Tell Me :
Talk
So some are saying Stratford is easy to City Center and others make it sound not so good. At this point the price for a room is definitely affordable in Stratford but can anyone suggest another area that might make more sense? I don’t want to pay out the ass but don’t want to be in a dead zone area.
I would suggest St. Giles hotel at Bedford Avenue central London. Cheap rooms and easy access to "everything" London has to offer. It's very near Tottenham Court Road and central line to Stratford.
Stratford is one of the best reachable areas in London. You have Central Line, Jubilee Line, Trains from Liverpool Street Station. However, I was at Olympic Stadium for an AC DC concert some 2 years ago - it was a nightmare leaving the stadium. It took a very long time going from the Olympic Stadium to Stratford Train Station. Arriving a Stratford Train Station it was a nightmare finding a train / tube - so we walked home because it was faster. It that sense, Wembley Stadium is much better and better organized. By the way, we could not bring beers inside the stadium seating area - we had to drink it before !!!! What is that, never tried that before.
Maybe staying only for sleeping in (affordable) Stratford and otherwise traveling by the Tube through whole London ....
So not even worthy of shit/shower/sleep? My time spent there will be minimal.
Well, i think It's a great location for a first time London visitor and cheap.
Yeah and I ain’t too proud to stay in a poxy hotel, as long as I’m a little closer to the action!
I've stayed there many times and it's cheap with a great location. If you want a place to just "sleep" with easy access to central London and it's surroundings it's ok.
Then that’s sorted! Poxy characterless shithole it is lol! Thanks all!
Yes!
Yea - and I'm also proud to be a fan...
If you think about it - it's just incredible ...
Can't wait for those together nights here on IORR with the Scopes running and all the comments fall like rain!

*what if they cut the WiFi? Will you still love the band on concert night when you’re here trying to get.
Of course I will love the band the same.
I blame the slugs who are anti-scope/anti-live feed for cut WiFi, not The Stones
Mick and the band have no issues with people scoping/recording... unlike some scumbags.

I am much too cynical for that.
The Zipper tour was incredible to follow with the scopes, have not missed.
However, last Falls Euro tour, indeed, it felt and seemed ‘power off’
Anyway, we shall see...
Shaking fist at cell carriers... and the curmudgeons
Most stadiums/festivals have issues. Arenas sometimes do. Doesn't matter if its the Rolling Stones, football games or any other similar event with 40K to 80K devices. I was at a festival 2 weeks ago. When the doors opened at 11AM plenty of bandwidth but by 9PM it was impossible to send or receive a text. Throughout the day it deteriorated, didn't just shut off.
Anyway, I am more interested in high quality audio than cell phone video. I am hoping tapers are able to navigate security to make good audio recordings and hoping the tour coincides with my trip so I can record a few myself. I need the tour announced soon before Delta is out of seats for frequent flier miles. Monday please.
Take the tube to Baker Street Station. Ignore the nearby tourist traps and walk into Regents Park. Walk by the Inner Circle and enjoy the "filet mignon" of the London parks as far as beauty and exclusivity goes.
Find an exit to the north and walk up to Primrose Hill, where they did the Between The Buttons photo sessions, and where Paul McCartney got the inspiration for Fool On the Hill. Enjoy the view of London from one of the few hills in the city.
Check out Camden Market, have an ale or two, get some fish'n'ships and feel the rock'n'roll vibe. Follow Regents Channel back over to Paddington, stroll down to Hyde Park and walk over to the north east part to Speakers Corner. If it is a Sunday then listen to all the speakers standing on a box with a crowd of anything from zero to many listerers, telling how they will solve all the problems in the world.
Walk down towards Hyde Park Corder and feel the Stones history in the park where they performed in 1969 and later on in 2013. Then walk through the Hyde Park from south east to noth west by the Serpentine and Kensington gardens, enjoy the people and the park.
Get over to Portobello Road and pass by Notting Hill. Move south to Sticky Fingers restaurant on the side street Phillimore Gardens off High Street Kensington, and see the stuff Bill Wyman put on display there. Meet and talk to other Stones fans there, and make sure you visit the toilets, because there is Stones stuff everywhere. Spend some time there and other fans will advice you for further explorations of the city. Have a great time in London!

The Olympic stadium in London can be reached by train from St Pancras station in central London in ten minutes.There are too many great areas of London to mention but I would not want to stay in Stratford.I guess it depends what you want to do with your spare time as to where you might choose to stay.
Nate
So some are saying Stratford is easy to City Center and others make it sound not so good. At this point the price for a room is definitely affordable in Stratford but can anyone suggest another area that might make more sense? I don’t want to pay out the ass but don’t want to be in a dead zone area.

Why all this talk of Olympic Stadium ? There's lots of chatter about the o2 and it's available on those dates. Surely if the London dates were in a stadium at least one of them would be on the weekend of 26/27th May ?
My worry with the o2 option is that they go to all seating and Vegas type pricing, which saw most of the front blocks sold as packages. We are actually considering Lucky Dips for once.

I am much too cynical for that.

However, last Falls Euro tour, indeed, it felt and seemed ‘power off’

Take the tube to Baker Street Station. Ignore the nearby tourist traps and walk into Regents Park. Walk by the Inner Circle and enjoy the "filet mignon" of the London parks as far as beauty and exclusivity goes.
Find an exit to the north and walk up to Primrose Hill, where they did the Between The Buttons photo sessions, and where Paul McCartney got the inspiration for Fool On the Hill. Enjoy the view of London from one of the few hills in the city.
Check out Camden Market, have an ale or two, get some fish'n'ships and feel the rock'n'roll vibe. Follow Regents Channel back over to Paddington, stroll down to Hyde Park and walk over to the north east part to Speakers Corner. If it is a Sunday then listen to all the speakers standing on a box with a crowd of anything from zero to many listerers, telling how they will solve all the problems in the world.
Walk down towards Hyde Park Corder and feel the Stones history in the park where they performed in 1969 and later on in 2013. Then walk through the Hyde Park from south east to noth west by the Serpentine and Kensington gardens, enjoy the people and the park.
Get over to Portobello Road and pass by Notting Hill. Move south to Sticky Fingers restaurant on the side street Phillimore Gardens off High Street Kensington, and see the stuff Bill Wyman put on display there. Meet and talk to other Stones fans there, and make sure you visit the toilets, because there is Stones stuff everywhere. Spend some time there and other fans will advice you for further explorations of the city. Have a great time in London!
