Be Aware that Chelsea are playing a Champions League game that night and when they lose the Chelsea/Fulham areas mightn't be to nice

I live in the areas Sarah and its genuinely not an issue at all. Now if it was Millwall.........

The pubs in that area(and, frankly all over the city as they would be in Dublin for Champos Lge final) will be rammed but having lived within a pitching wedge of Stamford Bridge for two full seasons (encompassing, thankfully, plenty of losses) I have genuinely never seen a whit of an issue

God yeah I'm not being precious at all - just in case somebody was panicking about being torn apart by a bunch of irate Chelsea pensioners or something!

Most shops don't open till Noon - head up to the KFC near there for some breafast, that will sort you out.

KFC? Seriously?
As I won't have the car this year, I'll be having a few scoops so staying in bed til noon sounds better to me.

Staying in an apartment near Marble Arch. Think we can get jubilee line from Bond St to Waterloo and train from there to Twickers on Saturday so should work out well.

Marble Arch is obviously where the cool kids are staying John ;)

Or walk down to Green Park (which is no further), get the Victoria Line to Vauxhall and hop on a train to 'nam from there :idea:

May be best heading for W'loo however. Just the slower stopping trains call at Vauxhall while from W'loo there is the option of getting the faster trains that only stop at Clapham Junction and Richmond.

SW Trains are laying on extra trains from W'loo on Saturday.

True, but the Windsor train only has one additional stop (Putney) than the fast train. To be fair, the slowest train (ie stops at every station) only takes about an extra 10 minutes than the first one. If you're in a rush, then sure, go via Waterloo, but if you're not, it's one of those things that's 6 of one and half a dozen of the other...
