Help me get into central London !
Discussion
Right, coming from Sheffield I want to go to London Lambeth North tube station for 10:30am.
I have an option of leaving the car in Welwyn Garden city for free and a lift to the train station there.
Or I can park somewhere and get the tube in....
I will go down on the A1 or M1 is an option, am I better of going a day early and staying in Welwyn..?

These are the directions to London, listen carefully ok?
By Foot: Buy a map, find out where you are and where London is. Start walking, you might get there in a few weeks.
By Car: Drive towards London, when you see a sign saying "Drive down this road to get to London" go down that road.You will then reach London
By Train: Go to a Mainline Train Station and by a ticket for a Train that goes to London. Get on the Train and wait for a little bit. You might have to get off that Train and get on another one. Aventually you wil reach London.
By Bus: Go to a City Centre Bus Station and look at time tables for buses to London. Wait until the bus you need arrives and get on the bus. You will aventually arrive in London.
It you want to charter an airplane or helicopter the process might differ slightly but aventually you will need to use one of the above to get to where you are going.

Go with the Welwyn option.I have an option of leaving the car in Welwyn Garden city for free and a lift to the train station there.

Any closer than that driving and you'll get stuck in the wonderful traffic jams. Trains from Welwyn are 20 mins or so to Kings Cross if you get a quick one (not one that stops at every bloody stop like I normally manage...).
Other places I've parked in the past have been round the corner from Colindale tube station (near top of northern line at bottom of A1M).
[smug]Nowadays I just drive in and park at our office in Paddington and walk 100yds to Paddington station.

It would appear that PH is lately being used as an alternative to common sense for quite a few people.
I thought your reply was both informative and entertaining. Definitely not horse s

How do some people make their way through life, it makes you wonder sometimes.
And do you seriously think you have to leave a day early to get to London for 10.30?

Elstree & Borehamwood on the midland can also be used and is just off the M1. It is the furthest out station where you can use a london zone ticket. My brother and I used to park there years ago.

Get the 7:27 train from Sheffield and arrive at St Pancras at 9:34
Take Victoria line to Oxford Circus change to the bakerloo line to lambeth North.
Should get there just after 10.
this is the correct answer - the trains from Sheffers to London are of a decent standard and not too pricy if you book in advance - sometimes 1st class is cheaper than 2ndTake Victoria line to Oxford Circus change to the bakerloo line to lambeth North.

Stanmore, on the Jubilee Line (that's the Silver one), is easy to get to from both the M1 and A1. Then straight to Waterloo and change onto the Bakerloo Line (that's the brown one) and on to Lambeth North, easy.
You'll need to pay for parking at Stanmore unless you can find some off street nearby.
