I'm thinking of heading  to Ruislip for the Cavan v London match on the 20th. Never been before and haven't a notion about London or Ruislip. Any advice on good spots to stay the night after??

Have been to Ruislip a good few times Myles. Ruislip is a typical borough of London. High St with typical english pubs Which are too bright and have too many slot machines. It's a good trip out on the Central line. the Days Inn would be your handiest hotel to the ground if you wanted to stay local with Heathrow being by far the handiest airport. I'd stay more central and travel out for the game then back in

there's a social club at the ground with reasonably priced beers.

I was there once.
Never want to see the place again
Wanted.  Forwards to take frees.
Not fussy.  Any sort of ability will be considered

South Ruislip the nearest Station if that's any help.

We're going to bring home the SAM

Can't help thinking if it was Tyrone travelling, there'd be 5 pages by now on airports, tubes & Big Ben.

We flew into Heathrow on the morning of the match.
Hired a car between us for the day and drove down to Ruslip.
Very handy drive and had a Sat Nav which made it hassle free.
Parked in he ground and then drove back to Heathrow for the last flight home that night.

Recommend Camden, great spot for bars. Northern line southbound to Euston, change for Victoria line southbound and get off at Oxford circus......then hop on Central Line westbound to South Rusilp...take about 50 mins in total. Rusilip is a mile out and a kip. Avoid Leicester square at all costs....Temple bar crossed with The Only Way is Essex....

Camden has a rake of class bars...lock 17 by the canal/market is decent. The Oxford Arms is a good solid Mayo pub if you are looking for any Irish Sport/Sunday game that night.

No mention of the Swan Stockwell as a high quality establishment?  :o Championship days out in Ruislip are always a good excuse for a day on the beer for us exiles, looking forward to it.

Leave him alone. That kind of tale would have audiences spellbound at wakes in Fermanagh, with a round of applause and a couple of free drinks for the storyteller. Did you bring home any spices?
I wanna have my kicks before the whole shithouse goes up in flames.

Got a wee bottle of olive oil for clearing ear wax.

The prequel to my one and only appearance in London club football was a trip across the top shelf in that place. Was delighted to see a pretty old guy approaching me the next day at throw in. Fcuker never stopped running though, appearances were deceiving. No idea who won the game, there was a fair few rows and we all had a few pints after.

If your staying in central London? Try travelodge in Marylebone. 6 or 7 minutes to the West end by taxi . Its beside Marylebone Station on the bakerloo line also you can get the train direct from there to South Ruislip, takes less than 20 minutes.
