    Couldn't you simply fly into a more convenient airport at a more reasonable time and save yourself the hassle & money?
    Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

    I preferred version 1!

      The time is convenient for me with flights like that, I can pack up 5pm, get to to airport easily etc - I can bill for the whole day on Tuesday AND Friday onsite in the euroland and possibly even work remotely in between

      The suggestion about the taxi was indeed a good one - when you add up car rental+fuel+parking or train+tube+taxi or similar, it ends up being not only the most convenient one, but also the cheapest.

        There are buses from Stansted to different places in London.
        terravision run to victoria up until 01.00. you could get a taxi from there.

          If one were driving to central London and wanted to park as close as possible without incurring parking and congestion fees, where do you try? Clearly it would need to be close to some further mode of transport. Last time I visited the Museum (forget which one), over 10 years ago, I parked on the street right next to it, but that's probably out of the question now.
          Oakwood court, off high street ken - there are access roads behind the big block of flats, which do not have any lines. You can park there for free. At least you could when I was living there (which was around…er…1994).
