      Wifi, phones

      London 2 hours ago

      Trip to London is almost here and I've got a couple of questions

      I've booked at a hotel without free wifi, we'll be staying near Westminster/Waterloo. Any place nearby with free wifi? Or are there some chains that have it? I think I've read McDonald's does as well as Caffe Nero and Starbucks.

      My niece wants to be able to call people she knows in London and her US phone I suspect charges a lot, I've read about getting a throwaway phone, where would be the best place to do this?

      That's it, I won't ask about the weather, what shoes to bring or for you to review my itinerary (mostly because you'd tell me I was trying to do too much!)

      Best Tourist route round 'Cornish Alps'

      Cornwall 20 hours ago

      I would hate to drive round the china clay area, near St Austell, not know where the best vantage point was for photographs. I have looked at some spectacular photos in books but they don't say exactly where they were taken or if there are any access restrictions. Can anyone help?
      Also, is there more than one access road (gate) to the Eden Project or does everyone have to approach from the same side?

      United Kingdom Yesterday

      Hello

      Before booking a round-trip from London, I was wondering if there were nice sights on the way from Oxford that I should check while riding a bicycle.

      Oxford is about 60km from London, and I can always catch a local train back to the city somewhere if needed.

      Can anyone recommend some excellent accomodation near any of the lakes? We visited Bowness-on-Windermere briefly last year and were enchanted.

      Budget is a consideration & self catering is fine, but our main desires are cleanliness, scenery and hopefully the likes of a rustic log fire!

    • Meeting up at Heathrow after customs

      Heathrow 19 hours ago

      I apologize for re-posting this question but I am a newbie and I don't know how to remove my first question.

      I don't think that I was very clear in that query. Please let me try again. I am landing on a BA flight at LHR Terminal 5 on Sunday mid morning. A friend, who is also flying BA, is expected to arrive at LHR Terminal 5 a couple of hours later.

      Is there a comfortable place (with luggage in tow) that I can watch the screens to see the status of her flight and wait for her to clear customs we can then meet up so we can then proceed to the Heathrow Express?

      Thanks everyone for your patience!

      Eurostar ticket advance purchase London Brussels

      London 12 hours ago

      Other VT's have advised to purchase Eurostar tickets in advance for trips for example London Brussels changing to Amsterdam. How much time in advance is recommenced to get a good price? We are now looking at 3 months from now/May 26st. Also there are 4 seniors traveling together, if that makes any difference. In Brussels changing trains to Amsterdam, there is 15 minutes between trains, does that seem like enough?

      Nice hotel near Cardiff train station but not so close that it's noisy.

      Cardiff Yesterday

      Can anyone recommend a modern hotel near Cardiff Central station but nevertheless, quiet? I'm coming in August for one night, to visit the Dr Who Experience, but I think the hotel would be more conveniently placed near the station, rather than near the Bay, as after visiting the exhibition it would be more useful to be in the city centre.

      Three Day Trip To Scotland ?

      Edinburgh May 7, 2013 at 3:01 AM

      Hi , I'm going to be in England this summer for a summer camp and I was thinking about visiting Scotland but I'll only have a weekend to do this trip. I was planning to take a train from London to Edinburgh on Friday and come back on Sunday. But I'd also like to see Highlands as well, so is it possible for me to take another train to Inverness from Edinburgh after a day in Edinburgh ?

      To sum up I'm planning :

      -London-Edinburgh [ Thursday afternoon via train (It's 4.5 hours I guess ? ) ]

      Friday : Edinburgh

      - Edinburgh-Inverness [ Friday night via train ( 3.5 - 4 hours ? )

      Saturday : Inverness ( Loch Ness? , Cawdor Castle? , Highland Wildlife Park?, Eilean Donan Castle ? )

      - Inverness-London [ Sunday morning via train ]

      So what do you think ? Is it possible ? Any suggestions ?

      ( by the way I'm 16 years old and going to get a BritRailYouthPass )

      Northern Ireland May 1, 2013 at 7:24 AM

      Hi, I am a single mother to a 4 year old boy and i would love to move to Ireland. My Grandads parents were born there and he visited Ireland when they left and he always said i should go! So ever since i can remember i have wanted to live in Ireland. I currently live in Blyth which is near Newcastle and i hate it here. I would love somewhere that has a decent school so my son could have a good education and that is walking distance from a town etc so i could find work (which is hard to find wherever you go) I don't want to be in a big city like Newcastle, the population of Blyth is 35,818 which is the kind of size i would like to move to. I am looking for a fresh start in life and i have always wanted to live in Ireland and would love my son to grow up there. I have read a lot on different forums and some people ask about religion etc but i don't really think its a problem anymore according to what i have read from other people. I would really appreciate any information i can get as i really want to choose the right place. Also if there is anywhere that i should not move to i would appreciate the feedback on that as well. Also if i wanted to go out of the UK and move to the Republic Of Ireland what would i have to do?

      We're going to rent a car in England and this time would like to use the friendly navigation voice. Renting one with the car is another £60 or so per week, so we're thinking of buying a new one here in Germany and taking it with us.We have to get a new one anyway and will make sure it has all the British maps , but I'm not sure it it will work. Are they compatible? The ones here are stuck in the cigarette lighter, is this the same in English cars?
      That's probably a stupid question, but I never paid any attention if there is a cigarette lighter in a car or not.
