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

What happened to Hertz' suggestion of the coffee bar by Leicester Square?

as this is my first post, I feel a bit like a freak who's been hanging around for a while but is too shy to post... Which is kinda true. The freak part anyway...

But I've just noticed that you're all meeting on the weekend of the 2nd/3rd September and I wanted to let you know about an event some friends of mine are putting on in London that weekend that's a photographic treasure hunt, and from the couple I've done in the past, it's a great day out and there's always lots of stopping off for drinks involved!

It's taking place in East London on the 3rd September - meeting at Cargo in Shoreditch. You get given a cryptic clue sheet and are sent around East London taking photos and being creative. When you get back, your photos are judged and you could be in with a chance of winning some fabulous prizes, from iPods to art apparently...

There's more information on the website http://www.shootexperience.com and you can register there too!

Sorry for slightly hijacking your thread!

Sounds cool.
Seeing as sunday seems to be the most popular day, it looks like I will be coming on sunday, rather than saturday now - if I can make it at all, anyway.

RIGHTYO!

It is London.

It is 10 am.

It is London Victoria Train Station. Best place to meet is outsite WHSmiths by the Escalator. There are two that lead to a Bar (not open at this time -s sorry Chris

)

From there it is a short walk to Buckingham Palace, and St. James' Park, the nfrom there you have either walks to Parliment, Trafalgar Square or Piccadilly Circus and then on thrugh to places like Soho, Leicester Square.

All of which depends on weather of course.

Let me know which way you want to go.

See you all Soon.

p.s. What HAS happened to Rob ?

Not sure yet. He did tell me he was going through a rough spell & very busy and so was having a break from the forum.

I'm gonna give him a call in the morning to see if he's OK & if he's still coming (and hopefully bring the PE Prints with him? )

Bar not open? What's that all about???

Is there a cafe or something there to get a coffee whilst we wait for the late comers getting lost? :lol:

Rob told me only the other day that he IS coming to the meet-up ("of course"), and he's actually agreed to drive out all the way to Portsmouth very (!) early on Saturday morning to collect me from there (for there I shall be prior to the meet-up) and take me to the meet-up. Does that sound like he's coming or doesn't it. For if he does NOT come, then I can't be there, either. He only told me this about half a week ago, so I rely on this and no longer investigate in any train connections from Portsmouth to London...
Any news on where to spend the night, Chris?

From memory you can catch a train from Portsmouth direct to London Waterloo

Yep Portsmouth And Southsea to London Waterloo. Also you can change at Clapham Junction and then catch a connection to London Victoria.

Corinna if you need train times let me know by WEDNESDAY at the latest and I can private message you them or post them here if you like.
