Suggested Itinerary – Saturday 19th June 2010

For lower sixth formers thinking about applying to art school this autumn/winter, the best day to be able to take in more than one show would be Saturday 19th – when in theory it would be possible to do Wimbledon, Chelsea and Goldsmiths. But relying on public transport makes Goldsmiths tricky – particularly at the weekend. Therefore the day could finish with a visit to Tate Britain

09:30 From London Euston to Wimbledon (35 mins): take the Victoria Line (tube) towards Brixton and change at Vauxhall for the mainline (South West Trains) to Wimbledon.

10:00 Walk to the Palmerston Road site (arrive 10:15) then at 11:15 walk to Merton Hall Road (arrive (11:30).

12:30 Lunch/travel back to Wimbledon mainline station. Wimbledon to Pimlico (25 mins): Take the mainline (South West Trains) to Vauxhall then change for the Victoria Line (tube) to Pimlico. Walk from Pimlico to Chelsea College (arrive 13:30)

15:00 Visit Tate Britain - Exhibitions http://www.tate.org.uk/britain/exhibitions/

16:30 Walk back to Pimlico: Take the tube (Victoria Line) back to Euston.
