London info ?

Yo Folks,

OK bit of a numpty question if you know but I have to get a pillion to the American Embassy very early morning soon.

So have looked at Google maps and it seems there is no M4 junct 2 as such but it looks like there is an earlier exit onto the A4 which appears to run alongside the Mway to a roundabout where I'd take the A315 to Goldhawk Rd [A402] leading to A40 to Oxford St. then hanger right to Embassy in Grosvenor Square...

...is this right :-? no Congestion Charge for bikes apparently ?

Cheers

Try the train http://www.thetrainline.com if its a weekend you might be pleasantly surprised by a cheap fair.

If I was going on the bike I would go M4 A4 and turn left at Hyde Park corner, yep bikes are free from the congestion charge and there is bike parking at Grosvenor Square

It can't be Bin Laden cos they already got him - It's not Rupert Murdoch is it Col?

[jaagsxr]

good luck

[Col]

Thanks

Good to know about parking FJ yeah and looking at it now your way seems the best -Thanks FJ and Jaa I wasn't sure of the best route because there appears to be several.

The train ain't on the plan FJ as it's important to meet the time and it's on a Monday...assuming Ole 'Birdy don't go ping ;D

No Ken it ain't Murdoch--he's flown the coup after pleading ignorance . It's an important visa application at somat like 07.45 for PillionBitch 2 and her inter continental trips ----nowt uber glam redtop headlines ;D

Thanks again

If you need to know any more information on the visa procedure just ask, its been my job for the last 20 years and i'm at the EMbassy once a week! I know all the staff there!

[Col]

Ta Saph---all in order. Why do they start at somat like 07.30 hrs ??

[Sapphire]

people start queuing from 7am and its first come first served no matter what the appointment time. I'm there Tuesday morning 2nd Aug next, when are you going?

[Col]

Monday 1st so won't see ya -- :-? even if appointment is for 07.45 we could appear earlier to get the visa ? -that is useful to know in case we get there early
