438 forum posts 2 photos | Hi all I am planning to go to the London show and wonder about the easiest way to get from London Euston to Alexandra Palace. Is it simpler to go by rail via Kings Cross and change at Finchley Park or go by underground to Wood Green? Are there local buses from either station to AP, do they take cash or do I need a travel card? Is there a daily travel pass which would serve for all my local travel on the day, and if so how can I get one? any advice or information welcome. Thanks Rod |

1081 forum posts 39 photos | No I a normal slightly overweight 65 year old, at least that was last year. Just enjoy walking, looking and hearing, not like most these days that don't see further than their phone. According to Google that is 5.3 miles and around two hours, think it took me somewhat less than that. Also I felt the same as Chris, I had travelled down by train from Rugby. |

In the past I have had to make a couple of trips back to the car to lighten my load before the carrier bags cut off all circulation to my finger tips, I do walk up and down to the carpark. |

If you were thinking of going on the friday or Saturday, you could easily talk me into giving you a lift. Hadn't made up my mind whether to go, but would be happy to, since I missed Bristol and Radford Semele last year.
