k, could someone post where i need to go and what i need to take to get there?

got permission from the boss, now i need word from ben and see if i can get other arrangements done here today, so i can go and pick up the tickets tomorrow. hopefully on time!!


Get the Gatwick express to Victoria Station and have alook at the tube map from there, it should be easy enough to work out.


Davey
the Gatwick Express is quicker but more expensive than the other trains that go from Gatwick. there are plenty of trains that go from Gatwick to London Victoria or London Bridge. You may be able to get a "one day travelcard" that will also lt you travel on buses and the tube as well and it may be a cheap option.
Otherwise you may have to get a travelcard when you get to London.

My recommended routes to Wembley

Train to London Victoria
Tube from Victoria to Green Park (Victoria Line)
Tube from Green park to Wembley Park (Jubilee Line)
Walk for 5-10 mins (turn right out of station and walk down hill, past Wembley Arena)

or

Train to London Victoria
Tube from Victoria to Oxford Circus Victoria Line)
Tube from Oxford Circus to Marlebone (Bakerloo Line)
Train from Marylebone to Wembley Stadium station (right next to Wembley Conference Centre 2 minute walk)
or

Train to London Bridge
Tube from London Bridge to Wembley Park (Jubilee Line)
Walk for 5-10 mins (turn right out of station and walk down hill, past Wembley Arena)

Hey here is the ultra simple and dirt cheap way to get form Gatwick to Wembley. All on the same train line with only one change and a bus.

Catch Overground firstcapitalconnect Train from Gatwick to Blackfriers Station

Get off train stay on same platform (if you smoke you can have one on this platform while waiting)

Get next all stations train to Hendon

Get off train @ Hendon

Get 83 bus from just outside Hendon station

Get off bus at just outside the door of Wembley  

This is most of the trip I take to Feline every other week so I've really got it down now.

http://www.firstcapitalconnect.co.uk/ - for train info

www.tfl.gov.uk/ - for bus info

Good luck and I'll see you there.

no, but abit of hassle. Would imagine will be searched at entry, gotta carry it around all day yadda yadda.
BUT, could use it to try effects etc. (always BEST with own guitar).
