    Just booked the Ibis Earls Court. Just a few quick questions for you London lads if you dont mind. What is the handiest airport to fly into in terms of getting to the Earls Court area once you arrive? And the most important question, what good bars is there around the cottage?

    only my opinion...

    I'd say Heathrow. Get Heathrow Express train (15 quid each way) to Paddington and the District Line direct to Earls Court.

    Next, in terms of ease:

    There's a fast train to Victoria from Gatwick and you can get a tube or cab to Earls Court within 30 mins.

    City Airport: trains to Bank, then District Line from Monument (station adjoins Bank Station).

    Luton: get coach to Victoria, or Thameslink train to Kings Cross, District Line west to Earls Court.

    Stansted: 45 minute train to Liverpool Street, longish tube journey to Earls Court.

    From Heathrow you can get the piccadilly line (tube) to central london much cheaper than Heathrow express.
    Stuttgart88 do you realise there is a recession/depression on or are you trying to spend your way out of it.

    True, but Heathrow Express takes 15 mins, the Picc Line takes forever!

    Yeah, I see Neil's point.

    Anyway, continuing the charitable theme, Paul - I'm watching Rovers vs Sligo in Corrib Rest on Friday evening (assuming it's on). Join me if you want.

    Naitch, just to let you know if your flying into Gatwick and want to get in on the cheap you can book an easybus online for 2 Pounds(Yes, JUST 2 pounds) that doesn't stop anywhere and drops you straight to Fulham Broadway Tube station. Earls Court is 5 minutes away from there by tube or if 20 minutes walk. The Gatwick Express only goes to Victoria and cost about 26 pounds aswell. Brogan's is a decent pub for match banter in Fulham Broadway but the Cottage is about half an hour walk away and is down on Putney Bridge, where there's way more variety of boozers custom built for pre match banter so just head there.
