    Here you go.

    I went Friday. Quickest way from Bromley (IMO).

    Bromley North to Lewisham.

    Lewisham to Woolwich Arsenal (Gillingham train).

    Go down the stairs at Woolwich to the DLR & go to West Silvertown. 10 min walk from there with someone directing you every 100 yards.

    Return from Pontoon Dock (or Prince Regent) as you could only arrive via Custom House & West Silvertown.

    Bromley North to West Silvertown took 1 hour.

    Ours started at 13.30. I caught the 10.05 from BN & was there by 11.05. Beers until 12.15, then went in.

    If you get there & want a beer. Just before the entrance ie about 150 yards before on the straight run up to the entrance, there's a Carribean cafe/bar. Lager £3.50 a pint.

    Inside the venue they also sell draught pints for roughly the same price & you can take it to your seat.

    (Unlike in the Olympic Stadium where a small bottle of lager is £4.30).

  • DLR shuts at gone 2
  • do two people get bronze medals in boxing? don't understand how the winner of this agogo match gets a bronze guranteed
  • Both losing semi finalists get a bronze.
    No boxer has to fight again after losing (no box off for bronze).
  • ah right thats what I thought cheers
  • i like that
  • And Ogogo IS guaranteed a bronze at least now !
  • He's got a future
  • Blimey, this Irish bird looks pretty handy!

  • Joshua impressive
  • Women's finals are on 16.30-18.00.

    Our girl Nicola Adams starts first I think.

  • Nicola Adams about to enter the ring, fighting for gold.
  • Hoping, rather than expecting against the 3 times world champion
  • And Katie Taylor on soon too.
