Ok, so a contingent are off to see Hamlet down in London in a couple of weeks.
Show starts 19:15, running time is 3 hr 35. Last train back is 22:02. And actually looks like engineering works are planned.
Either way, travel home is going to be an interesting challenge. Being as it's central London, parking and car travel might also be exciting. So was wondering if everyone else who was going had planned ahead already?
There's not really a shortage of hotels in London, and driving may be an option. There is an NCP in Drury lane, for example.
I have the added factor of starting from Hampshire, so have to think about ending up in the same place as my car. For this reason, going Hampshire - London - Coventry may actually work out best.
Thoughts anyone?
Oh, and pre-theatre food?

If needed I can probably drive a carload down from Coventry and don't mind the idea of driving back late at night. I have no concept of where the best place to park would be though.

Food-wise, I'm fairly happy with whatever :)

Turns out there are lots of places to eat nearby, the only factors are style of cooking, cost and spare tables.

Places to eat in Central London are much more about deciding what it is you want, than it is about actually finding something :).

Well, I think I'm on the choice of:
Driving from Hampshire -> London -> Coventry.

Or driving Hampshire -> Coventry -> London -> Coventry.

Or getting the train from Hampshire -> London and back again, or perhaps ot Cov, but then having to figure out what i'm doing with the car.

It's all fun really.
