I think I'd like to try the Vic, but I'm not sure what the cab fare will be from here to there -- 'here' being a stone's throw of the British museum. ? If it's relatively cheap seems like a better bet than trying to navigate the tube given this is my first time in London.

For a first timer in London, riding the tube is a must, provided that you don't travel during rush hour.

From near the British Museum, you may not even have to switch trains. You can take the <font color="red">Central Line</font> from Holborn to Marble Arch, then walk up Edgeware Road to the Vic.

Mind the gap.

As a veteran of the Chicago "L" and the Boston "T" -- and taking the tube once already from Heathrow, and finding myself on the wrong train -- trust me, I don't think I'll be missing much else if I avoid the tube this time [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].

Also, I was considering this, from another poster:

"Not a Londoner, but I played at the Vic a few months ago while on vacation. The Vic is a few blocks away from the Marbe Arch tube stop. It's not a bad part of town, but I still wouldn't take the walk with significant cash in my pocket, especially the walk from the casino to the tube late night. "

Unreasonable?
