    Anyone else?

    Might do some sight seeing and buy some over priced ale in the centre.

    Be good to see some tarn shirts out n about.

    Or buy me a beer at the Fox n Goose hotel near Hanger Lane tube station. I'll be the one shouting "how much?" Whilst at the bar and also be pointing at tall buildings.

    I'm at Premier Inn, Hanger Lane with family . I know a few other red fans that are staying at Fox n Goose (Omen).

    Just trying to work out my trains. Can get 2 adults, 3 kids from Wakefield to Kings Cross for £144. Bought a friends & family railcard and splitting the ticket at Grantham. Only just realised I've got a load of Virgin Atlantic air miles which I've just transferred £100 worth into Virgin East Coast train vouchers. Plus another £5 I had in Nectar points. So in theory, trains going to cost £40 for all 5 of us :) Contemplating upgrading to first class on way back for extra £32 (Grantham to Wakefield leg).

    Also going to dump overnight case at locker storage at Kings Cross after checking out Sunday morning. Costs £11.

    We always head to the pubs down the Strand, usually start at the Chandos and work our way along. Sam Smiths ales, prices pretty reasonable.
