Being a northerner I don't know London?
So which station is the best for walking to excel?

gamer Mac, an indispensable aid to get around London is an Oyster Card. It makes all Underground travel so much easier, and buses no longer take cash at all.
I am going to build a wargames army, a big beautiful wargames army, and Mexico is going to pay for it.

I am thinking of making myself a conspicuous LAF badge to mark myself out as one of the members of this deranged esteemed forum.  I will be on my own so please stop me and say hello.

I have to agree I can see the appeal of this as well, I will (probably) be by myself as well and would love to meet some forumites.

Finances won't allow me to go this year either. Finally found a negative side to divorce  :D

Thrown caution (and the mortgage) to the wind and am now going......

There is usually an informal meeting of LAFers around 1pm. Historically it has been by JimBibbly's Oshiro Model terrain stand... Everyone stands around nervously shuffling their feet not wishing to the first to ask if anyone else is a LAFer ;) lol

6milphil has made badges in the past (I've got 4 different already :D )
Don't know if he's doing it this year as he's probably up to his elbows in resin, casting pieces for his kickstarter  :)

This was posted on the Salute FB event:

Many people may have seen that Custom House on the DLR is closed this year, and not allowing people to exit for the ExCel Exhibition Centre. There is no need to worry, the next station Prince Regent is open, and as Salute 2017 has moved right down to the east end of ExCel the show will be closer to this station.
So it will should be easier to get in to the show this year, less of a walk!!

So that solves that problem, lets just hope everybody sees and knows this to avoid undue confusion.  lol

I don't suppose there's a handy list or thread somewhere that has details of any companies offering pre-order discounts? I know a few have in the past and I've regretted missing out!
