Timed outline
The plan, with the boring-but-vital buffers included
Times show a usable sequence. Each segment also carries an honest distance state, access caution, pushchair note and child break. “Unmeasured” is intentional where no defensible route distance exists.
Day 1 — Dark Arts Studio visit
- 01Travel buffer
Booking − 3 hr • 45 min
Reach London Euston
Allow for hotel departure, station navigation and finding the correct National Rail train.

- Check every station, street crossing and destination separately; step-free rail does not certify the street route.
- Pushchair
- Prefer fewer changes and verify lift status, platform gaps and the final street approach.
- Child break
- Use the buffer for toilets or a short pause if needed; do not consume the next fixed-booking margin.
- 02Travel buffer
Booking − 2 hr 15 • 75 min

Use Studio facilities on Day 1 and Borough’s planned lunch on Day 2.
Known limitation
No street segment was field-timed or access-audited. Use the official journey planner and location access notes before travel.
