Note the date. I owe some of you an apology, but there's reason in my madness, and this reason is a good 'un.
This year's get-together will be kind of like the last two years. We'll leave Hyde Park Corner at 11 in the morning. We'll wander around, covering about twelve miles, and fetch up at Shad Thames at about 3 in the afternoon. Last year we had two themes, but this year I'm going to keep it simple - we're going to see the best 10 buildings in Central London*. And when I say the best ten, I mean it - anybody who argues about inclusions and exclusions can kiss my candied architectural arse.
I'm not giving you the list now, but Christ Church Spitalfield is top of the list, and that's the reason behind the date change. We can't get inside on the 28th, but we can on the 29th. I've got some arranging to do on other fronts, but there is one private house on the list, and the occupiers know we're coming, which is good. There are some old favourites, including two side by side in the City.
So............do please let me know in the usual way. I'm afraid that this year I'm going to to insist on the usual conditions - CTC members (affiliated or full) get on the ride, and there's five spaces for LCC/BC riders. If you're a newcomer I need your mobile number, and confirmation that you've read the 'basics' - there's a link below.
* 'Central' means no Segal houses and no Neasden temple.
