6 days and counting(crossing fingers that BA doesn't muck me up). Are there any good budget(10-20GBP) Indian restaurants around Russel Sq.Bloomsbury?

I have a 700am Eurostar departure from St.Pancs. Is it best to take the Tube at that hour rather than trying to walk or catch a cab?

It'll be my first Easter in London and in the spirit of rebirth and regeneration-I'll be headed over to the DW exhibition at Earls Court. Will the Tube will be running on a regular Sunday schedule?

Thanks for your help with the flat and I'll try and report back.

Presumably you need to be checking in for Eurostar at 0630. First tube from Russell Square to Kings Cross is 0555 during the week, but 0649 on a Sunday. First bus 59 from Russell Square to St Pancras is 0504, running about every 12 minutes. During the week, bus 91 starts running to St Pancras about 0549 (Sundays would be too late).

The tube should be running Sunday timetables on Easter Sunday and Monday; from memory Good Friday is often a Saturday service.

You might need to keep an eye on engineering work: according to www.tfl.gov.uk, on 15/16 March there are engineering works on the Piccadilly Line west of Hammersmith, which shouldn't affect journeys to or from Earl's Court or King's Cross:

Looking at the map, if you're starting from Handel St, you might almost walk to St Pancras - it's about three-quarters of a mile - you'd have to walk half that to get to the bus stop in the first place.
