A316 to the Hogarth Roundabout, then the A4.


Thanks - so what happens once I am cruising on the A4? Juts keep
going straight til I see signs for Covent Garden or what?


You will not see signs for Covent Garden. Mike Hughes gave you a taxi
driver's recommendation. Alternatively, you can go to
http://www.theaa.com/travelwatch/planner_main.jsp and get a more
straightforward route. Enter "M3 J1" into the From box and "Russell
Street Holborn" into the To box. Although the directions are quite
detailed, you need a good street map with you, preferably one with the
one-way streets marked.

I am willing to stop and park up somewhere if

1) its walkable from the theatre area
2) its quite an easy place to find once we are out of the cinema -
i.e we dont lose the car!!


In that case, follow Jim's advice about parking to the north-east of
Holborn station. Look it up on the map and/or get a route from the AA
site, but if you're not confident about map-reading in London, I
strongly advise you to follow advice to get the Tube to Covent Garden
from somewhere along your route. You can mail me for more detailed
advice if you wish (see sig).
