I'm defo going to Metallica now
Was starting to think I was going to have to walk
Had a look at late hotel bookings, booking at same time as booking the train
It worked out the same price to book a hotel and leave london Paddington at 10am as it was for the sleeper train ...... which would have been a mad panic to get back to
Hotel 0.1 miles from Paddington, so i'm guessing it's nearly on the doorstep  |

Just found this Wicky....
As you will know, Metallica will rock the O2 Arena on Monday night but the Indigo2 will open its doors at 2pm for a whole day (and night!) of Metallica-themed entertainment.
The Metallica 'Death Magnetic' pre show and after party at the Indigo2 this coming Monday September 15th.
The Metallica pre show will take place from 2pm until 8pm and the after party will take place from 10pm - 1.30am with river taxis running until 3am. Entry will be free for those who are going to the gig and you will need to be over 18 to gain entry.
So it looks like the gig is from 8:00 till 10:00 ish.........
Damn I coulda gone then |

O2 have said finishing between 10.30 and 11 ...but even if it was 10.30 i'd spend the whole gig panicking bout very busy tube stations and missing my train 
So I can relax and enjoy it now |
