Travel to London

Anyone got any suggestions for me on the best way to get from Birmingham to Abbey Road studios in London?

I need to get there on Wednesday 23rd March for about 6pm but will be open to going well in advance to make sure I'm there in time.

Is Taylor swift in Abbey Road?
Cool.
Erm, no, can't help you though.

Much as I dislike public transport, I would catch a train to London and the tube to St Johns Wood station which is a few minutes walk away. At that time of the day it would take ages just to get through the traffic, and parking would be a nightmare.

My only regret is you didn't post in Crudcatcher.

Depending on how far you have to go on Boris Bike you can do it FOC as a casual user. Swipe your CC/Debit card and get your bike, ride for 20-25 mins and dock the bike you've got. Wait five mins then do the same again. They only charge after 30 mins but you do need to have a 5 minute window between uses.

Yeah does slightly redeem it somewhat

I wouldn't say I'm a fan of Taylor, but I don't dislike her either. If I was given an opportunity to see her perform live in Abbey road studios for free, then hell yeah, I'd have jumped at it!

almost, it's £1 for 24 hours access, any use after that is free as long as it's half an hour at a time.
