I have to be at the V&A for 9.45 tomorrow morning.


Since I retired that's like the crack of dawn to me!


Is it best to get train to Victoria from Denmark Hill then district line and if so what time should I get train?


Going to Alexander McQueen exhibition hooray! :)


ETA: wondering if I should allow extra time for rush hour etc??

That's probably quickest route, but if it were me - and this is just because I hate rush hour trains and tubes - I'd allow a bit longer and take 345 bus from Cambeerwell to South Ken.


Why? Get a seat and no changing.


But. It does take at least an hour so I'd check TFL journey planner for how long it's currently taking at that time of day.


Supposed to be an amazing show, I was due to yo as part of a corporate party thing hut it was night that Michelle Obama decided to go so we all had to wait outside and then I ran out of time. Boo.

Please God DO NOT go the bus route unless the trains are completely screwed up. Speaking from experience its very hit and miss (I do Denmark Hill or Peckham Rye to South Ken for work).


Your hour could be an hour and a half and its not exactly a direct route! Train quick and only two stops on the tube from Victoria so a sweaty 5 mins only to put up with....

Yeh thanks hpsaucey, I just looked up the bus timetable and had reluctantly decided it had to be the trains .......

    • I completely agree with you - and last night was really terrible where I am. Between midnight and 1am was the worst, where it genuinely felt like a war zone. I had to run out of my house to try and stop a grown man setting them off in open space right by our front doors. In response he went to throw a half lit one at me and then seemed to think better of it. I am so sad at how bad the situation has got here and how selfish people are. Fireworks are bad for the environment and for pets and wildlife, as well as just being unnecessary noise for people too. I have sent an email today to Helen Hayes, which I have done previously on this issue. Would advise anyone to write to your MP to do the same, and to ask them to engage with the debates scheduled for 19 Jan. 
    • And they started long before midnight!
    • First mate - I wondered if I was imagining things at 4.45 this morning . Apparently not .
    • The Dutch are addicted to New Year fireworks and spent €130million this year on them. However,  sales to individuals will be banned as from this year and celebrations will be organised by local and city councils. I have Dutch friends and for them, this can’t come soon enough. However, at least there it’s concentrated  on one night. Here, it’s never ending, any excuse to make a noise is seized upon with gusto. In addition to the annual celebrations, add birthdays, weddings, engagements, divorces, christenings, BBQs, etc etc. I dare say you can funerals to that list as well. Yesterday it started mid-afternoon and just carried on until the early hours. In the past, I’ve been woken up at 4am. Anyyone who doesn’t like it can go hang and you can ignore completely the  effects on people’s animals and wildlife. Don’t hold your breath about anything being done here, however.
