No such luck out of DFW so far, but still time and if makes sense to pay a penalty to change, then I'm on it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tour2ma Posted July 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2017 Bump... Here's a section from the British Bulldawgs Browns Backers FAQ post on Facebook ( https://www.facebook.com/groups/britishbulldawgsbrownsbackers/permalink/1549457255071088/ ): Q. Will there be events and fan meet-ups in the days leading up to the game?A. Yes, the Browns have been working on parties over the weekend and they are looking good. We do not yet know if this will be open to all or ticketed events. More details as we know them. Q. Where should I stay?A. London is HUGE and choosing a hotel really varies on your budget. If you don't know London, a few suggestions would be the Waterloo or Vauxhall areas, as they are both on the line for direct trains to Twickenham, yet still considered Central London and are on the London Underground. Another option would be Gloucester Road/South Kensington area, near many free museums. Fromthere, you can take the Picadilly Line (dark blue) into central London or the District Line (green) to Richmond where there will likely be shuttle buses running to Twickenham. Other areas of Central London worth looking into is anything on the Northern line of the London Underground, particularly the Charing Cross branch (areas like Tottenham Court Road, Goodge Street areas.) Q. How do I get from my hotel to the stadium?A. There's a variety of ways. It would be best to check with your hotel or on the Transport for London journey finder closer to the time in case there are any train closures that weekend. In the past, Twickenham has operated a shuttle bus from a tube station in Hounslow. I haven't heard if they're doing that this time but more details will emerge as we get closer. https://tfl.gov.uk/plan-a-journey/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tour2ma Posted September 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2017 LondonBrownsBackers have a facebook page and have talked about a team organized meet and greet (and party) Saturday nite to include a couple of former Browns. A similar do in Miami last year had about 300 Browns fans show. The former Brown was Leroy Hoard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep London is an absolute joke when it comes to drinking hours, pubs shut at 11 bars at 2, some clubs go on to 4-6 but they're hardly welcoming. Casinos are the best bet after 2.
