    Well, thanks to Merlin70, I will be staying at Stevenage on May 7th, Sat. After the airshow on Sunday, we intend to spend whatever is left of the night driving through London central, while spending the next day(Mon) at Hendon, or RAF museums. On Monday itself, we have to be at Dover by 5.30 for our ferry. So effectively, I only have slightly more than half a day on Monday, so timing is crucial, as well as travelling distance.

    So ideally, if someone could point out a town/place, near London central, so I can access the tube, and park the car, escape all the gridlock, and closer towards Dover. I’m finding hotels in London bloody expensive…., so is this too much to ask?

    Thanks a lot for all your help, it has been most useful. Of course, I hope to take some good pics to contribute as well.

    At the moment, I’m having a hard time picking a place far away London, yet well linked to the tube. I have a 6pm ferry to catch at Dover, so if someone could recommend a decent(GBP30+) accommodation, it would be great. The UK transport systems seems a little complex to a novice!

    I’m sorry for asking so many travel questions here, but you guys share the same interest and have been wonderful! Much appreciated.

    Thanks again for everybody’s help! Now, a couple more qns….

    How is the IWM and RAF museums in London? Are they worth a visit at all?

    You guys have been so helpful! Could someone who lives or commutes reguarly in central London email me? Some qns on driving n parking within London.

    Many thanks,

    Hi TC,

    I have booked a room Ibis Stevenage Centre first. Looks great, other than the £2.50 parking. Thanks for your help!

    Hi TC,

    Thanks for the heads up. I actually found a place near Saffron Walden that charges £48, but was wondering if anyone could come up with a cheaper place. I might be pushing it…. but where I come from, the pound is almost 3x my dollar! The YHA hostels would have been great, but all booked up….

    Anyway, thanks for your assistance,
    Derek
