London trip (1 Viewer)

Most Brit fans are heading to the Green man in Wembley (off Dagmar Avenue). Also a great place for pre game hydration before the game on Sunday. http://www.colchestergladiators.org.uk/index.php?pageId=71

I've noticed that one and it is an option, especially since we're staying less than 10 minutes walk away, but to be quiet honest, I'd rather attend a party with other Saints fans. (snail racing is not really my thing)

We are going to the O2 either Friday or Saturday regardless of what else happens !

Anyone know where the team is staying ? It would be great if we could welcome them to London - it is afterall a "home" game

Check the forum on NFLUK.com. I think they have stated at which FC the team will be practicing. I am not sure where the team is staying though.

Somebody posted the Chargers info but I haven't seen anything on the Saints yet

If the LSU game gets a daytime (CBS) start then I think we can manage to watch it - last resort will be my laptop and a sligbox at a local bar.

If it's a night game that will be tough. It won't start until 1 or 2 am and only clubs will probably be open that late. That puts us watching it in a hotel lobby or something until like 4am. That makes for a rough Saints gameday.

Fair enough ... although i think you'll struggle to find a bigger football party, The Green man is legendary but good luck

According to this press release http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/article-1067109/Chelsea-lose-NFL-hosts-Arsenal.html the saints are staying at the Grove hotel, Watford.

The way my flights worked out, I can only come early on the day of the game and leave the next afternoon, although I'll try and pack as much in as I can.

I'm staying in Kensington, got a pretty good deal there.

 

[Bourbon]

I'm staying at Marble Arch...anyone have any suggestions for that area?

I heard that British Saint (the one with the pre game party tix) is going to set something up for Saturday afternoon in Central London

Got my tickets yesterday (They have a nice picture of Drew on the front) but also got the Tailgate tickets in the same envelope !! When I applied I was told they had all gone so it was a nice suprise !! 14 dats and counting !

They seem to have changed their mind about the way they distributed the tailgating tickets - People who applied within an hour after receiving the mail, have gotten no tailgating tickets, others have gotten fewer tailgating tickets than gametickets (how do you tell 1 or 2 people in your party that sorry we can go, but you can't ) and others like you have gotten tickets even though you applied so late that you were told they were all gone !!

There seem to be a serious case of %&/¤¤ at NFLUK/ticketmaster

Well you'll be across the road from Hyde Park then.

Your very central in a very expensive part of the city, Buckingham Palace is only about 5 minutes walk from Marble Arch, Houses of Parliament, Big Ben and the London Eye no more than a 15 minute walk.

Picadilly Circus, Covent Garden and Leicester Square are all next to each other and again about a 10 minute walk. These are the main tourist areas in the city.

Notting Hill is a short stroll to your West and a little shop called Harrods a similar distance to the South.

Your in a superb tourist area imo.

I am getting excited. We are leaving Saturday and I just found ou my hotel/apt in London didnt go through properly when I booked it back in apr. Now I have another hotel/apt. on order. I sure hope my tickets from tickemater uk will be at the will call with my tailgate tickets. I hate to have spent all this money and time and not have it go properly Especially since this is my sister's first trip abroad. Also , the SAINTS finally one today. Thank Godness!!

We are heading out the Tuesday before the game. We rented a house right near Camden Lock. Any suggestions for that area?

Leaving Tuesday as well - Staying in Wembley right next to the tube station

Thanks for the run down..that makes me feel good about my selection. Can't wait to see all the sights and then meet up with a bunch of crazy Who Dats!
