Factory tour

Ok guys and gals heading to factory next week looking for info on where to stay how to get there from London and any good pubs ?

Can't go wrong staying at The Bird In Hand, closest pub to the factory.

The Bird In Hand, Wreningham

The Bird in Hand is a family run freehouse and restaurant combining all the atmosphere of a traditional British pub with quality food and drink and comfortable surroundings.

Plus a while back Alex Brake (the manager I think) posted a discount promo code on Facebook: GROUPLOTUS2022, which might still work.
I've had lunch there a number of times and there's lots of Lotus photos etc on the walls.
Some people hire cars but the train from London to Norwich is good, then get a taxi.

Perfect thanks

I'm picking up my new Emira Turbo (the AMG i4) next week from the factory. I will be going from London so will be leaving from Liverpool Street Station. You may wish to take the inter-city style train (https://www.greateranglia.co.uk) it's about £20+ off peak after 9.30am for a single journey to Norwich, and takes about 90-100 minutes. Then you can take a taxi from Norwich for £25 (about 30 minutes) to the factory or take a short 10 min train down to Wymondham (£5.50 single and a £10 taxi to the factory), but the trains may not tie up, so you could be hanging around for a bit. Quite excited actually.

Taxis are few and far between at Wymondham - I’d get one from Norwich if I were you…..

What day you picking up your car I’m doing factory tour Wednesday morning

Apologies, only just seen the message. I picked the car up last Wednesday. True to form (trouble, serious, etc), having picked it up and down the motorway to Thetford and I had to return with a tyre pressure issue. Luckily a faulty sensor was diagnosed and replaced in 30 mins and back on my way....
