Hi there. MMF here.

If you get stuck, I have floor space. It would be an air-bed with duvet, clean linen etc. as I only have a one-bed flat. It's in Brentford, which is about an hour from Holborn, and the same for the return to most of London's main-line stations. As I'll be going to the flat myself, I could guide you there. Up to you! It would be tube from Holborn to Hammersmith, then (conventional or Night) to Kew Bridge. I do suggest getting an Oyster card (£3:00 + top-up) otherwise it could work out pricey buying individual tickets. An Oyster card effectively gives you half price travel on and Tube, then you can just get a one day travel pass to zone three, valid until 04:30 am.

Fantastic mate!! That would be superb if I could take you up on that! So, should I get an Oyster card when I get to Paddington tomorrow morning, then? I have no idea how these things work, round 'ere it all be fields...

I was hoping to head to the Natural History museum on Sunday, so I hope you won't be offended if anyone offers me space closer to the centre and I take it? At this short notice, I doubt anyone will, but I thought it best to mention the possibility now rather than risk p***ing you off later

I'm off to play now, but will be back later tonight. Thanks very much for this, it's very kind of you!

No worries mate. You can leave it as late as 23:00 tomorrow. Not a problem. The duvet and pillows are already made up. and there is the sofa for a quick fix if necessary.

I would suggest the Oyster, but calculate it when you get here. It is 80p for each journey, instead of £1:50, and will involve at least two tomorrow, saving £1:40, assuming you don't get to my place, while the tube is £2:00 with or £3:00 without.. I make that at least £2:00 saved, making a minimum of £3:40.
