Right tiff lets see if i can help
Point 1- no fucking idea
Point 2- The dominion theatre your going to is right opposite Tottenham Court Road, you can get off here on the central line
Point 3- Not sure on distance mate, but get off at westminster for the eye as its just on the opposite side of the river, also you can swear at the govenment as you walk round the house of commons and also laugh at the soap dodging protesters on the green
Madam tussards is just on the corner by Baker Street tube station.
Point 4- How deep are your pockets?

Tiff - everywhere in Central London is so close mate, people from Ooop North
don't realise that. Get a black cab wherever you want to go. Easiest way mate, by far if you're shite on the Tube or public transport. Where you are is pissing distance from wherever you want to go.

If it is the 'Kensington' Hilton (bit like 'London' Luton Airport) and not the Olympia Hilton which because it's in Kensington High Street most people think
is the Kensington Hilton then you and your Mrs are in for some exercise.
Good luck. Incidentally Hilton are doing massive discounts (end of tourist season and they've big empty Hotels)at the mo why not stay at the
Hilton Trafalgar (right on the square) which is about as central as you can get
and is 6/7 mins walk from the Dominion where that show is on.
As for black cabs the 3 guy's I know who've got their Badge work 3 days a week and play golf the rest of the week/guess why?

Tiff- Just get black cabs mate so simple.
If you have problems with tubes (although i really dont know how) lol then cabs are the only option really.
All the sites and places to go are very close and could easily walk to a few of them if ya dont mind walking around.
and nightlife mate it really does depend on what sort of nightlife you are after?

!. About £15 quid in a black car/watch how he'll 'find' traffic and how his
meter climbs whilst stationary.
Or tube it (three changes you're half way between Holland Park Ave and Shepherds Bush)about a fiver as Mayor Ken doesn't want you paying cash
and whacked prices up unless you have a 'Oyster Card'/don't ask.
2. 4.5 miles from the middle.The Dominion is right next to Tottenham Court Road tube. Not where Spurs play.
3. 6 miles to the Eye/Waterloo tube is slightly closer than Westminster
4 miles to Tussauds right next to Baker St Tube. Both these are slightly pants imho.
4. Nights out depends what you like but head for Covent Garden and you
won't go far wrong.
During the Day Breakfast at Claridges is a real experience/pricey but you've NEVER had anything like it/ffs don't wear jeans and trainers tho.
Tea at either Fortnum and Masons or Harrods she will love/Harrods almost
next door to Harvey Nicks again for her.
Remember it's a HUGE city which you could do something different every
day of your life if you lived here.
A little careful planning and you'll have a blast.

DON'T get a cab to go everywhere, you'll be skint in hours

![Wall](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/wall.gif)
the hotel you will be staying at is in sheperds bush, as long as you stay on the hotel side of the roundabot you won't get stabbed/shot/mugged/ generally vadalised by the locals
![Surprised](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/bigcry.gif)
walk out of the station, cross the road, head towards marble arch, then get a bus towards bush
it stops rightoutside the hotel
or you can be posh and get a cab, which is easier, but you'll get stiffed if he wants to drive you the "scenic" route, which is down the A40 when it's full of traffic
what time are you getting there? from getting into the cab to getting out of teh cab shouldn't be more than about 10 minutes if the traffic is light
don't base ANYTHING on the storys you hear about london traffic, it's ALWAYS worse than you would hope for so your 10 minute trip might take you an hour to cover the same 3 or 4 miles
if you come out of the hotel and do a right (DON'T FFS DO A LEFT SEE STABBING/SHOOTING/ETC ) and take a walk (or the bus up until marble arch at least because you'll miss the boring bits) you can take a elasurely stroll down oxford street for 30 or 40 minutes
the show is on right next to centre point, which is a big tall art deco style type of 60's towerblock thing at the junction of totenham court road, oxford street and charing cross road (walk down charring cross road to get to lecesreter square for your night life type thing)
madam tussards is right next to the station your getting off at, at the top of baker street, but in my onion it's very over rated and you spend more time in the queue to get in that you do walking abot the place, and with no plaentarium now, it's not worth the £30 or so admission
you should carry on walking down charris cross road when you get to lescererter sauare and it leads you onto trfalgar sqaure, and then yo walk a bit more and you will get up to buck house where the queen tends to stay for a bit, and everything is in easy view from there
it's a bit of a long trip on your feet, but it's so much eaiser to get around if you knwo the tube stations as it only takes minutes to get about the place
you want to learn the central line and the northern line, they are the only things you'll need to worry about, just don't get mugged on the tube, there are plenty of peole who still think it's oliver twist time
and don't give to tramps on teh street, especially those who live next to the cash point machines either
if you've never been to london before, it's an eyeopener, then again, you may miss everythg and wonder what all the fuss is about
![Surprised](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/bigcry.gif)
but, in all seriousness, joking aside, just remember to stay the right side of the roundbaout, espicially after hours, london crooks won't think twice to stab/shoot you if they think you've got a few quid on you, and odn't go flashing your phone baout either, no one wants to be a have a go hero when the posibilities are that their families will be reading baout them being slain in the streets

