London late April/early May?

licencetocook · Apr 11th, 2008, 06:09 AM

Greetings from Tokyo!

As part of my semi-annual trip to London, I would love to meet some of you. I was planning to do so last year as part of the Christies' auction viewing, but I missed out on the first meet due to an emergency operation.

So here I am once again calling tpf Londoners. Since I am so not qualified to be the main attraction (I lack a sense of humour that rivals eliselady or neishy and I certainly don't have the looks of Angel.

), I am thinking of luring all of you with the offer of a draw for two copies of 2008 H Japanese catalogue!

At the moment, Wed 30 April and Fri 2 May are the frontrunners. Any further thoughts?

I've pmed you, ltcook, my finger is hovering over the button to book a train ticket!

Yes, I am back from my Friday night dinner with dh and ms kelly. Thanks so much for the various PMs. I am really touched that a number of you are willing to travel to London for our little gathering

.

Friday 2nd May seems to be best for everyone. Any ideas as to when and where?

After seeing many of your posts and this particular photo, I really can't wait to meet you all.

DH has a meeting in London (right near the H store in the Royal Exchange!!) on Friday 2nd May, so I could travel down on the train with him and meet up with you all.!!!!

eliselady · Apr 12th, 2008, 06:16 PM

That picture will haunt me for many years! Ack, bad hair day.

Worst of all - I was sober!

2 May is good for me, I'll introduce you to Winston!

mooks · Apr 12th, 2008, 06:25 PM

Well, If I travel with DH my train will get into London at 10am. What time is everyone meeting up???

mooks · Apr 13th, 2008, 06:07 PM

Raz where does your train come into? I'm in West London so mine goes into Waterloo

licencetocook · Apr 13th, 2008, 09:31 PM

Since I am the one on vacation, I am available at any time. Would you like to meet for an early lunch? I have suggested 3pm in an earlier PM, but I could also meet you earlier.

mooks · Apr 14th, 2008, 05:17 AM

TBH I'd rather meet earlier for lunch....I'd be flaking by 3pm

Raz · Apr 14th, 2008, 08:21 AM

My train gets into Liverpool Street. DH has a meeting right near the Royal Exchange.
So he was either going to put me into a taxi, so I could do a bit of shopping in the West End, or I was going to spend an hour or two looking around the Royal Exchange area.
Let me know, I would rather it was earlier than 3pm, as like Mooks, I might be flagging a bit by then.
