Meetup in London, UK, Dec. 2006

November 5, 2006 8:52 AM

London Meet Up?: I'm (back) in London for a week in December and was wondering if anyone fancied a meet up. I'm around from the 7th-11th and could probably manage a night out on either the 8th or the 9th. North/Central London preferred. Camden/Kentish Town/Tuffnell Park/Archway would be ideal - but I can get pretty much anywhere zones 1-3 (now getting home, that's another matter)...

Any takers?

9th is out for me, but I should be able to join up later if it's the 8th (Friday). Anywhere easily accessible from the 'Stow is good for me.

I can do either night. I just moved here and need all the socializing/socialising I can get.

North/Central on the 8th sounds good to me.

By which I mean, 8th or 9th, of course.

W00t - I was going to suggest a pre-Chrimbo meetup. So far, any of those dates are good. Somewhere easily accessible from London Bridge/Charing Cross would be good. Last time's venue (The Bricklayers) was ideal, especially as it was really cheap - something that I know seemed to go down well with those wot attended.

Great stuff, a Christmas knees-up sounds ideal. Either date is fine, with a preference for the 8th.

I'll second the idea of a return to The Bricklayers. On the 8th. Please.Pretty please.

Sounds good to me too. Either the 8th or the 9th would be fine with me.

Would like to come on either night but cannot commit yet. Z1-2 preferred.

I also agree with everything. Except people suggesting the 9th. They are wrong, because I'm busy that day.

If it's the 8th I'll be there.
If it's the 9th then a CURSE ON YOUR HOUSE!!!

The Bricklayers is right next to my work. I like the sound of the 8th, too...
posted by Lillitatiana at 2:37 PM on November 6, 2006

I can't believe everyone is agreeing on the date. It's unheard of.

teh damnable innernets went down for every ADSL user in Western Kenya for 24 hours - the PAIN -ahhhhh.

Hence me no answer until now, it just came back up again...

Anyway - 8th is OK with me at the mo and clearly the Bricklayers is in hexactly the sort of area I'm going to be able to get to easily. It looks like there'll be a few of us, too, which is ace.

I'm going to try and encourage some non-mefites to come - including a couple of the regular Kenya blog ring members/readers in the UK. I'm not sure if there will be many takers from the group, but I hope no one here minds me asking...

So, what's the etiquette now we've dropped of the front page of MeTa? Is everyone here set for the 8th at the bricklayers? Do we post reminder nearer the date? I haven't been to one of these things in a while...

Perhaps you should make another post in two weeks with all the details.

Also post on MeCha. :D

Yes, I'm up for that, 8th or 9th. The Bricklayers is good for me, I take the Central Line.
