FAQ
faq
get a day pass for day(s) that work for you!
when should i aim to arrive
+ We’ll be kicking off the experience with a group dinner on sunday evening at 6pm. so plan to arrive by early afternoon to give yourself at least 1.5 hour to get lugguge and travel from the airport to the hotel.
what if i can't make all 4 days?
+ we the weather in the fall can be rainy, in the mid 50F,,, but can also be warmer. so check the forecast a week out before hand.
+ bring a wind breaker, umbrella and shoes you can walk in for miles
+ a camera
+ if you want a laptop or tablet so you can stay connected
* we will be suppling all your crafting materials including a notebook, pens, paints, etc.
what should i pack
what if I have food concerns
+ we will be asking each camper to fill out a information form, where you can let us know any food preference and allergies you may have.
what if It rains
+ we will know the weather can be unpredictable in the fall. we have back up plans in places for each of our outdoor activities. but do pack an umbrella and rain coat :)
+ room2 - chiswick is our place of choice. shelly will be styaing there and we'll be heading out each morning for our walks from there. however if you wish to stay more central we recommned staying in near earls court or south kennsingston station,
where to stay
+ fly in from the us, heathrow is probably your best option.
Gatwick, Luton and Stanstead are other london area airports great for traveling in from europe.
+ you can take the underground or express train from heathrow to get to turnham green, which is the stop for room2 hotel (our recommend place to stay)
from the other three airports there are trains as well that will bring you into the city.
+ we recommend downloading the app citymapper to help navigate around. it works better than google maps
