I only live about an hour away from London by train but that still means getting up mighty early!

Yeah of course, I'm in London quite often so it's not a huge issue for me, add me on Facebook if you want - http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=663975604 I'm sure we can sort something out.

I'm just concerned about spending like 5 hours waiting around, I've heard of people spending ages waiting for their interviews, and you're not allowed to take anything electronic in there. :/

Heeey.. Mine is at 12 on the 29th :D

I have a massive dilema, how long does it take to get to the Embassy from Paddington?!

Train prices are all over the place!

I can get there at 10.30 for £36.50 which is great! (Just not sure if that gives me enough time?!)
Otherwise I'd have to pay £84.50 to get there at 10.00 - half an hour earlier, or £121.00 to get there at 9.00!!

So can anyone let me know how to get there the quickest (I'm presuming tube) and how long it would take.

xXx

Its really easy to get from Paddington to Bond Street (which is the closest tube station), it should take no more than 10 minutes then maybe a 5 minute walk from the tube to the embassy.

Get a Zone 1-2 Day Travel Card for the tube from the ticket machines in the station, its £7 off peak (after 9.30 Mon-Fri, all day weekends) and £8.40 peak times (before 9.30). This will do you for any tube or bus journey you need for the whole day in Zones 1&2 (embassy and paddington are both in Zone 1).

Get on the Southbound Bakerloo line (brown) at Paddington, go 3 stops and change at Baker Street for the Jubilee Line (grey), and go one stop southbound to Bond Street. Get off and walk to the Embassy! (its a really short walk).
