.

BTW - Paris food rec when near the Eiffel Tower, Bistro Ribe, about a block away from the Hilton near there (with the caveat has been almost 3 years since I ate there)

Second rec, if you want to stay one night in London at a hotel, check out Hotel Indigo near tower hill. New hotel so very cheap rates to get people in ($169 per night for London when I booked a co-worker there 2 weeks ago)

I'm staying in Lille, not Paris.

Still not a bad lunch stop if you do the touristy thing for a day...

You do know that Dori's daughter is currently studying at LAMDA? Wave in her direction as you go by....

[lagilman]

well, that was...surreal...

The bellinghpeople are currently 300 metres above Hong Kong - or more precisely the New Territories - and are a long way away from our calenders and PCs. Can we get back to you in a few days?

(In principle, yay! We're 45 minutes out of Kings Cross, and would be happy to save you a hotel bill if you were wanted that, rather than the dash in and back from Lille.)

[lagilman]

hokay. E-mail me and we can discuss particulars when you're a smidge less jet-lagged...

[bellinghman.livejournal.com]

I have a feeling we don't have your email. (Mine is Alan.Bellingham@gmail.com)

3rd October looks to be the only day we are free all day and can actually get down to London as it happens, though I expect to be in London on the 2nd for a meeting, and would be free in the evening. If on a weekday, we can get down for some evenings.

[lagilman]

check your e-mail...

Depending on the day, I could hop on a train from Oxford :)

[lagilman]

That would be lovely -- e-mail me what days work for you?

[clanwilliam.livejournal.com]

Gideon and I should be around and would love to see you!

[lagilman]

woot!

[lagilman]

email me (or The Bellinghams) for further details...
