Angalin Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 I just started a new thread for tourism-related things. http://asoiaf.westeros.org/index.php/topic/113000-loncon3-touristy-thread-where-those-who-wish-to-sightsee-can-get-organized/ Thank you. And thank you too for taking the time to look into the possibility of a private party; it's too bad, but que sera sera and all that. The ExCel party setup requirements will be enough of an adjustment to be going on with. (To be clear: not saying they're bad, just different than other years is all. :) ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamanthaofHodorsfield Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I've stayed in hostels loads of times as a lone traveller and have never had an issue. What hostel are you looking at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LessThanLuke2 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Also currently looking at hostels. Haven't had any money before now to book. How far away from the ExCel is everyone staying? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ran Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Sounds like most people who've listed hotels are staying at a con hotel, most of which are within a mile or two of the ExCel center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadwood Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 There is always this to go see - http://www.ica.org.uk/whats-on/tove-jansson-tales-nordic-archipelago for Moomin fans. They (whoever 'they' are) are making a big thing out of Tove Jansson's centenary. Loved the Moomins as a child, the stop motion programme, not the later cartoon.

Xray the Enforcer Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Seriously -- while it's convenient to have a hotel closer to the convention, it's not a necessity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mich Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 We are staying a mile or two away in an AirBNB apartment. Same. I found a shared flat literally across the street from the convention centre. Hotels were too pricey and hostels weren't horribly close, and still pricey. yay for the currency exchange... :eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCrannogDweller Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I'm staying at Woolwich - three miles and a brisk swim away from the ExCel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoë Sumra Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I'm staying at Woolwich - three miles and a brisk swim away from the ExCel. There's a foot tunnel under the Thames at Woolwich so swimming is never necessary. :) Though.the one time I used it I thought I was being chased by Cybermen...

TheCrannogDweller Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 There's a foot tunnel under the Thames at Woolwich so swimming is never necessary. :) But it is healthy. Though probably not in the Thames. :D And as I understand, there is also a free ferry there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theda Baratheon Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Yep. Finally got it all sorted! Mega bussing it up and got a hostel 20 minutes away from the ExCel :P Now that that's finally done with I can start to be excited!!! ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deleted01 Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Still looking for a hotel nearby, had no luck so far. We're paying about £55 for train tickets coming into London each day, so we might have to look for a decent hostel for one or two nights instead.
