    Harry Potter Studio Tour…

    SWMBO has booked tickets to the studio tour for the youngest birthday in July, looking at the time suggested it takes to complete the tour it will be about 22:00 at night when we finish. Has anyone any experience of getting back to central London from Watford late or would we be better finding somewhere local to get our heads down that night?

    (And yes I have asked my accountant and he’s said I can use the loyalty points I’ve accrued for staying away at MyCos expense for a freebie night)

    UberX would be about £40 I reckon?

      You need a car - public transport isn't an option
      merely at clientco for the entertainment

        Watford is a s-hole. I work on a KPMG project there. The Overground train to London runs until 23:30.

          Why do you say that? Shuttle bus not up to cop?

            There is a Marriot Hotel not too far away.
            You should make the lastish train back to London.
            Your best accommodation options will probably be London.
            I don't think there are any quality accomodation options around there. You never know AirBnb might show up something
            Uber is another option.

              I am going on the tour with my daughter next week :-)

              There is a "Hogwarts express" decked out double decker bus that goes from the tour studio to London. Looks fine. I see it on the roads all the time.
              So worth checking this out.

              Overground train - might not be fun at this time or Uber £35-£40 its only 45mins at night.

              There is no Marriott - The Grove is nearby - if you want to spend lots of ££££
              Or there are some cheaper hotels within a few miles.

                Bit of a curveball but Heathrow - does it have direct links to Watford? Seems to me getting back into London that time should be easy enough though.

                  What time have you booked for? It only takes a 2/3 hours to go through the tour. 4 if you REALLY take your time.
                  You could take a cab to Watford underground (10min) and then metropolitan line into London.

                    If you have kids then be prepared to take out a second mortgage if you dare to enter the gift shop.
