Advertisement Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 Hi earleygallery, Take a look here London 27th March. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
farnz Posted March 8, 2010 Share #22 Posted March 8, 2010 As I mentioned in a previous post I'm available on both dates and happy to meet up on both dates. A variation on James's theme might be to take a relaxing 50 minute canal boat from Camden to Little Venice (One way £6.50, return trip £9.50). I know of a nice old pub near Little Venice called the Warwick Castle, which has plenty of room, a snug, a good range of beers, mostly dark wooden wall, wooden tables and bentwood chairs throughout. Another possibility might be the Head of the River Race,which is 8-man crews racing from Mortlake to Putney, and is occurring on 27th March this year. (Watching rather than competing btw! ) And a third possibility is the London Chocolate Festival behind the Royal Festival Hall on the South Bank, which is likely to be rich with photo opportunities of people smiling. ... or we could simply spend some time in a suitable venue and over refreshments and discuss whether our watches go backwards or forwards that weekend. Just some thoughts ... Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xmas Posted March 9, 2010 Share #23 Posted March 9, 2010 Hi James No all the ideas are truly excellent, all we need is - more than one person - a time and place to meet and - PM exchange of mobile numbers, just in case. So anyone for 27th & where? I'd normally do the Lt Venice/Trellic Tw/Portobello Rd on Sat, CamdenMk has occasional 'excitement' now days and has more Plod consequently, think it is drg-rehab in community day. Drummond street for Hindu curry apres. Noel Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartinEB Posted March 20, 2010 Share #25 Posted March 20, 2010 I can probably do either date, and most of the suggestions sound good to me! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
biglouis Posted March 22, 2010 Author Share #26 Posted March 22, 2010 Having kicked off this thread I duly disappeared into a tunnel called work and I honestly haven't had the time to think or plan anything. What is more my creativity is exhausted at present so I am willing to meet anyone, somewhere at 11:00AM or thereafter in London if anyone is able to suggest a meeting point. Having said that - has anyone ever done Highgate??? Meet at the tube at 11:00 - walk around Highgate, hit one of several nice pubs by midday? Just a thought - or else if Farnz wants to suggest a meeting or end point for boat idea, I'm not too keen on a canal trip but I would meet up at the pub.

farnz Posted March 22, 2010 Share #27 Posted March 22, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) Highgate et al sounds like an excellent idea, Louis. Do you mean the public section with Karl Marx's tomb? The private section is the more visually interesting imho but we'd have to take part in an organised tour, which might prove challenging in light of the previous meetings' modus operandi of 'wander at will'. The curators get a bit touchy if you stray from the group. Are you suggesting meeting at Archway tube station at 11 am? Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
viramati Posted March 22, 2010 Share #28 Posted March 22, 2010 I could go with this. 11 am would be fine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim B Posted March 22, 2010 Share #29 Posted March 22, 2010 Sorry I won't be able to make it as I had hoped. Work requires my presence. Tim Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
biglouis Posted March 23, 2010 Author Share #30 Posted March 23, 2010 David, Peter and anyone else - a plan is formed. I suggest we do meet at Archway tube station at 11AM. It is a bit of an effort to get up the hill to Highgate but well worth it, especially as we can stop off at Suicide Bridge on the way. Then we could wander the high street of Highgate and end up down at Karl Marx's tomb before retiring to a pub for refreshments. Any more takers? A select few is fine but there is room for all-comers. We seem to be missing a few regulars, though. Louis Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve kessel Posted March 23, 2010 Share #31 Posted March 23, 2010 Might be able to make it Best wishes Steve Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
biglouis Posted March 23, 2010 Author Share #32 Posted March 23, 2010 Steve I do hope so. It is a drop-in, drop-out affair so there is no pressure on when you want to leave. If anyone wants my mobile number to contact me on the day then PM me Louis Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinEB Posted March 23, 2010 Share #33 Posted March 23, 2010 Hi all, I would like to join in and it sounds like a god itinerary, but have checked station closures. It looks to me like Archway station is closed on Saturday! http://www.tfl.gov.uk/assets/livetravelnews/realtime/tube/station-closures.pdf Do we have a plan B?

biglouis Posted March 23, 2010 Author Share #35 Posted March 23, 2010 Martin Good spot! Plan B: we meet at Highgate Tube station on the Northern Line at 11:00AM instead. Could be drizzling so lets meet in the ticket hall. LouisB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
George James Posted March 23, 2010 Share #36 Posted March 23, 2010 Louis, The post title is "Re: London 27th March", but the 10th April has also been mentioned, could you please confirm which date the meeting is so that there's no confusion.

George George You are right. I lost the thread of the thread! I hope this is not going to confuse or exasperate anyone but I've been talking about meeting this Saturday the 27th of March and not April 10th. If it is this Saturday, how does that affect everyone who has so far responded???? Once more for clarity: 11:00 at Highgate Tube Station (not Archway as previously described) on 27th March.
