Game On exibition question

[phillai]

Errr... I loved the last one a few years back and I'm wanting to go to the Game On exibition again. next month, when I pop down to London for the day.

But I would like to ask... Realistically, how long would I need to fully appreciate everything that is there as half my other day is also going to be spent at the ATEI arcade show at Earls Court as well.

Also, does anyone know what time the Game On Exibition closes, normally?

Cheers to all replies.

P.S. Extra brownie points to anyone that can help me out with this question. When I arrive in London, I get off at London Kings Cross. Obviously I wanna try and visit both Game On and the ATEI arcade show.
I understand both the London Science Museum and Earls Court stops are quite far apart. Which one should I goto first bearing in mind I wanna end up around the Soho, TCR, Picadilliy and Leicest Square area in the early evening...

I don't really wanna be running around London like a headless chicken going to and fro!

Been there twice now, once with my Uni for free and once with the guys from work to play the PS3 (crap). As per your query, it would prob take about 2 hours to get everything at the Game On exhibition in and it closes at 6pm.
Regarding you travel, get off at Kings Cross and take the Picadilly line and both Earls Court and South Kensington are on that line, so be very easy to travel between them and then back to Kings Cross.

ezee ryder, so what ya saying is that it'd be best for me to goto the ATEI show first and not Game On first right?

I've got very limited time. I get to London for 12pm and both these shows end at 6pm!

I not got much time to time waste...

Also ezee ryder, is that videogame book shop still there? Do they sell anything else unusual?

[ezee ryder]

well I haven't been to the ATEI show so I dunno how long you need to spend there. When you get off at Kings Cross and take the Picadilly line towards the stations I mentioned in the first post, South Kensington (station for Game On) comes first and the next stop is Earls Court (station for ATEI show) so its really your pick as the two stations are really close to each other. Lastly I don't know about the book shop, got a feeling it is still there though.

You beauty! Just seen the tube map and they are indeed next to each other!

I thought they were miles apart! Thanks dude!

[ezee ryder]

No Prob!

You can walk it in 10 mins between the two (I used to go to Imperial which is on the same road as the Science Museum you see)

Quicker catching underground though, right?

[Mayhem]

Oh true, just about, if you take into consideration actually getting into the Underground system, waiting for a train, going one stop and then climbing all the way out
