Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
Sitting in Trafalgar Square in the sunshine today listening to a string quartet of buskers while red buses and police cars with their sirens on roared by. Before visiting St Martin's in the Fields church and the National Portrait Gallery free of charge. London, I love it.

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
Funny you should say that. I am booked on the St Pancras station tour on the Saturday followed by the St Pancras Chambers tour...

Smile of the day - What is yours?
Quote:
As part of the same thing? Pictures of everything please and a full review. Are you going to stay in the St Pancras hotel? Probably a bit excessive from where you are but it is very nice indeed, if a little pricy! Where is the "jealous" emoticon... |

My tip for next year if any of you are interested is pre-order the guide and get your requests in for the bookable events as soon as they open. Last year I left it a bit late and missed out but there are plenty of places you just turn up for.

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
I stayed at St Pancras hotel a couple of years ago and wasn't that impressed. The foyer was beautiful but get past that and it was just another Marriott but with smaller than average rooms. Like all Marriotts the beds were really comfy, though my sleep was somewhat spoilt but the extremely drunk cricketer snoring loudly in the other bed and I didn't actually get to bed until 4am!
I was lucky enough to get a behind the scenes tour of HMS Ocean when it was at Greenwich for the Olympics, that was special. Unfortunately I'm always working open house weekend.

Sorry, my question was rather ambiguous. I meant to ask whether your trips were part of Open House day. Is it the hotel you're seeing or the station? My parents did the hotel tour and said it was wonderful. |

St Pancras International Meet at special assistance meeting point (next to Starbucks) Euston Road, N1C 4QP, London, England A unique Grade I listed Victorian railway station completed in 1868, with the original station hotel following in 1873. After a 800 million transformation, St Pancras International, home of HS1, has redefined railway stations for the 21st Century and is a destination in its own right. The tour will include an architectural history of the iconic station.

What are you always doing on that weekend then? I've not seen Lords pop up in the guide before or have I missed it?
