Default Getting to the American Embassy in London from Manchester?

I have to take the missus to the American Embassy on 26th July.

I really have no idea of the best way to get me and the Mrs to central london, I presume parking would be a nightmare, and i'd have to pay congestion charging? . but still possibly the cheaper option over trains?

ANyone any suggestions. I'm coming from Manchester By the way and have to be at the embassy for 11;45 am

Thanks

Andy

Virgin Trains from Manchester Picadilly to London Euston - takes about 2 hours 15 mins

I believe the Embassy is in Grosvenor Square - Bond Street is your closest tube I would get the Victoria line to Oxford Circus and walk the rest.

A little time spent on the Virgin website might pay dividends: I saved £80 , (Yes, EIGHTY) on a £132 ticket for a friend last year!!
