Drive (From Grantham) to Huntingdon/St Neots, ThamesLinc to London Bridge, Breakfast/Brunch/Lunch/Drink Borough Market, then London Bridge to Sutton for 3 points. Return journey changing at Norwood Junction.
NB. Only £35 Super Offpeak Return (2+1 with Friends & Family Rail Card) from Huntingdon or St Neats (More than double from Peterborough and a lot more from Grantham). So short drive, and "Let the Train take the strain" as they used to say.

Loads of great pubs around London Bridge tbh. The thameside is a great pub and views right on the Thames. Not been around that area for a good few years but always loved mooching around borough market. Tbh, you aren’t going to go massively wrong with wherever you choose tbh. Just note that, Palace, millwall, QPR, and charlton are all at home on Saturday so could be very busy with supporters

Living down here in London the Wimbledon and Sutton games this week are one of my few chances to see Town...
I had assumed most tickets are just QR Code generated - but appears the shop is sending out physical tickets....
Is this the usual process? Seems a bit old-school....
I see Wimbledon I can buy on the door so no drama.... but seems a bit old-tech to have physical tickets... I went to Welling v Truro the other night and even they had e-tickets

This is the club that released a DVD in Feb 2024 that you’re talking about isn’t it?

Think it's something to do with EFL clubs and how they do tickets as there were loads of clubs doing QR codes in the NL season. Funnily enough, last season's Wimbledon tickets were QR codes that were on sheets of A4 printed paper that were sent via post if you weren't able to collect from BP.

There's obviously an incentive to produce paper tickets as money can be made on postage. The clubs even post qr codes on occasion!

Me i am a dinosaur that still likes to get old fashioned tickets through the door and stick them on plate rack ready for use. As i type Wimbledon & Sutton stood ready to go QR code tickets my sons photo shop for me so all i have to is pull up the photo, rather than go searching retrieving it somewhere on my phone. It is what it is . I get there in the end UTM

Re Sutton - can you pay on the day? Also, looking at their site, you can get a bus (413 or 80) from Morden to Gander Green Lane (runs by ground)?

I see Millwall are at home to Birmingham.
London Bridge could get a bit lively.
I'm going via Victoria. The Victoria line down from Kings Cross is rapid.
