Regular trains to Milton Keynes run from London Euston station. The nearest station to the con is Wolverton (one stop north of Milton Keynes Central), about five minutes' walk away.
The Old Bath House is next to the large Tesco store in Wolverton. Once you get off the train, ask for directions to Tesco, climb the stairs by their front door, and you'll be outside the entrance to the Old Bath House.
HOW MUCH?
£5.00, payable on the door. This'll cover the cost of hiring the hall.

For other food, there's Tesco (with a coffee bar) and various takeaways in Wolverton.
