Obviously I have no experience of this exact journey, just wanted to say don't be afraid of the London Underground. I have a very bad sense of direction and am not especially familiar with the underground there, but have always found it easy to navigate. Everything is clearly signposted and there are maps everywhere. It's definitely easier than finding your way around London above ground!

Gotta agree with Stella check the TFL site the morning you leave the condion of the tube can change majorly overnight as i found. In the end it took me nearly 1hr40 to 2hrs instead of the hour that its ment to take from where i live.
next time i go im definatly going to hammersmith station and not barons court.

The walk is nicer from Baron's Court, through the cemetery instead of down the main road - however, it does take a bit longer. I'd definitely recommend going via Hammersmith if you're not sure of where you're going though, it's much easier.

IM's directions sound pretty good to me - her memory is obviously better than mine, I couldn't have described it nearly so well!

There's a Starbucks just past the clinic on the other side of the main road if you need somewhere for a coffee and sit down before your appointment.

btw, as well as checking the tfl website for service closures, it is well worth asking the station staff too. Sometimes the website doesn't get updated with line closure information, but the train station staff always seem to know.

I noticed the receptionist I booked my next appointment with sounded Australian and why would I need to know her dress size, lol.

Thanks Very Happy

for all your well wishes in this thread. As I just said in my blog I feel pretty silly worrying about using the tube now as it was so easy.

Thanks also ice maiden for the piccy, why didn't I think of looking at the practitioner guide? I spotted the building straight away and there was even a white van parked in exactly the same spot as in your photo, lol.

i agree with flameboy. barons court is a nicer station, there is a lovely coffee shop on the left as you come out of it (they do good cake), and the walk through margavine cemetry is a nice way to clear your head pre-appointment. i don't know if it's further, but the route is a little more complicated. maybe it's one to try and figure out on the way back when you're less stressed.

seriously, the coffee shop is sweet.

edit: just read properly! ha. you've already been. ne'er mind Smile
