The Neopets team arrive in London, it is not
raining so that's a good start! After a long flight we are all pretty tired
so after a few hours seeing the sights we head off to bed.
We all go to the Capital FM studios, home of
Disney Radio for an interview and a tour of the radio station. If you want
to hear Donna and Anthony it is due to go out on Friday during the 4pm-7pm
show :)
Afterwards we head down to Shepherds
Bush to the home of the BBC. We had a tour of the place (its HUGE)
saw where Top of the Pops is filmed and then chatted with some CBBC
staff about Neopets and the Hamleys launch.

Day 3
The Neopets team start off the day going to Great Ormond Street children's
hospital where we have a full size Lupe walking around and we give away tons
of plushies. This was a lot of fun and the plushies went down really well.
Later on we have interviews with lots of newspaper
reporters including the Financial Times and even a TV interview - eek! If
anyone get London Tonight there is going to be a short bit about the
beginnings of Neopets sometime this week.
Day 4
This is the day we had all been waiting for. At 9am there is already a small
queue forming outside Hamleys toy shop. We sneak in the back entrance and
have a look around. There are large displays on each floor piled high with
voice-activated Neopets. Nervously we waited for the doors to open, and
everyone to arrive.
The day was a fantastic success, thanks to
everyone that came along. Anthony and Keith were drawing personalized
pictures all day and despite the wait to get your picture drawn being over 3
hours long at times there everybody seemed to be having a good time.
We talked to a lot of players and got some
very helpful feedback (you may notice some of the changes that were
requested on New Features this week). Hamleys was packed all day and they
even stayed open later for us.
It was a tiring trip but a lot of fun.
Thanks again to everyone that helped make it such a wonderful few days :)
