If you want to pay cash+BA miles for this flight, you also need to apply for a BAEC account and then either:
(i) purchase 3,000 BA miles for £63 (in addition to the £61.60 mentioned above); or
(ii) join my household account (in which case a few rounds of satay in Singapore in exchange for 2,250 of my miles would be fine ),
and then make the cash+miles award booking yourself.

Originally posted by jjpb3 View PostMeet near or at Paddington (I'd seen a couple of pubs around there, and there's always the Hilton's bar)Originally posted by UK flyer View PostThere are various pubs inside the station - one on the main concourse and another on the upper level of The Lawn called the Mad Bishop and Bear which I've been in before.
The pub on the main concourse of the station will no doubt be quite noisy and busy and whilst the other one - the Mad Bishop and Bear - seems quieter, it still looks from the picture like a railway station pub.
So how about somewhere further away from the station ? Having had a search, how about this place ?
Mizu, a bar in the basement of a restaurant called Yakitoria:
25 Sheldon Square
Paddington Central
London W2 6EY
Tel: 020 3214 3000
"We are located ... on the canal tow path immediately adjacent to Bishop's Bridge. The Hammersmith and City Line, Paddington Railway Station (at the rear of the station or along platform 8) and the Heathrow Express platforms are all within a few minutes walking distance."
Map here. One review:
Japanese inspired cocktails & a collection of 23 sakes are the main draws at this slick basement lounge bar below Yakitoria restaurant. Hailed as a ‘haven’ from the busy offices of the Paddington Basin above, Mizu has an interior design that combines a minimalist oriental aesthetic with comfy leather sofas. Choose from cocktails such as Tanuki – a blend of shochu, peach schnapps & peach purée – or if you’re thirsty a pitcher of Soyo Kaze: Mizu’s version of a Sea Breeze, at £14.50 for a jug for four people. The saké collection stretches from sweet to dry & covers the five main categories: Junmai, Daiginjo, Ginjo, Honjozo & Nigori. A stylish refuge when you need to escape from the world.

No comment... other wise I will get another kinky and inappropriate warning love letter.

Apology to the MODs for my OT here.

I hope you have a good T5 experience, SuperJonJon!
When you arrive and if you have time, you may want to take a lift to the departures level at the top as the size of the building isn't really evident from arrivals down below. (SIN T3 also seems pretty big too on my one and only visit so far.)
Afterwards, just take the HEX from T5 to T3 (it's free if you sit in standard class - no ticket required) and then drop off your luggage as mentioned by jjpb3.

(I don't know whether I'll be able to make it on Friday evening - it's a bit touch and go with work at the moment. If I can, I'll find you wherever you may be as I have your numbers.)
