EPT london location: http://www.europeanpokertour.com/vic...Directions.pdf

WSOPE location:
http://www.multimap.com/maps/?&hloc=...H7NA|WC2H%207NA

they're pretty far apart. at the very least an underground ride + a walk. Dunno anything about housing near each, but anything near an underground could work - some rides longer than others obv.

It's not too hard to have a half hour underground ride tho.

There no more than 20 minutes walk away from each other. I have no idea how much you guys would be willing to spend, but London propery is very, very expensive these days and that includes short lets. Central London is particularly bad. I suggest areas on the fringe of the centre like Earls Court.

yah doing this going to buy my Barc seat through stars.

I made WCP so that may conflict with WSOPE. I actually need to talk to stars see if the accomidations I get with WCP I can get extended a few days earlier instead of buying 2 diff pakages and hotel rooms which will prob overlap.

stars responded, apparently they charge current exchange rate value, which they said is $W12555 for 9100 euros right now. google says it's 12482, but whatever.

I go by what XE says at the time of the mail. It's saying W$12523 right now - I just let people take whatever I originally quoted, or the current rate if it's a better deal for them.

Sciolist what can stars do for me since I am going to be doing both EPT Barcelona and WCP at the same time and both packages will be through them is there a way to simplify it or just treat the 2 as completely separate.

are there going to be places to rent around here? any suggestions on where to look? Are we going to get ripped off on the internet, or is it all just gonna be [censored] expensive?
