Niall Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 So let's have a thread about where we are going. Covent Garden has some good scenery so let's go there (let's go there for a lunch/food break and for shopping and other lulz). This location is also slightly Muse related for reasons I can't say but management will like it/be afraid of us. Short tube trip to Trafalgar Square from there. Houses of Parliament and London Bridge would be greta as these are both in Muse videos. The city would be good because it's where all the big bankers are...Uprising connection! Also one of the places with skyscrapers which will look nice. Any more ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L. Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Pushing the connection a bit but we could do a bit at the Queen Victoria statue in front of Buckingham Palace for a cheeky "Queen" reference... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niall Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Haha I like it, we should definitely do some Queen stuff there. Buckingham Palace is one of the possible locations anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bai-Lee Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 i have to be very careful if we go near the city. I work there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EMMAlovesMUSE Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 This all sounds great to me! Lols if the queen is home, here come along a bunch of musers singing about eurasia haha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnitedBliss Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 The Strand tube station? I mentioned it in the other thread, and realised that it was off-topic, so I'm just repeating here. Hope no-one minds =) And, I think we'll be able to get most of the British public involved. I had to take part in some activities day at college the other day where one of the tasks was to lead three or more members of the public in a sing-along. I got 39. And we'll also be spreading the word of Muse and their fantastic upcoming album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niall Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Is Strand abandonned!? How would be gain access? An abandonned tube station would be amazing however. Trafalgar would be great if we wanted to collect random people up together to join us. Hopefully Muse fans in the area will see us and join as wel travel round London. We need to sort out the final destination and plan an efficient route on the tube wih a fairly central meeting point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnitedBliss Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Strand is abandoned, but I'm thinking if I email TfL, I might be able to get us a pass. I mean, we've got two weeks for it, but if I'm gonna get us a pass, I'll probably need to know how many of us will be going down there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niall Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 If we could get into an abandonned tube station that would fantastic. Looks like we'll have around 30 people going, it would be difficult to know an exact number until a few days before however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnitedBliss Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Fantastic. I've emailed TfL to ask about permissions. Will let you all know as soon as I get a reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niall Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Great, thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnitedBliss Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 Right, haven't got an email back from TfL, but I've spoken to my ex-girlfriend's brother who does the rails for London Underground about getting access, and he says he'll have an answer for me by Monday.

Hysterical_Fan101 Posted July 24, 2009 Author Share Posted July 24, 2009 In the other thread I said about George Orwell's house with the blue plaque outside - its right near Kentish Town station Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bai-Lee Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Oh this abandon tube station sounds like fun....I hope they give us permission. http://underground-history.co.uk/front.php (freaky website) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnitedBliss Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Dunno if any of you have checked out the other threads, but Strand's a no-go. It'll cost over £1,000 for an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niall Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Yikes £1000 an hour...way too much. Considering this was supposed to cost nothing anyway. There's lots of other locations anyway. We'll get travel or oyster cards and all of London will be open to us. I'll talk to Chris (spittle) who is halping to organise this day and we'll sort it out.

UnitedBliss Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Sounds good to me. And afterwards, we can all go for a drink together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheese on toast Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 £1000 an hour, jeez. Ah well, plenty of other places. Like Niall said, just grab an Oyster card and you're good to go We probably wouldn't be allowed to film there, but the O2 would made of lolz. . . *wishful thinking* Did someone mention drinks?!

Niall Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Drinks may be a very good idea after all this haha. Or I might just grab a cup of tea and collapse in a corner somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EMMAlovesMUSE Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 loll some mentioning alcohol haha that didnt take long i been away a few days so got sum catching up to do. gathering strand is abandoned now then, lets just take on the rest of london woop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L. Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Drinks... did I hear drinks?? Shame about the station but yeah £1,000 is a bit steep anyway there are loads of other places in London. One advice, having done something similar once before I would avoid outside or inside a train station. This kind of things make the police very edgy!!
