just type Victoria in the from box and Holborn in the to box for the tube journey and leave it as Station/Stop for both. Turn left out of Holborn tube station onto Kingsway and the pub is the building with the scaffolding covering it that sells beer 🙂

For maps I tend to use Google 🙂
 
I just checked on Google Maps and the postcode is wrong! If you catch the tube from Victoria to Holborn (too far to walk I have tried it and it's further than google says!) then use google maps for Holborn to The Shaskespeare's Head - you'll see it's just down the road 🙂 What time are you arriving at Victoria Paul?
 
Im off this morning, get 1130 train, London about 130 National Gallery to see my favorite Stubbs*. Then hotel. Tomorrow meet you horrible lot:D As long as I don't have to sit near that old cow Steff (you love me really don't you babe)

*Whistlejacket was foaled in 1749. His most famous victory was in a race over four miles for 2000 guineas at York in August 1759. Stubbs's huge picture was painted in about 1762 for the 2nd Marquess of Rockingham, Whistlejacket's owner and a great patron of Stubbs.

There will be people there from midday onwards Ella - I am hoping to get there before then, around 11 am. It finishes when the last person leaves, so you are welcome to come when you please and stay as long as you would like 🙂

p.s. the last person usually leaves around 8-9 pm 🙂

Waiting for photos tomorrow so I can compare. Mine looks like a balding slug (sp.?)

And it's the most irritating thing I can imagine on a top lip.

Hope you all have a good time.🙂
