Re: gatwick - hilton info?
Arriving late Sunday (10pm arrival scheduled) at Gatwick and going from there to the Hilton Metropole. The transportation web page gives lots of hype about how convenient the hotel is to just about everything, but precious little detail. Would someone who knows this sort of thing recommend the Gatwick Express and then a taxi from Victoria Station? (I'll have luggage, so the underground isn't appealing.) Take the Gatwick Express to Victoria Stn. (30 minutes *iff* it's running on time.) If you're quick about it you should still be able to take the underground to Paddington (check at Victoria to see if it's still running when you get there). From Victoria underground, take the Circle Line westbound to Edgware Road station, which is right across the stret. --lyndon (who made the trip yesterday)

I see there was eventually one public response as well -- Thanks, Lyndon. Does anyone have an estimate of the cost of the taxi from the airport to the hotel? -MM -- Michael Mealling| Vote Libertarian! | urn:pin:1 [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | http://www.neonym.net Democracy gives an aura of legitimacy to acts that would otherwise be deemed tyranny. -- Walter Williams
