The missus and I are off work next week and were thinking of going to London to hang around the Quantum of Solace red carpet like crazy fans.

BUT, I have never done this and will likely end up getting there too late, standing miles away and needing a pair of binoculars to see any of the actors.

Anyone done this before and if so what time did you get there to get a good spot? Hoping for some shopping, eating, sight-seeing time before hand.

I've walked past at 8am and seen people waiting for popular films. Good luck!

Having managed to blag my way to a premier here a couple of times in the past - we had to be there about 2 hours before the showing as the celebs like to spend ages outside and we were told to get in to get seats.

I suggest you make a day of it in London and get out to there about 6pm and you'll be fine. Can then eat afterwards nearby.

Hmm, sadly not invited to the actual showing, just wanted to shout something lewd at Judy Dench...

I reckon I will aim for after lunch - will take the DS and some car magazines!
