Can anyone tell me how far away Feline Guitars is from the City center?

It's probably the best part of 10 miles as the crow flies, but you can get a train to Croydon from Victoria or London Bridge which takes about 15-30 minutes depending on which route you take.

There are three stations in Croydon - East, West and South Croydon - all in walking distance from Feline Guitars.  I usually go to East Croydon, which probably also has the best and quickest train service from cental London.

What Philly Said.......

Victoria - East Croydon is 17 minutes on a fast train
London bridge - East Croydon is 15 minutes on a fast train
You can use Charing Cross but you have to just get a train to LOndon Bridge and change there for East Croydon

I tend like Philly to use East Croydon as it has more services going there
The walk from East Croydon is about 10 minutes or 3 stops on a bus (119/466/312)

We are a custom shop/repairer , although we do have our own stock - although we don't have a showroom with all our guitars out on display (much to my own frustration - we'd be really dangerous if we did!)

However we do make Forum guys very welcome!




That last line is very true- always a great place to go.

The one thing that I liked about the old London Guitar Shows was having all my guitars out and on display

I may have more of a problem keeping enough guitars built to keep the showroom full.




Aww... he looks so "special" in that picture....

The V is up for a great price - if I had the cash I'd consider it.

Sadly, I don't have the cash.  :(
I think I hate being indecisive.

By the looks of the schedule, and in regards to where we're staying it looks like i'm gonna have to skip visiting the Feline shop :(

However, I'll be taking a stroll down Denmark street tomorrow and see it properly for myself while the missus goes clothes shopping for a few hours. I will of course post a detailist report of my experience once I get to a computer. I'm typing this from my iPhone and it is HELL writing on this cursed thing!U

Please do, I'm heading down for the first time next week.
It wasn't a mistake, it was chromaticism, I swear.

Well, I was there as you know. Quite a few guitars caught my eye, but DAMN MY FINANCES for not being to buy any :(

Not even that dirt-cheap but really, really Westone Paduak I they had in Wunjo's.
