Will you be studying here in the UK or is it for a visit?

~Cydonia~ · 06-09-2012, 12:30 PM

Thanks for the info. Rella, is it? Why didn't I think of looking it up on wiki? I just wanted to make sure it's not a sort of dodgy area, but it sounds lovely.

Amy, just planning to stay there for a long weekend.

I've been to London before, but wasn't that happy with the hotel, so I'm looking for new a accommodation.

The last time I stayed for a few nights in London was when I went to the Harry Potter premiere which was held in Trafalgar Square. Never thought I'd spend two nights sleeping there.

I've stayed in a hostel as well. It's definitely a hotel next time. I think I deserve it

Is there anything you wanted to do when you come over?

~Cydonia~ · 06-09-2012, 01:15 PM

I know what you mean. I stayed in Camden, which is a great part of the city, but the hostel there was not so great. Did you actually spend two nights on Trafalgar Square?

Which Harry Potter premiere did you attend? Did you see any of the casst?

My friend and I just want to soak up the London atmosphere.

Maybe go to the theatre, do some shopping (have to bring back some tea for my mom) and visit the typical tourist places. Most importantly though, I do no't want to use the tube during rush hour or spend the night at Stansted airport for the third time, because I missed the last flight of the day.

Are you looking for a hostel to stay in?

I'm hoping to go back in September for the screening of a episode of the new season of Merlin

I stayed at one in North London but I didn't really like it either. I've never been to Camden before; would like to see it.

Yes, it was fun as I met so many different people from the fandom who had come from all around the world. Would never do it again though.

Yes I saw most of the cast, didn't get to see JK Rowling though, apart from when she was making a speech. It was last July for Deathly Hallows Pt2.

Have you been to Covent Garden? I love it there. Oh no, that must have been so annoying, missing your flight.

Omg that would be so much fun. Hope you get the chance

Emrys, no more hostels for me, thanks.

I've found some decent hotels I consider booking. Two of them are in Clapham, that's why I asked.

Amy

It does sound like an interesting experience.

I saw a few clips from the premiere event on youtube. The speeches were rather moving.

Oh, Covent Garden. Totally forgat to mention it. I have go back there to buy shawls and jewlery.
