Title: Getting to Carpex
Post by: mark_roberts on September 21, 2004, 10:29:12 pm

How easy is it to get to carpex from London Luton, Stanstead or Gatwick and how long will it take?

I've never been to London before apart from Watford.

I could go to London city airport but its £160 more expensive.

Whats the accomodation like nearby.

thanks
Mark

STANSTED AIRPORT  10:15   Train   ONE RAILWAY  
LONDON LIVERPOOL STREET   10:58   11:15   Train   ONE RAILWAY  
STRATFORD LONDON   11:21   11:41   Train   SILVERLINK TRAIN SERVICES LTD.  
CUSTOM HOUSE FOR EXCEL   11:48

I can highly recommend Docklands Holiday Inn- 5 min walk from Carpex
Also, there is a bus running from Stansted into London (cant think of the station it runs into) £6 1/2 hour journey approx & tube to Docklands

Mark,
You are coming from Belfast, right.
We are coming up from the south coast on Thursday sometime by car. If you can get a flight to Gatwick on that day, I will pick you up on route.
Give me a call 01903 264342.
Regards,  Martin.
