Meet at Brighton Station at 8.50am to catch the 9.07am stopping train to London Bridge, arriving at 10.17. If anyone wishes to pick up the train at Preston park – it arrives there at 9.11am. It is possible to park cars for free on the Brighton side of the London Road, in the Surrenden area.
You will need a travel card for London, which includes the Docklands Light Rail fares. This costs £13.15 if you have a Network card, and £19 .90 without such.
From London Bridge Station we can travel by Tube to Bank Station where we pick up the Docklands Light Railway to East India Quay. The Docklands Museum is close to the station. The Museum is free and has a café. Other cafes/restaurants are close-by.
The Museum is huge and takes about 2 – 3 hours to get round. There are lots of interesting places to see in the Canary Wharf area. Some of us might like to have a meal before returning to Brighton early evening, and we can either eat in this area or at Browns (as we did before) close to London Bridge Station.
