Yes and you have to understand, it takes a lot for me to enter a church(ha!).
But I was meeting one of my Christian friends there and indeed...nice/convenient place,lovely staff and fine selection of wares. The tap water is free!

Count me in! I'm happy to give you the Grand Sherlockian Tour if you need a tour guide. I do this a lot. 

Hi Boss.  This trip is taking on a life of it's own! Earlier this year I started dreaming about coming over to London in March in combination with a trip my husband would be taking to Spain. I had hoped to go to Spain too and then take a side trip to London.  The Spain thing fell through for me, but I decided to continue the idea of London and meeting  up with Tobe.  We figured out our dates and have coordinated.  I'm arriving Friday morning March 22 until Wednesday March 27.  Staying at the B&B Belgravia. Definitely the main reason to be there is all Sherlock related! I then found out Ivy and a friend will be there that same weekend and now also Susigo.  Crazy, huh! People have their own agendas I'm sure, but I'm easy and will go where the flow takes me - hanging out with Tobe.  I'm sure we'd love to meet up with you.  In my mind I keep picturing those of us who can, meeting on North Gower at some point on Saturday...maybe Sunday.  Of course, if the Sherlock crew happens to be filming anywhere in town - that's where I'll be! 

I've forgotten myself, when I said I'm there!
Ok I'm actually in London 7-14 April...is that different to what I originally said?!

Wow--this trip sounds fantastic! 

Besides hearing all about the places you see and all the fun you will have had meeting each other F2F, I would love it if there could be (hint, hint, moderators) a separate thread about places to stay in London (and other locales Sherlock films in).  That would make it easy for anyone to find the info when they need it as it woldn't be buried within a thread, like is already happening here.

For a while this past summer, I was planning a trip to London and Wales for next summer but that's no longer going to happen in 2013.  And one of the major reasons is because of the cost of lodging in London for seven days, which is how long I reckoned I'd be there.  Another was that it was hard to figure out what section of the city would be a convenient central location for what I wanted to do. 

So for all the people planning--or just dreaming!--about a trip to London, I think it would be very helpful and appreciated if board members who have direct experience with hotels/hostels/B&Bs could post about their experiences.  Thanks in advance!

I agree! I would like to (in a few years) head to London and a section on that would be very helpful.

How many people are definite for this now?

Tobe and I have had a small email discussion and thought maybe Saturday March 23 between 4:00 to 5:00 pm in front of Speedy's on North Gower (depending on the weather) for those who can and want to meet up.  Of course, there's a lot of time between now and March to make more definite plans.

Sorry, but in this case I think I won't manage to come as we're going to arrive on that day some time in the afternoon. 

Not definite, Susi.  Don't worry. We can work on other ideas.  It was just a first suggestion.  More ideas to come for sure.

Oh, damn, why would you meet up in March, I'm in the middle of my Abitur preparations then 
But I definitely want to go to London after I'm finished with school and then I can use all your advice and recommendations.. 

If you happen to meet the crew while shooting there - WOW, that would be amazing!

Has anyone of you ever visited the British Music Experience? I'd like to do it, but it could be a time problem. I think you need some time there.

Yes, I did. To me, it was unmissable. Of course you will be needing some time, because it's really interesting and there is so much to be done. And the O2 is worth a visit after all.
