Maestro Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 I have only had a quick browse but I was thinking of the Travelodge in Covent Garden, about 10 mins walk from Leicester Square. If people are interested in sharing then you can get a family room (sleeps 3) for a saver (non refundable) rate of £65.75 (about £22 each) Normal (refundable) rate is £95.85 (£31.95 each) A single and double room is the same price so sharing makes quite a big saving. Travelodge is a chain hotel and pretty basic, but they are comfortable, en suite and you know what you are getting with them. Does not sound bad actually, I'll definitely will look into that.

dookdookdook Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Although a bit early but has anyone good ideas about hotels and such in London, preferably not to far from where we have to be? There was some news recently about how the premiere may not be at Leicester Square this time. Something about they are remodeling the whole area, again. Link to post Share on other sites
NT1 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I'm interested in this.However there are a few things that could be a problem for me, aside from money, I may not have free time at the moment, I may also be off to Florida, or my parents wont let me go... Anyway, I'll need to know when the premiere is to rule out the Florida part. But if all goes well I'll probably come.Guessing the best way from the Netherlands is by plane? There is a tube that goes from Heathrow to central London right? Man it's been 2 years since I was there with school. Link to post Share on other sites
Danielle Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 There was some news recently about how the premiere may not be at Leicester Square this time. Something about they are remodeling the whole area, again.That's interesting, I wonder where they are thinking of if not Leicester Square. I know that occasionally there is a Premeiere in another location, The Prince of Persia premiere was held at the brand new Westfield shopping centre and cinema complex in Shepards Bush, but all the major films are in Leicester Square. I just hope that we know the location and date in plenty of time so we can start making arrangements. Link to post Share on other sites

Or you can take the Eurostar from Brussels, if it's easy for you to get there.. Don't know in which part you live.. Link to post Share on other sites

I'm from Belgium, and we're gonna take the Eurostar.. You should look it up if there's a train for you Link to post Share on other sites
Maestro Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Above Amsterdam, although i do know there is a train that goed from Amsterdam to London, if I'm right atleast. You will go through Brussels if you go by Eurostar. It's a trip of 5 and half hours or so. Link to post Share on other sites
R_HR_Forever Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 You will go through Brussels if you go by Eurostar. It's a trip of 5 and half hours or so.WHOOHOO!! Brusselss!!! I'm totally not excited or anything.. Link to post Share on other sites

savixpotter Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Is it completely impossible for a minor to travel to England? I mean, it has to be with a guarian or a parent, right? Link to post Share on other sites
Antares Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Does not sound bad actually, I'll definitely will look into that.So what now everyone's going? There was some news recently about how the premiere may not be at Leicester Square this time. Something about they are remodeling the whole area, again.Yes, the center of the square is fenced off by a black wall and you can't really see what's going in there. It says they're preparing for the Olympics. Access to the cinemas and stuff is still possible, but I suppose it's not enough space to stage a major premiere. Link to post Share on other sites

It says they're preparing for the Olympics. Access to the cinemas and stuff is still possible, but I suppose it's not enough space to stage a major premiere.There have been Premieres there recently, and in the reports I have read that it currently resembles something like a building site. It may be fine for small Premieres but for something on the scale Harry Potter would be, they would need to make use of the whole square. As well as the Westfield Shopping Centre, I have also heard the O2 Arena could also be used. This report even suggests red carpet Premieres could be scrapped until 2012, they can't..surely? http://www.westendextra.com/news/2011/jan/leicester-square-disruption-years-red-carpet-premieres-could-be-scrapped Link to post Share on other sites
vida Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 You are all so lucky you can meet up for the London premiere! I wish I could go too...Please make sure you take plenty of pics and post them here, so we can all enjoy what is going to be an EPIC moment indeed! Link to post Share on other sites
Antares Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 This report even suggests red carpet Premieres could be scrapped until 2012, they can't..surely?Well, I suppose they can, at least for Leicester Square. The cinemas (is it only the Odeon that has the premieres?) wouldn't be to thrilled about that, obviously. As for the film studios, they could probably find some other place. How about having the world premiere in Germany? Then I'd definitely come. In any case, I can't imagine the actual location of the premiere is important enough to significantly postpone the launch.

We'll just have to wait and see. Link to post Share on other sites

C'NB Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Is it completely impossible for a minor to travel to England? I mean, it has to be with a guarian or a parent, right?I live in Belgium, so it's really easy to get into England. For us, it's enough to get a letter from city hall which has to be filled in by the parents giving the minor written concent to get into England.I see you live in Bulgaria, so I don't know if that paper will be enough, but you can always go ask the people at your City Hall and your parents.But it's definately not impossible Bad news peeps, may have to sit this one out.Aww, how come? On a brighter note, it looks like me and R_HR_Forever might make it after all Link to post Share on other sites
