Leyton Orient away 14/12/2019

Everyone calling round at @Interested Bystander gaff for a cuppa tea and some eels?

 

Yeah mate can have a good old knees up, Hope I don’t fall down apple and pears.

 

You mean cuppa rosie and squeals

 

Corrected for you me old china

 

how the fck can anyone eat something that looks like melted breast implants with cat sick in it.

 

Last time down at Orient called into the Palm Tree Pub Mile End before the game loved it great Boozer.

 

beats me, not a fan

 

I totally agree. Never appealed to me.
But most southerners would have a similar opinion about tripe.

 

not looked yet mate

 

Don't think you'll get many cheap Air BnBs for one night - Have you tried Easy Hotel? Think it's around £80 for a room for 2. Any of the London locations would be easy enough to get to Orient on the Tube. IBIS budget in Barking might be an option too, around £50 but it's in a shithole.

 

I'm staying in Stockwell which is south of the river and about 35-40 mins on a tube to Orient. Unfortunately in London if you want a cheaper option something else has to give. As London Bantam said maybe choose one of those options or keep searching, took me about an hour of researching to find the right place practically (5min walk to the tube), right price (not too expensive) and decent host on air bnb. Problem is if you go cheap you're looking at being nowhere near a tube station (a 20 mins bus ride to a tube in some places @£30-40 a night) or somewhere outside of zone 2. If you're happy to do this, then do it. However factor into your costs travel charges and see if anywhere closer but a bit more expensive is worth it in relation to what you would have to pay in travelling. Mine was mid range-ish price wise (£80 for 2 nights), but I booked early as thought I would make a weekend of it being near Christmas.

Prediction: Snowed off

 

Well done Andy. I booked yesterday and amazingly was able to get Advance and with my 'Old Geyser' Railcard treated myself to First Class at £118 return on the day.
Word of caution for those yet to book. I think works are on going at Kings X as my return is very bitty but for info:-
09.58 from Wakefield to Kings X.
Victoria Line Kings X to Blackhorse Road.
Overground Blackhorse 12.53 to Leyton Midland Road arriving 12.57.

The ground is a 15 minute walk, similar to time from station to Posh, Gills or Swindon.

Return from Midland Road (Take me home) at 17.45, time for a celebration pint to Blackhorse.
Victoria Line to Finsbury Park.
18.24 Finsbury Park to Stevenage.
18.55 Stevenage to Wakefield arrives 20.39.

Check what's going on at Kings X and remember for Advance there may be a lot of Christmas shoppers.
