Why don't you stay around Euston? That way its only a quick hop from there to Watford Junction on the overground. There is a Hilton, Ibis, Travel Lodge and Premier Inn with 5 mins walk. If you wanted a bit of luxury, the hotel at St Pancreas (can't remember which chain) is amazing.Originally Posted by glorob
Would seriously avoid getting the tube there. Takes over 45 mins and you could be waiting 10 or 15 mins for a Watford branch one to arrive.

I had an offer from Accor last week and could have booked the Ibis near Euston for €67 a night but did not. Now it is €111 per night. I could also have got a good deal at the Pullman but that is also gone. Serves me right for procrastinating..
I do not like to stay more than a night in a Travelodge. They serve a purpose if you are arriving at 11.00pm and leaving the following morning at 8.00 am. Aside from that there is no way I would pay £92 a night to stay in the Euston Travelodge.
I looked at the Renaissance but price is a bit steep.
This place looks promising. Well located.
Have a look at NH Hotels. Spanish chain but they do offers from time to time. I use them a lot in Europe and find them excellent.

Bloomsbury is on your doorstep from Euston if that's still an option.

I can book the Mercure there for €127 a night so that looks like my best option.
I am too lazy to take the car on the ferry and drive even though I have a free ferry trip for a car plus 2.
It beats a Travelodge anyway...
Try Premier Inns, e.g. London Blackfriars (Fleet Street). Good rep and around STG110 for a prepay.

JCC's tips are invariably dumps.This place looks promising. Well located.
I'd skip them if I was you.
well looka
You weren't invited Ian.
A group (7) of us from work are travelling Ryanair from Shanon to Stansted on the morning of the game, taxi to the hotel (Premier Inn) in Watford. On Moday then taxi back to Stansted for Ryanair flight to Shannon, cost per person working out at around €150.

well looka
Walking distance to Euston, but also to the west end. British Museum on your doorstep of you fancy it too. Good food on Charlotte Street.
Nice spot, Bloomsbury.

My tickets actually arrived this morning.
Looking for some help from the usual Munsterfans Travel Experts. Booked the family to London for Saracens weekend. Teenage girls and mother have decided to do shopping and let myself and the son head to the match. Flying from Waterford to Luton on the Fri back on Monday. So looking for a hotel for 3 nights in London, where its easy enough to get in and out of central london (oxford street,etc), and aso handy for train from Luton and train out to match. If someone could even tell me an area to look in for hotels, i'd appreciate it. I have looked extensively and dont mind being a little out, if i dont have too many tube changes. One pace coming up constantly in my searches for 5 people, are apartments in Camden. Any advice? Also, i believe there is a huge shopping centre near shepards bush. Again, any advice? Thanks guys
I'd go central, Shep. You won't save much by moving out further, and will spend time travelling. Camden is ok for the train, but not ideal for the west end.
Depending on your budget, I'd look around Euston Rd/Bloomsbury/Fitzrovis (handy for train from Luton which will come into Kings cross itself and west end shopping).
On a budget, there's a premier inn in a great spot on the South Bank near Southwark cathedral.
Alternatively, you might get good rates in apartments and hotels in the City - the square mile is a bit of a desert at the weekend.
Look around Bank and St Paul's - both would also put you close to Yager, the home of the London Supporters Club, which will no doubt be busy that weekend.

Huge shopping centre is Westfield
Offside Ref! He's being doing it all day
Two Westfields ... One in White City and one in Stratford at the Olympic site.
I don't believe in hell, but if there is one, it's walking around either of the two of them on a Saturday afternoon.
“Do not repeat the tactics which have gained you one victory, but let your methods be regulated by the infinite variety of circumstances.”
Dundrum and Blanchardstown etc. are probably the same. Hell on earth...avoided now for 6 years and counting
No intention of going near the Westfield, but great way to keep the wife and daughters busy on a saturday
So what's all this nonsense with you only offering us (Sarries) single tickets spread throughout the ground at Thomond Park?
Do you guys do the decent thing and move seats around so that families can sit together?
Poor form from Munster Rugby if that's the case
