The best way is on the overground rail links. West Hampstead has brilliant train links on the Thameslink line to Luton and Wellingborough (for Nene Park if they survive). The North London line from the other station takes you across to Richmond and Clapham Junction to get to Woking for the H&Y game. You could get across to Willesden Junction and pick up the London Midland train to get to Tamworth too.


The quickest way to get to Luton is via St Pancras. The West Hampstead line is painfully slow (but it does the job if you live in that area). If you get one of the East Midlands trains on the raised platform at SP, Luton is about 25 minutes. They go every half hour on the hour and half past.

eh?? when was the last time you tried that journey? It's exactly 30 minutes from West Hampstead Thameslink to Luton these days. It'll take you that to get from West Hampstead to St Pancras on the Jubilee/Circle line.

Just London commuting that does it to you.

Incidentally - the old East London line now runs from Highbury and Islington to Norwood Junction - very useful for the next time we play at Selhurst Park
