Slime shops London

I am travelling from Birmingham to London tomorrow to take my daughter to see Six The Musical near Charing Cross at 4pm.
my train gets into Euston just after 1pm and I was wondering if I would have enough time to head over to Gootopia in Brixton and get back in time for the show.
my daughter is absolutely obsessed with artisan slimes. Is Gootopia any good? If we aren’t able to join in a session she would be very happy looking at them and buying a few.
Are there any other slime shops selling slime that you could recommend? I saw one in Tooting but with time
constraints that’s likely to be a bit far out.

You could do it but it’d be a bit tight. You need to be at the theatre around 10-15 minutes before the production starts. Check with TFL journey planner that the tube connections are running ok.

My app says it should take approximately 40-45 mins travel from Euston - definitely doable depending on how long you want to spend in the shop. Quickest route showing is the Victoria line to Brixton and then the no.45 bus for a 5min journey. Good luck 🦠

I would try swapping to an earlier train. That would be tight.

Thank you all. Unfortunately my husband has hooks non-refundable advance train tickets.
I’ll play it by ear and keep my fingers crossed. It would really make her day.
if not it gives us a good excuse to come back in the summer 😊

Thameslink trains go every 15 minutes or so from Euston to Loughborough Junction - 38 minute journey - and then you’re just a two minute walk away from Gootopia, according to Google. It should be doable!

I’d do thameslink. There’s also an awesome coffee shop at Loughborough junction called Four Boroughs.
