what station are you coming from ?

Timings all depend on what time the film starts and ends, then you have to get the tube back to Blackfriars or Charing Cross

I know this comes from the woman who once went to Milton Keynes for a screening, but is it really worth all that hassle? I wouldn't do it again, that's for sure.

Wouldn't it be easier and cheaper to just p*y for a cinema ticket where you are. I dont think
It's worth the hassle.

I know it makes it special but travelling time and cost of ticket makes it not worthwhile.

If you drive you will have a parking problem, especially if you don't know your way around. And your poor friend will miss out on the free cocktails. If you have the time, you and a friend could get the megabus down on thursday, spend the night at a cheap hotel and then travel back the next day by megabus for about the same price as 2 train fares. That way you would be having a proper break in London and get to see some of the sights. The Tune hotel, Westminster have rooms for £45 for that night. It is a 'no frills place but it is clean and comfortable and has everything you need in a very small room.
