Help as i dont knoww ! London Public Transport..?

Question

Hey there, i am going to olympia to see the chemical brothers this year, in august. As i am travelling from Edinburgh i dont have a clue on how to find my ways around London, im getting the plane down to London Luton, could you give me a specific answer which would help me to find my way to Olympia, from Luton airport.

Answer 1

This is how I would do it:

- take the train (First Capital Connect) from Luton Airport Parkway to St Pancras International.

- walk through the connecting tunnel to Kings Cross underground station.

- take the Piccadilly line southbound to Earls Court

- change on to the District line shuttle train to Olympia station.

Hope this helps...

Answer 2

I would take this route, which avoids the crush of going into central london, and should also be quicker, if the connections are OK:

Get the First Capital Connect (Thameslink) train southbound (ie towards London) from Luton Airport Parkway station, as far as West Hampstead Thameslink.

Then, walk to the West Hampstead OVERGROUND (not underground) station that is just over the road from the Thameslink station, and get the train (towards Richmond) to Willesden Junction.

Change there - wait on the same platform, for another Overground train, which will take you the one stop to Kensington Olympia - right next to the venue.

Answer 4

I agree, Lee B's answer is the best and most reliable and easiest.

Answer 5

Hey I live in london and would love to help so here it goes:

             Luton Airport has it's own train station and this will take you to the station of St Pancras, which is connected with Kings Cross. I think the underground station is right on the opposite end of the station from where you will arrive, you can ask someone there. There is always someone by the stairs who you will pass whilst walking away from the trains and there are signs showing you the direction.

             There are many ways that you can get to Olympia and the best way is by Underground. From King's Cross St Pancras underground station get on the Victoria Line (bright blue) and go southbound, Once you get to Green Park change and go westbound on the Piccadilly Line (navy blue) Then once you get to Earl's court go to the District Line (green) get the train to Kensington Olympia

           Once you leave the station you will be confronted with Olympia it's self.

           Another was is Victoria Line (bright blue) and go southbound, Once you get to Oxford Circus (5min) change onto the Central Line (red) and go westbound to Nottinghill Gate, Once there change again and go Southbound with the District Line (green), and get off at the Kensington (Olympia) station

There are many other ways of getting there using the underground but these seem the easiest.

Who are you going to see??? (add in additionaly infrormation)

Hope You Have A Great Time!

below is a map of the underground for you,

if you want one for the day you will be able to get one at the entrance of the underground station of st pancreas (the underground is in the station you do not have to go outside)
