Btw, I've just tried those Dominos chewy cookies, they're gorgeous!

Are any of you on facebook?

Yahaaaaa, I'm not the kinda guy who would blithely advertise things, but I definately vouch for domino's cookies. Well, ANY Domino's product. If I could afford it, and didn't care about becoming as big as a whale, I would live off Domino's food.

Yea, I'm on facebook. I spend WAY too much time on there. However due to one of my exes twisting the knife I put up all my privacy and security settings to maximum so its virtually impossible to find me.

The London Wetland Centre is situated about 25 minutes from central London, on the banks of the River Thames in Barnes. It is easily accessible by public and private transport (view Quickmap1 to see how you can get here). A one-day Travelcard (zones 1 & 2) allows you to travel by tube and bus direct to the centre:

Address:

WWT London Wetland Centre
Queen Elizabeth's Walk
Barnes, London
SW13 9WT

T: 020 8409 4400

By bus
Hop on the number 283 Duck bus, direct to the centre from Hammersmith bus station (stand K). Alternatively buses 33, 72 and 209 stop nearby (alight at the Red Lion stop, approximately 150 metres walk from the wetland centre). Please note: outside of opening hours (i.e.before 9am and after about 5.45pm) the 283 Duck Bus terminates nearby in Barnes, rather than coming directly into the centre.

By rail
Barnes rail station is just 25 minutes from Waterloo or 10 minutes from Clapham Junction. It is then a 15 minute walk to the wetland centre (or 5 minutes by buses 72 or 33). You can also alight at Barnes Bridge station then walk through Barnes village (about a 15 minute walk) or catch a 209 bus (alight at the bus stop opposite the Red Lion pub, which is approximately 100 metres from the centre).

By tube
Hammersmith tube (on the Piccadilly and District & Circle Lines) is the nearest tube station. From here it is just a 10 minute bus ride (see ‘by bus’).

By coach
The centre has parking for nine large coaches. Parking is free for coaches bringing visitors to the centre, but places must be booked in advance. Drivers should note that coaches are not permitted to use Hammersmith Bridge.

By bike
The London Wetland Centre is situated on Sustrans Cycle Route 4, which includes access from the River Thames towpath. Cycling makes for an environmentally friendly and pleasant way to arrive at the centre and in addition to standard cycle racks there are fifty secure bike cages (please supply your own lock).

On foot
The centre is easily accessible from the River Thames towpath, situated on the south bank between Hammersmith Bridge and Putney (about 25 minutes walk from either location).

By car
There is ample free parking for visitors arriving by car, although where possible we would encourage our visitors to use more environmentally friendly forms of transport.

The centre is located just off the main A306 which runs from the South Circular at Roehampton (with easy access to the A3) to Hammersmith (just minutes from the A4/M4). Once in Barnes you can follow the brown tourist signs to the centre. The centre is situated outside the London Congestion Charging Zone.

By taxi32
If you are travelling to or from the centre by taxi we encourage you to use the taxi company Green Tomato Cars. This company uses a fleet of the most viable environmentally friendly cars and offers the service at competitive rates. For more information please see their website http://www.greentomatocars.com 2or call 020 8568 0022

I might be up for that. I am a big fan of ducks. It is also not far away from me.

Thats Great !

I love ducks too! There should be lots of baby birds about at this time of year aswell

i agree - a lot of women are very feminine, curvy, and very attractive - why do they think they are fat? silly girls

Monday is not a great day though

I know -its annoying but the only day I could do it was that monday

If I organise anything else I promise I will do it on a week end

Wouldn't it be easier to meet up at the station and go to the place together?

I thought about that.

The problem is then I have to wait for people in a busy station rather than sipping coffee and also several people tend to be late and it could be stressful waiting for them.

But I will keep it in mind, if people who are coming would rather meet at the station we can easily do that

Isn't there a coffee shop in or near the station? lol. It'd be cool to all walk down there together or get the bus.

A meat up!

Are you commiting to coming then? I would be bad sport to make me change the arrangements if you are not actually coming.

I would be going to hammersmith rather than barnes station. I will ask my friend who lives in hammersmith where a good coffee shop by the station is.

no - Im vegetarian lol !

Do you think you might come along? It would be nice if you could.

I might do. I was just thinking that would be easier for people who didn't know the area. Ok cool
