I think your cheapest and most reliable option would be a train from
Farnborough to Waterloo, and a taxi from Waterloo to your destination.

Mike Hopkins? Have you just bought a new laptop, perchance? If not, don't
worry - you have the same name as someone I know!

Taxi to Farnborough, Train to Waterloo, Taxi to Mayfair... could be a little
too much. I'm planning on driving early down to Mayfair, and then getting a
taxi from a carpark to the destination or taking a short walk.

Bit of a nightmare, this London, isn't it?

Anyone who's tired of London has been there fore more then a weekend

Hey, I like it. I've been there for two years (although not at the
moment). Mind you I walk into uni so I never have transport woes. The
buses are cheap, the tube is cheap at weekends and I only drive in
London twice a year to take my stuff to/from uni. Living is expensive
but you're living in one of the greatest cities in the world. Be proud! :-)

Thanks for everyones advice, it's very appreciated and gives me a nice warm
feeling inside :P Seriously - I hope it's all worth it, this journey!

NCP entrance just off northbound carriageway of Park lane - huge
underground car park. get up to the surface and then hail a cab to take
you the last bit of your journey if you can't manage the tube with your
bags etc.

I think I'll do just that.

It's school holidays at the moment so probably not as bad as usual on
the roads but I would suggest leaving Farnborough no later than 7am.

I'm leaving at 5:30am. That way, I can pick up something to eat when I'm
there, without rushing.

I used to work on Hawley Lane in Farnborough!

Ahhh :) That's a big lane :P Farnborough's not a bad place to work at all,
really.

Expensive, smelly and (in places) v. dodgy!

I do like London for day trips out. The museums are hard to beat, and the
cafés, restaurants, bars and pubs are also pleasent around the tourist trap
areas. For work, it's probably the worst place I've ever had to work - and
that was just the suburbs!

Shall you stay, do you think, once you have got your degree? Husband
came over to do a Masters at Imperial about 30 years ago or more and has
never gone home (he's originally from Northern Ireland). I came after 4
years in Paris, also nearly 30 years ago (oh help!) and have never left.
The daughter, however, after 19 years in London fled to York and has
never been back!

I was born and brought up in London. I followed your daughter's course,
but got out slightly earlier at 18.

After over 25 years working in Cambridge I started working (part time) in
London in 2001.
