I'm currently sat in the departure bit of St pancras, with my bike in a home-made bag. Getting through security was a doddle, I just had to use the wide x-ray machine (last one on the right). There's plenty of space on the carriages, I'm just going to have to careful I don't stow it where some idiot can dump their suitcase on top.
Tip of the day - get a small block of polystyrene from some old packaging and wedge the teeth of your lovely chainring into it to keep it looking lovely after resting it on the floor / dropping it twice. Ditto fork ends. Bonus tramp points : collect said piece of polystyrene (or cardboard) from a bin at the station, saves you carrying it.
I'll update with photos and the return journey in a week - I'm too tight to pay the £3/MB that the bastards at O2 want for data roaming.
