Hey all

I'm sure some of u have read already, but I finish work at 4.30 in Bristol and so driving is really my only option. But, I'm worried all the spaces will be gone by the time I get there (its gotta be 3hours at that time of day at least huh?)

Thought people could mention car parking facilities, post links to maps, and talk about train / tube and other trabel options here....

Any help would be welcomed! I also hope to somehow meet some of u for a quick beer - but only the 1 cuz I'm driving :-(

you should beable to find parking on 9th avenue... ive parked there each night... not a bad area to find parking at that time

There's a parking garage right next to the venue. ?I drove in on Sunday night and parked on the street a few blocks away (9th Avenue between 29th and 30th Street). ?There are parking spots to be found on the streets of Manhattan if you look hard enough. ?Obviously, if you're driving something like a BMW or Mercedes, don't park on the street.

Guys, I'm sure he appreciates the thought, but I think he's talking about the London gig, not NY!

[slash55]

Ha! ?A couple things threw me: ?(1) I read "Hammerstein" although he clearly wrote "Hammersmith"; and (2) when he said Bristol, I assumed he was driving in from Bristol, Connecticut. ?Sorry!

  too funny.

there was a titanic roundabout near Hammersmith sta. you better avoid. it was like a trap once you were caught in, you would get stuck for a good hour or so.

[badobsession81]
