Brought to you by Googlemaps. Someone is putting too much thought into this. Not very good either, every nub knows you don't initially base in a hospital cos that's where all the pre-zombies are brought before people know what's up.

I have a plan. A cunning one.

Screw you if you think I'm giving y'all a headstart though. Survival of the fittest and all that.

Lewisham??
Protip: All plans should probably avoid south London. There's a reason why they have huge police stations.

So they can fit the huge policemen obviously.

Fools posting their plans online. We now know there's an arms cache, supplies, food and reinforced buildings round there. We take it at dawn...

can we make it about 11am? dawn's a bit y'know. early.

Actually yeah. I'm fairly busy all day tomorrow though. Thursday too, now I think about it. Friday sound good?

Friday's fine as long as we stop by the booze shop on the way. That's a point actually, these noobs have left out the booze shop. Incompetent fools!

To the Waugh!

I don't think there's a plan that would survive the zombie apocalypse, for the simple reason it turns all humanity into your enemy. Try to find somewhere people aren't? You can bet your ass there's thousands of other soon-to-be-zombies heading there too. Anywhere you go will be full of either panicky, dangerous live people, or masses of hungry dead ones.

I suppose I'd go for my best chance being staying with the zombies in a relatively small population centre. Lots of other distractions for the zeds, most people leaving for quiet places and hopefully taking the horde with them, loads of supplies left behind. As long as you can stay discreet I'd hope that chances are most of the zombies would leave, following their food source, and the ones who stayed will likely be early generation and rot soonest. If you're nearby a supermarket, police station or hospital even better - any amateur survivalist is bound to attract all the attention to himself there and again draw it away from you. Even then I still think we'd be fucked.

It depends on the type of undead really.

If we're talking 28 days later which require food to survive (and so die without food after a few weeks) then all you need to do is hole up somewhere defensible with enough supplies to last until they perish. As long as it's defensible enough you could hole up in a population centre. Eventually the horde will eat its supplies and move on or perish.

If they're the type that'll keep on coming for many months (or years) until they rot to skeletons then obviously you need to find somewhere really remote so you're away from the horde for as long as you need to be. That place also needs to be self sustainable. Hence being far away, you'll probably need to do some small scale farming, and that's much easier without a horde on your front door.

Either way it's a waiting game, but the long lasting ones are probably the hardest to deal with.

Of course, that's not taking zombie speed into account. If they're slow shufflers, you'd probably be able to eek out an existance on the move by travelling from town to town getting supplies on the way and finding safe places to spend a few weeks.

Possibly a very large boat such as ferry/cruise liner. Provisioned with fuel and plenty of non-perishable goods along with a weapons cache in case of pirates, I believe life upon the water would be quite good.

Oh god, Dorf Fortress but with a zombie horde element to it. That would be distilled crack.
