I've just been up Kingsway, and people attending this meet should be aware that the Shakespeare's Head is currently covered in scaffolding, making it difficult to spot especially from the road. 🙄 However, it's not far from the main exit of Holborn tube (turn left as you exit, it's about 50m)...

Thanks for letting us know this, for me as long as I can get to the bar I dont care what the place looks like:D
 
Thanks Robert for the heads up x
As long as the bar staff are hot and the meal is hotter i dont mind what the appearence of the pub is like

I was thinking of garnashing it with that paint of yours, it would look nice as an ornament then x :D

Thanks Robert 🙂 They're taking their time - I'm sure it was covered in scaffolding this time last year! 😱
 
I'm probably going to be getting into London somewhere between 9 and 9:30am on Saturday.
 
I'm hoping to arrive in Waterloo around 10:00, all being well, so will head straight for the venue 🙂
I might actually go and sit in Victoria embankment gardens depending on how busy it is on the circle line. It's quite easy to walk up to Holborn from there.

It's a nice quite garden which just happens to be right next to the London building for my professional institution. Unfortunately they won't be open on a Saturday so I won't be able to pop in and grab a free cup of coffee!

Apparently that's going to be the best place to watch the Lord Mayor's fireworks at 5 pm 🙂

Unfortunately I'll be back home by then so I won't see those. I cook supper in the evenings and I'll need to be back before then (we eat at about 5:30 ish).
 
Alan is this thing with the firework display at 5 set in stone? or can people just come and go as they please.
 
Hope you all have a great time in London - won't manage this year - but will be in Manchester

Enjoy!
 
Sorry I can't be in London for the meet, it would be great to actually put faces to names, hopefully I will be able to come to one in the near future

hope you all have a fab time, enjoy
