Travel to London Consulate

[pnd629 0]

Our interview is tomorrow and Stephen was planning on flying into Heathrow--I don't think that will work now.

We are checking the train schedules.

Does anyone know which station is closest?

The train website gave me a station called Euston--how far is that from the embassy?

He is traveling from Glasgow, Scotland.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Euston BR station is not far from the US Embassy via tube, 15/20 mins max. Two stops to Oxford Circus then one stop to Bond Street. Exit back of Bond St tube station and the embassy is a five minute walk.

Check this link for transport in London, maps etc. http://www.tfl.gov.uk

Good luck and very best wishes, daisy

Why are you asking?

I just can not believe as a grown male that another grown male is that helpless. Embarrasing for my gender.

A lot easier getting from Euston to the Embassy than Heathrow to the Embassy.

Get off train.

Walk to Cab rank.

Say American Embassy, please.

Get out of cab.

Pay cab.

I would jump on the tube, but that might be asking too much.

If you can get a train to Paddington station rather than Euston it will be much quicker to get to the embassy from there but if not then it is really easy from Euston also, if the money aspect is ok then i would get a cab....good luck, will be thinking of you both

I work at Heathrow and I wouldn't risk flying there tomorrow. A lot of aircraft are still out of position and while tomorrow probably will not be as bad as it is certainly not going to be anything like normal.

Since he is coming from Glasgow he only has 2 choices -- Euston and Kings Cross. Kings X is one stop further on the Victoria Line from Euston, so pretty much the same - Green Park is closest to the Embassy.

If you take Piccadilly from Kings X, you can get off at Hyde Park Corner which is also nearby

I really don't think that amount of rudeness or sarcasm is necessary. I am the FEMALE U.S. citizen and I am not familiar with London, but I am completely stressed that 16 hours before our interview we are making alternative travel arrangements. While my fiance was trying to buy a train ticket on-line, I thought I would ask for some help here at VJ.

To the others who offered advice--thank you!!!

Stephen was able to get a train for tonight and will arrive in London at 7am.

I hope he is able to get some sleep on the train!

I know you are the USC, I could just imagine what my USC wife would say to me in those circumstances, asking her for advise to get to London!.

I do not expect you to be familiar with London.

I would expect him to have a little knowledge/common sense.

Good luck tomorrow guys! Look for a 6ft tall salt and pepper haired man, with a wonderful disposition and that would be my hubby! He interviews at 10am.

I'd be scrambling too, I TRY to help as much as I can even if Paul doesn't need it (which he mostly doesn't ). I'd rather give too much than look unsupportive. I hope he gets some sleep, I'm sure he'll have a great interview tomorrow!

Thanks!

He is on the train right now--but he almost didn't get on! The train company had overbooked and there were a lot of angry people who had purchased tickets and didn't have a place on the train. Evidently he got the last berth!
