Um, London Brit-muns?

[the_croupier]

 
 
So, um, yeah. In London for much of next week. Logistics, yikes.

So far I'm still on track for keeping Friday, November 16, and Saturday, November 17, mostly open in the hope that we can work out some time so I can meet at least a couple of you.

I'm staying with a friend who has a place near Knightsbridge, if that helps (which, of course, I recognize thanks to Neverwhere, much good all those medieval and early-modern history courses ever did me). =/

So! Thoughts? Any advice for a hapless American mun?

I work up the road from you!

And then drinks, there can be drinks on Friday night? Or Saturday?

[the_croupier]

Actually, I was wondering if Friday after work or something might be best?

[innerbrat]

Sounds like a plan. I'm going to suggest not in South Kensington or Kensington, though, thanks to prices.

Maybe the Doric Arch in Euston.

[the_croupier]

Sadly, I am filled with fail when it comes to London geography--for the moment, anyway. (Which is VERY annoying considering how much Brit-canon I've devoured over the years.)

But if wherever we end up is reasonable easy to reach from Knightbridge by a n00b, I'll be happy. =)

[innerbrat]

Everywhere is easy to reach from everywhere. It's called London Underground.

[the_croupier]

Ahh, excellent point.

I might be in the vicinity of Victoria for a bit on Sat, maybe. Waiting for my coach up to the Bridge. *waits to see what other people say*

[the_croupier]

I was *thinking* maybe Friday, after work or later? Or would Saturday really be better?

[surexit.livejournal.com]

Not do-able at all, unfortunately. But that's cool, Sat isn't really do-able either. I am only a London mun during holidays! :)

[the_croupier]

Well, I shall have to come back to London again, won't I? =)

[surexit.livejournal.com]

:D

[avariel-wings.livejournal.com]

Friday and Saturday I can definitely do, as always!

[the_croupier]

How about Friday after work? Or is later better?

[avariel-wings.livejournal.com]

I get off work at 4.30, so I can be in town by 6.30.

[the_croupier]

Sooo, 6.30-7.00 would be good then?

[avariel-wings.livejournal.com]

Yep! :D

[the_croupier]

And should we go with Debi's suggestion of the Doric Arch, Euston?

[avariel-wings.livejournal.com]

Fine by me. :)

[rowanberries.livejournal.com]

I'm free... Both Friday and Saturday, actually! Lecture Friday morning, but I can easily get up after that.

[the_croupier]

Friday after work maybe? Or would later be better?

[rowanberries.livejournal.com]

Should be fine - just let me know the time, and I can zip up from Brighton on the train.

[the_croupier]

I'm guessing at this point something like 6.30-7.00?

Just reading everyone's threads here and trying to see what would work for everyone.

[the_croupier]

Does the Doric Arch, Euston (Debi's suggestion) sound good?



(I posted this to my own reply before--*headdesks*)

[rowanberries.livejournal.com]

Can be done!

[wakeupnew]

... I think I am a London Brit-mun. In a convoluted sort of way. Anyway, if people are meeting up at some point next weekend, count me in. :D

[the_croupier]

Would Friday after work be possible, or would later be better?

[avariel-wings.livejournal.com]

You are an honorary London Brit-mun.

[necessary_child]

Haha, thanks Kate!

(From Lexie, being lazy on Bethan's computer.)

[the_croupier]

And would 6.30-7.00 be ok?

[necessary_child]

This is Lexie, on Bethan's computer; ignore the account! 6:30-7:30 sounds reasonable, as I get out of class at 5:00, but I may or may not be there; my parents will be in town this week, so my plans will depend on theirs. If they're as jet-lagged and cranky as I suspect they'll be, they'll be in bed and I'll be there for drinks. :D Just let me know where you guys are meeting, and I can find out later in the week if I'll be able to make it.

[the_croupier]

So far Debi has mentioned the Doric Arch, Euston?

Obviously, I'm gonna go with whatever you guys recommend. =)
