I should think 10:00 am would be good for most people.

Either that or meet at Euston (assuming most people will be arriving by train? ) and pop into the British Museum first?

Tony (Tempra) are you still sorting out an schedule?

I arrive back from europe on the 31st Aug, so I'm planning to be there for the Saturday, doing the Sunday would be pushing it but it might be possible (wife dependant

).

Victoria is where my bus arrives, but if Euston is easier I can get the tube up there.

See you all on the 2nd

Who is planning on stopping down in London for the Saturday night & where/what area are you staying in?

Just thinking of keeping local for a few drinks in some Hotel bar!

Because people will be coming in to London from all directions it might be better to choose somewhere central.
My suggestion:

It's a few minutes from Leicester Square tube, has a nice coffee bar and is vaguely linked to photography

I MUST spend the night somewhere in London and I have nothing planned as yet since I was quite much relying on Rob to find something for me (or even offer me that famous little space on the floor of his place...), for I can only catch my flight back home on Sunday evening. So WHO ELSE will spend the night and WHERE!?!?!? Tell me. With Rob seemingly having disappeared from the face of this earth, I am quite, quite, quite at a loss with regards to that one night in London.

I may be able to provide some floor space in North London if anyone is stuck for somewhere to stay, i'll have to OK it with a few people though so let me know if you're in need...

Corinna I might have a deal sorted for a decent 5 star hotel in the London area. I'll let you know what I can sort out!:thumbup:

NoteGraphics · Aug 14, 2006

I'm going to try and sort out somewhere to stay (Probably a Best Western somewhere), but if I can't I'll have to bus down to London (damned if I'm taking my car hey !). If I have to bus it I won't be there until later in the day, is there someone who will definately be with the group that would be willing to email me their mobile number as a contact please ? I have this worry that I'll get down to London and not be able to find anyone as I don't know you guys...yet...

damn...

Isnt about time we got some exact times and a definate meetup place?

I thought it was at Victoria staition London 10am?

It is a good place for people flying in, plus a good palce to start as big ben, houses of parliment, st james park and the thames are all close by.

It would also be an idea to have a confirmation list, and where people are traveling from so as to benefit the majority.

OK so let's start at Victoria Station 10 am!:thumbup: Quick coffee then parliment/Thames then lunch. The rest of Saturday can be improvised at lunch! :lol:
