Drinks in London, Thursday (today)

[akicif]

Pasted from my weblog

I'll be back in London tomorrow, and somewhat thirsty with it, so seriously up for beers... Plans are (ahem) fluid at the moment, but it looks as if I'll be at the Jubilee, Waterloo from about 5 (beer, food, cqtching folk who're off to the theatre), moving on across the river for some more serious drinking (suggestions include the glasshouse stores on Brewer street -- the Sam Smith's pub half way qlong, not the new looking place with a similar name at the very end or the Princess Louise, Holborn -- if it's not got some kind of meeting on), and finishing at the Cro Bar (I can't see getting my rucksack through the door of the Troy Club, somehow)

Comments, suggestions... (If you're not an LJ member, you can use the anonymous comment, but please leave a name or an email address)

Update:

Okay, here's the updated plan. I arrive in Waterloo at 14.43, which is ludicrously early to go to the pub (unless, of course, you know better... ;-).

As the reasons for chosing a pub near Waterloo were that I wasn't likely to arrive until the early evening and some folk were going on to events later on (some on the South Bank, making the Waterloo area a natural target), I wonder now if this makes sense, especially as Simon and Sandra really need to be on or near the Central Line to get to the event they're going to... So, may I suggest the Glasshouse Stores, Brewer Street instead? The pub's a Sam Smith's one, with decent beer and rather good food, and it makes a natural starting point for moving on towards the rest of Soho, Tottenham Court Rd/Charing X Rd or Holborn... We're likely to be here for a good few hours (must remember to nip out to check mobile every now and again). Which reminds me, my mobile number is: +44 7940 584 653 and it should be on and charged (those keyring chargers are a godsend -- no-one in Europe seems to have the air batteries) from about 2.30pm.

I'm just off to check in, so will sign off now, pausing only to stick a copy of this on the weblog and do a final email check. I should be able to check email later today, but will otherwise be in the Glasshouse Stores from about half five or so.

Simon and I should be there. We'll arrive separately -- I may be able to make it as early as 5.45 or so.

Anyone know what the Jubilee's food is like nowadays?

*this* week? rats, I thought it was last week ;-( I can't miss our game in Sydenham, my character is likely to get killed it I do. If you're not heading straight off up North, stay the night and catch up with us? We're usually back by 11.

I may take you up on this -- I've a room in a hostel that night, but it's south of the river, and if I was doing the Cro Bar thing, it'd be a bit tricky... I have to dash off fairly smartly in the morning, but it would be nice to catch up with you both...

Hoping your character survives...

Julie and I....

Julie and I may be able to make it but we wont be in town working so it will involve a special trip in to town....

I'd love to see you, so will try to catch up with you later tomorrow night. Goodness knows when but I will be there if it is physically possible to do so. I'll email you with my mobile number and perhaps you could text me and tell me where you've ended up from 7.30pm onwards...

That'd be really wonderful... I hope to check email tomorrow morning, and possibly on arrival in London. Oh, and the demon mail is getting downloaded in Edinburgh, so I'm unlikely to see it -- steve dot glover at ukonline dot co dot uk should do the trick, though.

I'm suddenly tempted to add Milroy's to the list of possible venues...
