So I've been saying for awhile I would arrange a London meet, and now the Brum one has been and gone I thought i'd do it now :)
@katie-elizabeth @ayemee & @Flutterby are meeting up on the 4th of July also so thought we would turn it into a meet and see if anyone would like to come?

I was thinking maybe a picnic in Regents park? its a 20 minuet walk from Euston station (which I think is where people would mostly come in to from outside of London) or one stop on an underground train. I would obviously meet people at Euston station as i'm sure people dont know London or how to work the underground haha.

If the weather is bad obviously we wouldnt be able to picnic so I was thinking there's a TGI Fridays in covent garden with a huge bar area, as well as a few wetherspoons that we could invade if needed. Covent garden is 4 stops from Euston on the underground so not far either and of course I would take anyone who came there and back afterwards.

For the picnic there are a few restaurants and bars in regents park but of course this is London.. so they're all quiet expensive. I thought it would be a nice idea if everyone bought a bit of food and drink if possibly? If not then no worries! I can bring blankets and pillows and stuff but there are loads of benches around regents park too for people who don't wanna sit on the floor haha.

What time you say? around 11-12 I think would be a good time for people getting into London.

Also 18+ for security reason & in case we change to a pub!

@Tim London meet :)

We may be able to come. Would just depend on whether Ross is working and when piggy clinic is. We had a London meet up before and ended up in Wetherspoons.

I know London can be scary! But I can meet you all at the station and take you back too! So hopefully it wont be too scary! I managed to get my tickets £15 return brum! So I think its a matter of getting them at the right times! I hope you can come! It would be great to actually talk to you! :D xx
 
Yes I am definitely coming! My tickets are being booked on Tuesday and I'm staying over at Cat's house as i'm not getting a train home late at night as I live in Lancashire so a big journey!

Oh so just a nana then! Not an old one at all :)

No don't feel rude! I didn't think you were at all. I think it was all overwhelming seeing all these new faces. I really enjoyed the day though. Think I will be much more relaxed at the next one :)
 
Only 5? I have 7 with number 8 on the way! Londonium is even further away! :( I'll just have to wait for a north west meeting. :tu:

I wouldn't worry i'm like a 90 year old in a 22 year olds body! I don't really project my voice very well in loud places...or when there's loads of people I just sat there probably looking terrified! hahaa.
Just had a look at tickets from Manch, says £35 return, although I think you've just had a look took.
 
As I explained once before, all my old haunts are in Liverpool, I haven't been there for 19 years, I don't know Manchester or Lancashire and I live in the sticks in Cumbria so I don't know anywhere to socialize as I don't drink. ;)
