The nearest tube is South Kensington on the District and Circle line.

If you buy a zone 1-6 card you wont need another ticket if we move on somewhere else.


So you can recognize me I will have this book

PM me for my mobile number but be aware that there is poor signal in the basement of the museum :sunny:


You forgot to mention the Piccadilly line that also serves South Kensington aswell.

You have no idea how much I want to come... I LOVE the natural history museum. I don't know if I'm at school, though. :(

That's about 4,000 miles away. There's no way I'd be able to go.

I realise I'm terrible for this - I'm so sorry that I'm that unreliable. I wouldn't like someone to cancel like that on me either. I don't come most times because I only go to make new friendships, because I want to be able to talk to people who think like me. But, a lot of the time peoples' AS seems to be only a part of their lives, and are only attending to find out more about their AS. I feel like I don't fit into any group, that is the truth. I suppose it's only human to really want to be understood, but I think I've got to learn not to place so much emphasis on finding someone who understands me, cos it obviously isn't making me happy. Besides, people with strong opinions do tend to fall out with each other, or at least in my experience.

Maybe we could meet up one to one sometime Raven, because I'd really like that. I'm not saying it out of social nicety.

I dont mind too much about people changing their minds, I understand as going to meet ups is nerve wracking sometimes, I think its hard for all of us.

It would be great to meet up, I will pm you when the kids go back to school and we can meet up for coffee and cake! :flower:

I think its often hard for aspies to get on with anyone, as we all have our difficult ways. I think the only solution is to be a bit forgiving of each other, for our faults and failings. Of course we all loose our tempers sometimes and everyone has disagreements and everyone (even NTs) has problems in friendships, but I think its worth it, to keep on trying and to be a bit tolerant and forgiving of ourselves as well.

Be great to see you soon, its been far too long :sunny:

Hi I would really like to attend this meetup, I find that I can connect much better with people in person than over an internet forum, and would really like to connect to other aspies which isn't something I really feel that I've achieved yet.

I live in the west midlands and it looks to me like the best way of getting there is by coach to victoria coach station, and to either walk or get a taxi from there. But I would have to be certain that it is definitely at the natural history museum at 12, as I would have to book coach tickets there and back probably about 3 weeks in advance.

I suppose I could get the train to Euston station and get a tube or two but I'm a bit frightened of going on the tube on my own.

That would be great to see you! It will definitely be at that time and place.

btw the website 'aspievillage' has a monthly meet up in Birmingham if that is easier for you to get to.

That's by far the best plan. Check the tube map - both Victoria and South Kensington are on the same lines - either district or circle line westbound will get you there in two stops. Victoria station itself is a very straightforward station to get around (if it hasn't changed since last time I went there, that is), and those two tube lines are probably the least eventful of all of London at the best of times. It'll literally take you 10 minutes to go using the tube from Victoria to south kensington.

Also....South Kensington? Yay, french quarter of london! :lol:
