Cycle Chat London Summer Drinks 31st July

[MacB]

Tsk, tsk, always the naysayers........so are we going for a lunchtime start or is this a civilised session?

 

[redfalo]

Unfortunately, can't do the 31st have a jolly good time, but watch you backpacks

 

[Glow worm]

Tempted. And a nice late summer night wobble home from Ely station afterwards. Would be great to meet some of you lot too.

How about the Anchor, Bankside?

Central, traditional pub so shouldn't be noisy, and some outside space for quiet congregation/bike parking.

On a Friday evening, in summer, that will be rammed

On the last Friday evening before August, every single pub near The City is going to be rammed.

Not if you know the back ways and alley ways. Even right in the thick of it, you can find a bit that's not so bad (Lamb and flag in Covent Garden, the Mitre in Hatton garden) for example.

True.

...and landlords will be far more intested in hosing down City slickers with expensive champagne than accommodating a bunch of mere cyclists.......

The Lamb and Flag was rammed even back in the early Eighties. I know. We used to gather there before going roller skating in Jubilee Hall.

Again, if you pick your venue carefully, you'd be surprised ( the cow in Stratford ) for example. Easy to find, not overly busy, couldn't give a toss about the yarpy yarpy, barrow boy brigade.

It's a funny one, sometimes you can't breathe, sometimes you could do a breakdancing demo.

The Wetherspoons right by Angel tube station is a cracker, not overly rammed either. There's always good old Dirty Dicks in Bishopsgate.

The Roller Disco in Jubilee Hall was fun. I went there with a whole bunch of people including the girl I married. Love on sixteen wheels!

The blind beggar in Whitechapel, it's a bit 'studenty' nowadays, but it's near Brick lane (good for late night cuisine).

It was fun. About eighty people would weave around to the sound of cheesy disco music for a couple of hours...all kinds of people. There was a quite old construction worker who came in his site wellies and strapped some hire skates to the bottom of them. Some of the cool black dudes were altogether of a different league and went on to get into the cast of Starlight Express. We all rubbed along together with grins on our faces. I was never very good but we all had great nights out.
