I can't wait to see some of the big names in action. (and of course you guys!)

It should be a good day out, with all the fun of the fair.........

To tube or not to tube, that is obvious

Richard,
The nearest Tube station is (according to multimap) Tooting Broadway - at around 4.7 miles from the stadium, are you sure you won't be arriving by train?

either that or a quick taxi ride is in order I think.

See ya there dude

Right change of plan, I need to get the tube out of london, to Clapham Junction from there back in

Anyways as long as that is planned

So CP station is really near CP stadium then?

See y'all there

Have a look at this Streetmap page http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.srf?x=534165&y=170962&z=1&sv=534165,170962&st=4&tl=Grid+Location+534165,170962&mapp=newmap.srf&searchp=newsearch.srf

It shows CP train station actually on the edge of the park/stadium. The nice oval shaped bit in the central grid is the athletics track which will have 2 (grass) show fields on it & just above & fractionally to the right, touching the track, is where 2 of the Astro fields will be. Last year the staging area was in the building adjacent to this.

Only thing this map doesn't seem to show is the camp site, which is located somewhere inside the park. Decent venue or what!

Travel

My plan is to train it in to Padington, tube to Victoria, and then train it out to CP stadium. Taking full advantage of that fact that London public transport means that I don't have to walk much!

Thanks Liz

So the station is in fact all but inside the complex.

Hmm, via victoria, that might be a bit easier, don't have to get the correct district tube...

Station

Guys the station is not inside the complex! you have to come out of the station, walk a short distance to end of the street, turn right up the hill and the gates to CP Park are on your right. Then once inside the gates you follow the road down to the right to the stadium. Its about 10 mins from station.

See you there

(T)rain stops play........

Having a train come in to the ground would be a bit annoying......

But seriously, it is very close to the station. My Nan used to live in CP (the town, not the stadium!) and I used to walk passed it.
