I am going to be in England from March 15 - March 20, staying in London. While I'm there, I'd love to come check it the EC premises, but Google says it is a 7 hour trip each way via public transport. Is it easier than that or is it just that difficult to get there via public transport from London?

As far as I remember the coaches between Manchester and London were less then half the price of the trains, and took close to twice the time to get there "Sapere Aude"... Dare to KNOW! The written word is the only truly efficient vehicle for transmitting a complex concept from mind to mind... 103% of all people do not understand statistics... Do not adjust our mind, theres a fault in reality :-)
