Unless anyone has anu other thoughts.....??

Just with regards to hotels, there's the Mint Hotel Tower of London which is very close to the GTG - they're doing double rooms for £79 (excluding VAT) if you pay up front. 4 star hotel, looks pretty nice

works for me, when we have the final head count, a possible group booking could be done, split the cost on the Hugh Hefner suite

dalip · 10 February 2011, 01:40 AM

I'm sure it'd be all okay if you refrain from posing that "geezer" thingy...

Zed Homme · 10 February 2011, 04:02 AM

Let me know where you're staying dalip and I'll look nearby. After this gtg neither one of us should still be fit enough to drive.... I assume this is the second of July?

Guys Chris has certainly done his homework & that's a bloody good deal.

(Thanks Chris!

)

I've been doing some more research on it as well, it normally goes for about £350 a night, so to get it at that price is a real steal. Reviews look decent as well - it appears they've sorted out some initial teething problems. It's just a question of whether I stay for the one night or make a weekend of it

BH13GMT · 10 February 2011, 08:05 AM
