Only four weeks to go people! I hope you have all got your cheap tickets organised! As it has proved suitable for the past two years, the venue will be The Shakespeare's Head, Holborn

Africa House, 64-68 Kingsway
Holborn
Greater London
WC2B 6BG

The pub is nice and large, with good prices (being a Wetherspoons!) and a varied menu with nutritional information available.

I hope to get there at around 11 am, so you can turn up any time after that - we will be there throughout the day, so even if you can only pop in for a short time, please do, it would be lovely to meet as many people as possible! 🙂

Please respond to this and let me know if you are coming so that I have an idea of who to look out for. Can't believe it's our third birthday already! :D

There isn't alot in it distance wise, but london having a coach station in walking distance makes it that little bit easier.

Victoria Coach station isn't within walking distance of Holborn for me. 😱 By my standards, it's barely within walking distance of Victoria Rail Station...

Incidentally, I don't know if this helps you, but currently Chiltern Railways have a special offer (at least at weekends, don't know if it's valid for travelling back during the week) whereby a return ticket (which I think is valid for a month) between any two of their destinations is ?25 max. 🙂 That's how William and I attended the Brum meet a few weeks ago...

Only trouble with that is, I'm not sure there's any direct bus from Marylebone to Holborn; you'd probably have to change, or take the tube (or walk at least part of the way). Still, Birmingham Moor Street station is virtually next door to New Street.
 
Realise I cannot raise funds to get to Manc, so was looking forward to this one, but now I have been told of a Stag do on that same day, so although I 'll be in London and drinking unfortunately I won't be in Holborn.

Have a cracker one & all.

Rossi 🙂
 
Robert.. Victoria rail station is about 10 min from Victoria coach station, have done it many times. Take Victoria tube (northbound) to Oxford Circus, change to Central Line (Red) (Eastbound towards Bank) and get off at Holborn Station then look for Kingsway and the pub, journey shouldn't take more than 20 - 25 mins
 
Marylebone to Holborn is just as easy and should take 10 - 15 mins..

At Marylebone take the Bakerloo Line (Brown) (Southbound) to Oxford Circus and take the Central Line to Holborn.
 
Less than two weeks to go! Please let me know if you are coming - we'd love to see you even if you can only make an hour or so! 🙂 Also, for those farther North, don't forget we are also having a Manchester birthday meet on November 19th 🙂
 
This one might just be doable for me :D I'm going to try real hard to be there it would be so nice to finally put faces to names xxx
