17-08-2010 2:00pm#1Please read the section that applies to you, however if your travelling with me you don`t need to read anything
section 1 luton
section 2 heathrow
section 3 gatwick
Luton
From luton airport there is a bus service that will take you to the train station, the bus looks like this You can get it from outside the airport on the left as you walk out the revolving doors at the airport, its a free service that takes you to the train station.
From luton airport parkway train station you will be taking the train to hendon station. A single journey is 9 pound. However to save money you can buy a £2.50 ticket to leagrave which is what i always do. There are no gates at hendon and there wont be any ticket inspectors on the train or at hendon station. Buy the ticket from the ticket machine, tickets are £1 cheaper from the ticket machine.
If the gates are open and there are no ticket men at the train station don`t buy any ticket, just walk straight to the platform.
Remember to take the kings cross train heading towards london, but make sure that it stops at hendon, there is an express to kings cross, do not get on this train, it will not stop at hendon. Check the board to make sure your getting on the right train.
Once you arrive at hendon, come out of the station and cross the street, you will see a bus stop, its located right on the bridge, from here you can take the 83 bus to wembley, it costs £2, ask the driver to let you off at wembley central train station. From wembley you can get a taxi to whatever hotel your staying at. A taxi will cost about 6/7 pound to anywhere in the area. Call greenford taxis to come and pick you up, the number is 02071254652.
Alternatively you can take a taxi from hendon, using greenford cabs, a taxi to harrow will cost about 12-15 quid. This is probably the best option, its a little expensive, but its handy especially if your travelling late at night.
Heathrow
The best way to get to harrow from heathrow airport is in a taxi.
For the northern guys going from heathrow the best taxi service to use is greenford cabs, the local telephone number is 02071274652. You can call this number when you arrive and they will pick you up or you can go to the website and make a booking. The website address is http://www.greenfordtaxis.co.uk/Default.aspx
I got a quote for 9 people which worked out at 55-60 pounds. Thats pretty cheap for 9 people.
Alternatively you can get the tube.
Gatwick
I think kneecaps is the only person going from gatwick, ive already went over the travel details with kneecaps and he knows what hes doing, if anybody else if going from gatwick please speak to him.
If you guys need help while your in london call me on my uk number 07749555134.2

Cheers for the info Chunkis. Very helpful. I took down your number incase I get lost.
I'm heading out at 8:15am on thursday to Luton. Its Ryanair flight 332. Is anyone else on this flight? It would be handy to know so we split taxi's and stuff.
I had a quick look through the other thread and Hound, Ramza and dreddy are the same flight too. Is there anyone else also?0 -

For those who don't want to taxi and are travelling from Heathrow to the Crescent hotel via Train like Farz, Terry and me here are a couple of things that might help.
1: Route from Heathrow via Train
2: Map from Harrow on the Hill Station to the Hotel it'self.
Hope this helps those not lookin to get a taxi.