dojj- why the hell do you exagerate EVERYTHING sooooooooo much????????
London aint that bad at all.jesus you dont even live there? i Live in Central London and never bene robbed mugged or even had trouble in the street.
Black cabs aint that expensive and alot less hassle than changing 3/4 times on the tube. and it will make you skint if you have no money and someone who wants to stay in the Hilton aint gonna be a travel lodge regular are they lol.
Maybe Tiff could hire one of your wrestling buddies as a body guard so he dont get mugged

Kensington Hilton is a very good hotel and not that far from the tubes. We stayed there for two nights between Xmas and New Year as the start of our honeymonn and spookily went to see We Will Rock You as Clare is A HUGE Queen fan.
You will not be disappointed with either the hotel or the show.

London is in reality no worse than any other major town or city.
Tiff - just tube it everywhere - so much easier than cabbing it. Why would you want to sit stationary for 5 mins on Oxford street in a cab for £15, when you can just walk or tube it. Just get a daily pass if you intend to move around a lot, and phone me if you get lost.

you obviously don't live or travel through shepards bush of an evening very much then
how many peole actually live and work in the city of london then that post here? and how many of you just "pass through" every few years?
once you've gotten off the beaten track it's a very different world, even a few streets away from the limelight and sometiems even in the limelight
why do you think there are cctv camera's on every corner and on every bus? they ain't there to catch osama, they are there to catch the little fookers who want to rob you and stab you and shoot you just to look good in front of their mates
if you think it's all nice and comfy and all toytown then you need to think again
i wonder how many times he'll be asked "minicab mr?" as he wanders out of the theatre/club
then again, i may be biased because i've been a minicab driver in london and know what sorts of misfits and deviants are lurking in the shadows

The biggest mistake people make in the city is thinking they need to use tube/bus/taxi to get everywhere.
Things are actually closer than you think and you can actually spend less time by walking to them, some quick examples:
Waterloo to the London Eye - 10 min walk.
Waterloo to Westminister - < 15 min walk.
Waterloo to London Bridge - < 15 min walk.
So get an A-Z and actually look at where your going and use my examples above to give you an idea of walking distance between two places.
Also don't be a total cunt and get a cab - very expensive, cost me £15 from waterloo to king cross on sunday. Use cab at night or if your proper sensible use the fucking night bus for a £1 to go anywhere!

why do you think there are cctv camera's on every corner and on every bus? they ain't there to catch osama, they are there to catch the little fookers who want to rob you and stab you and shoot you just to look good in front of their mates
if you think it's all nice and comfy and all toytown then you need to think again
i wonder how many times he'll be asked "minicab mr?" as he wanders out of the theatre/club
then again, i may be biased because i've been a minicab driver in london and know what sorts of misfits and deviants are lurking in the shadows

Being a northerner now living in London, got to agree with Dann, you dont realise how close things are to each other.
When i first came down here we went into central London for a day out (we live 10 miles outside of central london) and we walked to most places we went.
When on the tube we got a 1 day travelcard, think they about £7 but you can go near enough everywhere you need to with it.
Are you going to go on London Eye ? As one thing that we did to cause less hassle when we got there was book the tickets online.
Kensington is nice, I'm there quite a bit as Dave works in Kensington High Street, very close to Knightsbridge ( Can take your lady shopping
)
