I believe that timeframe will work for me - will have to wait for final verification a bit later. Now remember, I'm in England for a month - the GTG is just a PART of what I will be doing. I'll have two women to keep entertained, so not much room for carousing with a bunch of WISs!!!

Well,it looks like I'm not going to be able to make it at all!
I wanted to take a cruise out of Southampton and it'll be impossible to make it,too far from London!
How about the train?

1hr 25 mins form Southampton Central to London Waterloo.
A nice stroll over Waterloo Bridge and you're in the West End.

For your train journey, try Southampton to Waterloo station.

http://www.thetrainline.com/buytickets/
http://www.southwesttrains.co.uk/

Definitely pre-book, so you can reserve your seat/discounted ticket.

Once in Waterloo, you can get an all day travel pass for the tube (ermm, subway).

In principle, yes indeed. I am 2 hours away but I can combine a trip to the big smoke with some vists to friends etc.
