Europcar was supposed to be opened but it was NOT. JR called the helpdesk centre and found that the guy who was supposed to deliver the car to us was on MC! We were told to wait while they send someone over to pick us up to their Kings Cross branch.<\/p>\n

We collected our pre-book tickets for 11 AM from the ticketing booth. All visitors are required to book tickets in advance for the visit. No tickets are sold at the Studio Tour. This was the reason why we had to be at the studio before 11 AM.<\/p>\n
