How to Tube to this address?
Forbidden Planet
179 Shaftesbury Avenue London WC2H 8JR I'll be coming to the UK again in June/July and my favourite bookstore has moved to the above address. Where online can I type a London address and find the nearest Tube stop? And more importantly when I get to the nearest tube stop, how do I get directions to walk there? I wrote the store via email over two weeks ago and didn't hear back. They probably don't deserve my custom, but, well, I need to buy books and bring the back home :) If you can help, please post here or drop me an e-mail. Best, Eric -- I saw a woman wearing a sweat shirt with "Guess" on it. So I said "Implants?" She hit me. (Author Unknown) |

You can put postal codes (and street addresses) into http://www.streetmap.co.uk The store is at the eastern end of Shaftesbury Avenue. I would use Leicester Square tube station. Piccadilly Circus, Covent Garden and Tottenham Court Road (offering a couple of different lines) are close enough for an easy walk though, depending from where in London you might be coming and how much you like walking :) Enjoy your trip!

Where online can I type a London address and find the nearest Tube stop? The nearest stations are Covent Garden and Tottenham Court Road. You can use the Transport for London (TfL) Journey Planner at http://journeyplanner.tfl.gov.uk to find the best way of getting there from where you are staying. You can enter either the postcode "WC2H 8JR" or the address "179 Shaftesbury Avenue". And more importantly when I get to the nearest tube stop, how do I get directions to walk there? The TfL Journey Planner can display a detailed map showing how to walk from the Tube station to the shop. Alternatively, you can go to www.streetmap.co.uk, enter the postcode WC2H 8JR, and it will display a street map with the location arrowed, and tube stations marked with the Tube logo.

Try www.multimap.com, select Great Britain from the dropdown list and enter the postcode as WC2H8JR. ITYF that Tottenham Court Road or Covent Garden are your best choices for underground stations. |

Forbidden Planet 179 Shaftesbury Avenue London WC2H 8JR It's roughly in the middle of a triangle bounded by Covent Garden (Piccadilly Line), Tottenham Court Road (Central & Northern Lines) and Holborn (Piccadilly & Central Lines) underground stations, none of which are as much as half a mile away. Underground stations all have local maps on their walls to help you find your destination. According to my edition of Autoroute, Forbidden Planet should be about midway between Mercer Street & High Holborn. Multimap (sorry, I dont have the URL) might be very helpful. I'd suggest purchasing an A-Z street atlas from a newsstand. -- Helen D. Vecht: Edgware. |

I wondered where it had gone. Also try Murder One which has a huge sf department in its basement, in Charing Cross Road. The website you want is http://www.tfl.gov.uk, and click on the link marked "Journey Planner". This will tell you how to get from your starting point to where you are going, if that makes sense. I wrote the store via email over two weeks ago and didn't hear back.

The SF part of the shop is called New Worlds, i think, although everyone i know still refers to it as Murder One. tom -- Subvert normality. |
