blonde poker forum

can anyone that knows the area around the vic casino please let me know of any hotels in the area that have wheelchair access

i know of the hilton and the marriot but i am not paying the £200-£350 a night they were wanting

so if anyone knows anything in the area that is a little more affordable can you please let me know

It depends on how close you're looking for (and whether they have any rooms at their cheaper rates when you need it) - but I've had a quick look at this site - http://london-hotels.hotels-london.co.uk/find.php (http://london-hotels.hotels-london.co.uk/find.php)

Initially I've come up with these -
http://london-hotels.hotels-london.co.uk/quality-crown-hotel-paddington.hotel (http://london-hotels.hotels-london.co.uk/quality-crown-hotel-paddington.hotel)
http://london-hotels.hotels-london.co.uk/park-plaza-sherlock-holmes.hotel (http://london-hotels.hotels-london.co.uk/park-plaza-sherlock-holmes.hotel)
http://london-hotels.hotels-london.co.uk/the-mandeville.hotel (http://london-hotels.hotels-london.co.uk/the-mandeville.hotel)

But you could try playing around with the advanced search and the locations to see if you can find anything else.

Just done a search.  What a load of crap in the results.  Sites that claim to provide listings of accessible hotels in London.  Shocking sites, and nothing substantial.  I can imagine it's a right pain in the arse.

they are about the same price as the hilton and marriot

Have you tried the Moneysupermarket / travel?

Try Travelodge, they are very good value & usually wheelchair-accessible, as are Days Inn.

i found a days inn on the money supermarket site but i have no idea how far away it is or the cost of travel between it and the vic

i will search more into it once i found out if i can afford to travel after i find out if i need a new tv or not

Don't worry about the TV, both Travelodge & Days Inn have them. Bring a big suitcase.

 I stopped outside an Easy (Jet) Hotel the other day in Earls Court....it seemed to have a wheelchair lift outside. Rooms start at £25 it said !!!

A cab to the Vic would be about £15/20 oneway.

there is a days in at Hyde Park Corner I believe.....

Is the Vic the casino just at the bottom of edgeware road ?

if so, then they are minutes apart.

its on edgware road close edgeware tubestation

i will check out the days inn website thanks

looks like there is something on in london that week its sold out

on to easy hotel

is http://info.easyhotel.com/gb/Victoria.html close to the casino?

20 mins or so door to door on the 436 bus (accessible)

2.73 miles according to yell.com whats that £5 in a taxi?


looks like i might be able to make it


bookmark at ready for apat events too

ok now if i am arriving in heathrow what would be the best way to get to the hotel (avoiding the £50 taxi)

depends what kind of usurious taxi driver you get, I used to get a taxi from Liverpool street station to prescott street all the time,  which is about a 1/2 mile walk at most, and sometimes they managed to scam me for a £6/£10 fare, giving it the patter that only london cab drivers can give you. Granted I was a pretty easy mark, so let that enter your considerations.

heathrow express is fully wheelchair accessible. and it takes you right into paddington, which is handy for the casino.

cheers laz £28 return sounds good

When are you going to London?

good question.  Here's another - will you have time to come to karaoke with me?!

i am thinking of coming for the PLO8 game in the vic on the 19th of sept
so i would be arriving on the 18 or 19th and leaving on the 20th ot the 21st

me or Iron? I hope it's Iron :D

I may pop over for a beer :)  What's the PLO8 game?  Is it cheap?

£500 double chance freezeout

can you do a recce for me checking access a few photos wouldnt go amiss either

what kind of photos?!

lol - it was directed at Iron, but I'd like you to come too!  We'd need to get Ed along too so we could practice for our X factor audition.

some of the talent would be good

lol, we'd certainly have an X factor of some kind :D

I don't do karaoke, but I'd be up for some bevvies I expect.

i wont know if i am 100% going untill i see how the old body holds up this weekend

well let us know if you do Iron.

Graham, if you're up for a few bevvies soon the Women's Poker Tour is coming to Reading next month :)

A woman in work told me to use this site-
