Hi I can hlep you out with Train questions as I've been to londond before:

It run all the time usually a train 1 to 2 mins in between. It busy on the underground so take Water!
I think there a train to Cahlk Farm on the weekend (although i read there wasn't) but not %100 sure. You best buy a Visitor top-up Oyster Card You can use these on buses and train and on DLR (which i'm using) it work like a phone top up you buy the Oyster Card at

November VIP ticket holders had to be present an hour and a half at the entrance before doors, this may not be the case though. I'd go for an earlier arrival then just spend the day mooching around London, there's lots of things to do!


I'll be in London in any case, I'm there all the time any way. Family and friends to visit :)
Just wondering what time I should plan for and what pub to meet my brother in

There's a large pub opposite the venue as well as a few bars and restaurants, I stress people aim to head towards the Chalk Farm area. Camden Town Station is very very busy at the weekend and not anywhere near the Roundhouse (Chalk Farm Station is next to it). As tempting as The World's End pub is too; it's completely packed on a Saturday so don't bother.

Here's a link to the Visitor's Oyster Card page, it has all the information about the travel prices. I don't know if you can buy a Visitor's one in a ticket office (you can buy regular ones which allow weekly/monthly season tickets, but they're

Get Chrome. Built in spell-checker. No confusion.

In other news- don't get a taxi. That's silly. Get a bus. That's clever.

Night busses in London are always a massive source of amusement, if you're drunk yourself

Best night bus I ever got on was from Brixton to Croydon (those two things alone equals a recipe for lols) when I was about 15 and this drunk bloke with one leg in a wheelchair came on and just pissed everywhere. It was like 3am and we all had to get off and wait for another bus :lol:

To be honest though,

If you leave at midnight, it's a tube, DLR and a bus. If you leave at 00:20 it's two tubes and a bus, if you leave at 1:00 it's about 3 buses and takes 40 minutes longer. But that's normal, my journey to Chalk Farm is usually about 40 minutes, there's an extra hour on top of that via night buses which is hardly noticeable because the only times I need to get a night bus are when I'm coming home from a gig/pub and I'm either with a bunch of mates or too pissed to care.

You'll have PLENTY of time to get a tube. Station's right next to the venue as well.

PECKNAAAAAAM! I live in Carshalton, in terms of tube stations; that's right near Morden.
