Cycle Chat London Summer Drinks 31st July

[Trickedem]

Following the rip roaring success of the Christmas drinks last year I have taken it upon myself to organise some Summer time drinks on Friday 31st July. The venue is still to be decided, but it will not have music, therefore forcing us all to engage in scintillating conversation. There may even be a post-drinks meal of the curry variety.
If you are interested please let me know.

Interested.
Al Barone Shad Thames has a track record for being effective.
Just sayin'........

Previous experience dictates they'd welcome prior notice.....
If numbers are in volume...

 

[Flying Dodo]

Possibly interested.

Might be doing the hackney audax the next day so might pop in for quick drink only. will be working nearby that day at ex-employer so could swing by about 7pm ish. great idea, Tim.

All Bar One is fine at lunchtime but it can be an absolute nightmare on a summer evening. I jostled for 20 minutes to get a round at one of the previous Summer Drinks. Grim.

Date in the diary. Will revisit at intervals.

You always say that, but I think that was back in April 2011 on a day when it was quite busy. As far as I know people have met there several times since then without any problems at all.

Maybe I'm being unfair on the place. The bun fight to get the drinks made a lasting impression. When it's not packed it's delightful.

Buy a few slabs and meet under Waterloo Bridge.

Bookmarking in case I am in town. Is it a particular area of town we're looking at, if so I might be able to suggest a venue?

 

[Trickedem]

I wasn't impressed with All Bar One at Christmas. They have music that is played so loud you can't have a conversation.

My top 3 city venues, are The Phene, (down the bottom of Margeretta terrace, just off of the Kings Road), The Gun, (down Coldharbour, near Blackwall DLR station), and Waxy O' Connor's not far from Picadilly circus, if that helps. The added bonus with Waxy's, is that if you're a bloke, you get to pee in a bucket. I'd substitute The Coach and Horses, in Berkley Square (if a more traditional venue is required), or suggest the White Horse, in Parson's Green, if damnned fine Scotch eggs are your thing, or The Albert, on Kingston Hill, if people are based mainly way out west.

I'll turn up wherever it is

Just as well. It's your round.

great idea but (un?)fortunately I shall be on my way - on foot - from Geneva to Menton: 11 days in & probably footsore so in need of a drink....
