London is really looking good for next year :-D :-D maybe nearer the time ie Jan :-0 we might be able to suss out some cheap hotels, after all we only need a bed, some wifi and a little amount of protection ;-)

Ah just having a vodka out of my new glass, wish it was last friday, :-|


i wonder how sues getting on with her grave hunting, hope shes found lots of new rellies.

Im wore out think i need a break to get over my break lol, this weekend i plan on doing nothing! Lol

The Pr##ier Inn chain have a few in London, a corporate hotel, but ok I guess.

Maybe the hotel in Angel, Islington seems one of the cheapest within the London area. Not exactly in the centre of town, but has good connections with Tube and Buses. The No.73 bus passes through Angel, and terminates at Victoria.

Just a thought. Worth a shufty on the website in due course.

:-)

Motown I have shuftied them and they are on the list. It doesn´t need to be a central hotel just easy access to Victoria and all points out. I need to check where all the records are that I am going to want to find ....after all the reason for me being over is to research some family tree stuff :-0 My OH ´s family are from all over London so I need to base that, as OH said Viccy is so central for the meet and for everything else. Plus it would make it easy for others just doing a day trip.
I don´t mind doing cheap but I do require a room with ensuite , after all I am going to be there for a week. We will see nearer the time as I don´t even have a time yet as OH hasn´t started thinkingg about next years hols.......he has to be at home to look after my Minxy the epi furbaby :-( .....

Sue if you look in how are you doing in Chesterfield ?

Stray what glass would that be ?

I dont know if the Family Records Office has updated its website, but it used to be at Clerkenwell. That has closed down, and now all records are at Richmond as far as I know.

Please let me know nearer the time if there is something that needs checking in London, and if I can find out for you, then I will be pleased to do so.

:-)

The glass that you n lea got me as a surprise ;-)

Ha ha Stray we never did ;-)

Motown cheers for that, apart from typical parish records there are a few odd bods that I might need, will give you a shout nearer the time when I work out what they are. I know one of his rellies was given Freedom of Stationers (or something like that). :-D.

I shall have my thinking cap on for next year as there will be a lot of fun to be had in London ! :-0

Oh they sure will, ;-)

Because a lot of OH´s family lived in the area at the time, I really fancy doing a Jack the Ripper walk............with us all dressed in the working class fashion of the day :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Iv always fancied the krays tour, but babyS always with me n dont think its suitable for him lol,

If we did a Krays tour we could all dress up gangster theme, mind we might get arrested ! :-D.
Must admit forgot about baby S :-0 not sure the ripper walk would be that good either. Now I wonder who could not do a 2 hr walk and likes baby sitting :-0 :-0 ;-) :-D

Will re-think history wise. :-S

:-D :-D :-D

No Wend you are not on babysitting duties, you have to come with us all dressed up :-D <3

I could baby sit with Wend. We could take baby S. to see Les Mis... not too much blood and gore in that Or perhaps the Imperial War Museum. or not . No pub in there. If the weather is warm we could have a swim in the Thames, bring your cosi Wend, baby S. will be perfectly safe with us, and he WILL enjoy himself !!!

:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Choose your tour guide carefully for the Jack the Ripper walk.

My son went on one, and had to correct his errors all the way around!

Talk about the proverbial bothersome fly!!

If yer pays yer money, you expect to get a proper tour!!

:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

There are so many of the walks Motown I believe my sis in law went on one, will have to check which one, mind with baby S might think of something else to do instead.

Lolly the imperial war museum :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

I think il be going to "sheffeild" again to meet yous next year, n take babyS to london in 6 weeks as usual. Lolololol

;-) im sure we willl get away with it, long as we dont tell him its in london, n hey he had such fun last week shame to spoil his bonding time ;-)

Stray you little cheat ! OH said he likes his name :-D

How mant pubs on the route then ????????????????????????????????
Looks like I will have to put in some training for this walk. :-D
Lea will only visit this time and not stay,so Im free :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

ha ha Mo ...I did look at the pub walk but as they only "visit" 2 decided we could do better :-0. There are other options and a long time to decide, I did think it would be good if we did something maybe on the Friday night but also something on the Sunday.

Now looking at Thames boat trips .... :-( no chance of dressing up for that though mmmm or is there ? :-D :-D :-D
