Questions for UK residents, or those familiar with UK travel

I am seriously considering going to see Much Ado About Nothing.  I may be jobless now, yeah, but hopefully that won't be a permanent state.  And I do have money for tickets; back when it was announced John Simm was going to do Hamlet, I started a secret stash to try to go.  That didn't work, but the stash still exists, and it could cover at least

The tube is amazing, I would get a map and keep it with you at aaaaaaall times. And I second the Oyster card idea, you can get them from most places that sell tickets, and you don't have to worry about the hassle of buying a ticket every time you want to go on the tube. It's also smart, in that it'll always automatically give you the cheapest ticket (which probably won't matter if you stay in central London and don't stray out of zones 1 or 2, but it's nice to know) http://www.tfl.gov.uk/ is the Transport for London website, and is reasonably useful.

There should be somewhere cheap to stay, though I don't have any first hand experience (I have friends who live there, so I tend to sneak into their houses whenever I go down) Anything in central will probably be more expensive than something in the suburbs, but if you can get to anywhere that's near a tube station (or on a tube line), then being outside central won't really hurt that much. Don't know if http://www.hostelbookers.com/hostels/england/london/ will be useful or not. It's a big city (well, to our standards; it's not quite New York)

http://www.visitlondon.com/events/detail/10672020 shows that the Doctor Who experience is on til November 30th, so that's a gogo.

No idea regarding The Decoy Bride, sorry.

Personally, I live in Manchester, but London is only two hours away on the train for me, so it's no big deal for me to head down there. I go down every six months or so anyway to meet up with friends, so I can head down no problem if you wish!

I shall now turn off my information head and go back to eating Revels. Mmmmmm....

Oh, thank you for the links! Those will come in handy. If everything's so well connected, then I'm probably better off staying off in the suburbs.

I really want to do the Doctor Who Experience, especially since the Nine/Ten era TARDIS control room is there!

I wouldn't mind meeting up. I'll have no idea what I'm doing, so a native guide could come in handy!
