London for Friday

[Ric.ror]

I am due to travel to London from Leeds on Friday for a play Friday night
Does anyone know how things are in London
I want to go but my friend is reluctant to travel - we are going by train and staying in Chelsea

It`s not too bad. Central London is probably ok. It`s the getting there that could be a problem

Well Gatwick airport will be closed till at least 6am Friday morning.

This is just South of London, but will give you an idea of how bad it is in the South.

Central London is fine. I ynderstand that most trains into Kings Cross are running OK.

Snow is forecast to stop tomorrow morning. Gatwick is about 30 miles away from central London.

Check with the train people tomorrow.

I live and work in central london, it's absolutely fine. Back streets are a bit slippy but otherwise it's business as normal really.

careful Ric China's trying to entice you into her lair....

[China Doll]

Bu**er that Fluffy... If it were up to me, you'd need a license to enter central london showing you know how to use escalators, walk in a sensible manner and absolutely never wear a bum bag whcih you proceed to count out the exact amount of change from when purchasing an item.

And not just randomly stop in the middle of pavements or shop doorways!

[Davethedog]

Or walk along Oxford Street at lunch time (or anytime) at .00005mph Discussing the shops

I am going to see 'Onassis' on Friday night then stay at a friends near the Kings Road Chelsea. On Sat I am going to an 'Ice Bar' or Somerset House then home to Leeds at approx 6pm

Train services linking Leeds to London are subject to disruption if they're scheduled to travel to or from stations further north (e.g. Newcastle or Edinburgh). Other trains are unaffected:

I'm nearer to 60 than I am to 50 and, in all that time, I've never known central London to become completely snowbound. The volume of pedestrians and traffic usually keeps principal footpaths and roads reasonably clear of snow. Even if some buses are delayed (usually because they've experienced problems on parts of their journeys away from the city centre) they still seem to get through. Similarly, some Underground lines might have delays or cancellations on those parts of the lines which run above ground, but 'Zone 1' services always seem to keep going.
