We're going to Thailand!

....to the Amari Vogue Resort in Krabi.

OK, so Tub Kaek beach is not quite as spectacularly stunning as Railay beach, but it's only a short boat ride to the jaw dropping limestone cliffs, and I'm sure we'll get some climbing done here and there...

Parking - and the lack thereof

If you're thinking of driving right down to the venue - parking is extremely limited and correspondingly expensive in central London, but here's a list of parking sites near the Registry Office.

An alternative, especially if you're driving down from the North, would be to park in the back streets near our flat - which is convenient for the A1, and most of those roads either side of the High Street are unrestricted on a weekend.

You can then walk to the tube (East Finchley station - 5 mins), where you can get the Northern line to Kings Cross and then the Circle or Metropolitan lines to Baker Street.
