When u going to arrive

LOL i was abt to say screw you both...i'll be getting there at 9.30 then BUT then i realised i'm actually in GDSA....i wld laugh if u guys had to race for the last parking space-are there any in SSA...thought you had to use a city car park.

I'm leaving the house at 8am....should take 1 hr 30 mins max to get to central london without traffic ish!

There is no parking AT SSA, just whatever you can scrounge near it.

Im planning on arriving at around noon, then pop to the nearest supermarket (anyone know where this is??) and then spend a bit of time with family. This is realy off topic but for those of you going to SSA, do we have to bring pillows and a duvet??

^ were moving in?!

Hey Zoecb, you moved in last year right? Do you remember by any chance where you parked?

That Tesco isn't just down the road from SSA, by any stretch of the imagination...

There's a big Tesco on Old Kent Road...just down the road from SSA so would be ideal by car. I think.

At least ten minutes. By CAR. IF the traffic's good. Do you have no sense of where anything is???

Nearest food to SSA is the Sainsbury's Express (or whatever they call small branches) opposite Waterloo station.
Nearest reasonable sized supermarket I'd say is the Tesco Metro in Covent Garden, that's where I went all year. Slightly cheaper than the mini-branches and much more choice.

Well no one HAS a car here, do they? Walking would take like an hour. With stuff? I think not. Much bigger choice but you'd need to take a bus. Extra £2 cost, lame.

Covent Garden Tesco is a (scenic) 20 minutes or so on foot.

This IS however a fairly large Sainsbury's on Kingsway, about a mile from SSA. That seems to be the best options, for things you can't get at the local Sainsbury's.

The person I replied to said they're going to come with their family so I assumed they would have a car. Maybe they will come on foot.

Yeah you do have to find a car park but that's my brother's job! I believe there is one at the end of Cornwall Road which is really close but KCL also emailed me saying roads were closed or something so be warned if you're moving into SSA!

I have this horrible feeling that i'll end up walking for miles through London with all of my stuff Hence the need to arrive early to beat out both other SSA residents as well as Saturday London shoppers!

dmcmorrine - Any plans as to where you will park?

^ Nope :P Figured turning up will be part of ther fun
