Instead of going into Victoria, get off at Clapham Junction and get the overland to Willesden Junction and the Watford line from there.
Tramore had a disciussion earlier in the thread about going that way.

Norway are we still meeting you in Gatwick? If so maybe consider putting your bags in a locker at Victoria instead off going to hotel then pick them up after. That way we can organise an alternative route to wembley and share costs of taxi if necessary....

The strikers are probably QPR fans unable to get the day off

The chances of the strike affecting the tube service appear slim to me. Heathrow express to Paddington, tube to Baker Street, Metropolitan line direct to Wembley Park and change there for a jubilee line tube to Kingsbury. The whole journey will take less than an hour.
Fin - I think you're right. On the local news last night they said TFL expects to run a full service.
If their isn't a strike i'll be laughing.....20min drive to Denham, 7 mins to Wembley Stadium station, 5 min walk to Wembley Park Station, 3 mins to Kingsbury.....In pub by 10am........Planned to perfection

If no tube strike, I should be there between 11:30 and 12:00.
I'm gonna have a crazy journey. Gotta go from reading to my mums in Ladbroke grove to drop a shirt off for my sister to take to the game with her, then get to Kingsbury. Then on to wembely for the game, back to grove to catch up with a mate then back to reading. All on public transport. Not as bad as some of our overseas fans coming to the game but if the tubes are down the tubes. (couldn't resist that one) It's gonna be a long day. I've had a look on google maps and if the tube is totally buggered, I reckon I might walk from the pub to the game. Hopefully it will be less than an hour. Hopefully..... unless I'm half cut.... then I might take a little longer. LOL.
Mate, i won't be going anywhere until i meet you all to dish out the tickets.
If it's too crowded i might move on later. I'm actually getting quite excited now

I've decided I'm going to be in the pub for 10am too, Stainesy. We need an advanced Not606 party for the meet and greets

Can't wait. I could do without a tube strike though.
I have been speaking to a local taxi company in Kingsbury, Aran Cars (yes, they sound quite Irish). Tel. +44-20-8238 9919. They seem quite reasonable. They charge £30 for a taxi to Luton Airport and £49 for a taxi for 4 people from Kingsbury to Gatwick. Might be worth ringing???

Looking forward to meeting up again fella.......Should be a cracking day i reckon.
The strike I read about is a threat to switch off the electricity, which would absolutely bugger the whole of the tube network.
That is cheap Fingy, I work for Addison Lee and did a Westminster to Gatwick this morning for £80...
