Daughter living there. So visiting most evenings and some days. Have major museum plans (as usual!), will see at least a couple of plays, will have some daytime availability. Still building the plans and if it worked for a meeting, would include same. Staying centrally.

If you're at Kings, how about an India Club meet one evening? It has an amazing restaurant on the Strand near Kings College.
We have done London Ship meets to museums, exhibitions and theatre trips as well as boat trips on the Thames and churches ... it's not all restaurants and pub meets.

Gah. Mrs Eutychus and I will be in London starting on May 4 ![[Waterworks]](graemlins/bawling.gif)
We are there interpreting for a conference on May 5-6 and not sure about availability for a meet yet, but I'll keep an eye on this thread.

I was thinking just the other day that it's about time we had an India Club meet. Sounds good!

Sorry I can't join you as the India Club is certainly a worthwhile choice.

The time period April 27 to May 02 is probably the most available according to our plans thus far.

no prophet, do you want to set a date?
Doc Tor - do you want an India Club meet on 9 May? We can very easily be persuaded to go there and it's reasonably convenient for Charing Cross Road too.
Eutychus - you'll have to give us dates.

Let me know if the conference allows enough time to collect that much promised beer. I'll need a bit of notice to organise a sitter for the Tubblet so Rev T can come. ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

Just a suggestion - we have three separate visits to London already on this thread - would it make life easier if you ran three separate threads?
It would certainly make life a bit easier for the Hosts but I'm not suggesting that should be a primary consideration.

It looks like 28 or 29 April might do. Does a time on either of these days look good to anyone? April 30 going to a play in the afternoon. May 1 also possible.

Evening on Monday 28 is possible for me - not sure about anyone else.
(That week is looking busy already and I'm not sure when I next get paid to have any money to come out and play)

I think I can't make 28th. But if things change I will most certainly be there. If that makes sense.

Monday 28 is the only date those of us who've signed up can manage. (We checked at the Petemeet), However, the slight little wrinkle is that the RMT have declared a Tube strike starting that night ... which makes all plans a bit indefinite.
I can still do this, but I'd prefer as early a meet as possible to get home or be nearly home before the strike starts at 9pm if it still goes ahead - and I live a lo-o-o-ong way out and there's no overground or bus alternative to get out as far as I need to go.

I can't do 28th. For work not tube strike reasons.
But would love to meet if another day/time can be found?

I have 'net access only briefly tonight. Tube strike not good. I can be available almost anytime 28th. 29th also just need warning. If someone like Curiousity who has time and also time restrictions re Tube strike wants to select before I regain internet access, which shld be Friday, please go ahead and do so. I am not completely sure re the net on Friday because we will be in family apts at King's then.

28th might be possible and early rather than later would suit me. I'm at a conference in the City till 4.30, but not sure how sociable I'll feel afterwards!

Is there interest in 5:30 or 6? Earlier? Little bit later?

6pm sounds good.
I'm going to be in Islington until 5-5:30pm, so 6 to 6:30pm is about as early as I'll get down to the Strand. If the strike is happening I'll have to leave by 7:30-8pm to get home.

Me.
I'm happy to make a booking for 5 at the India Club for 6pm on Monday - is that OK by everyone?

I found an English SIM card well worth the value the 5 days I was in England - and an Indian one in India, although some bureaucratic hoops.

We found that the only sensible way to have mobile phones in the UK was to buy a couple of cheap, no-frills ones and get "pay-as-you-go" cards for them; even our mobile provider here in Canada said it wasn't worth our while to get them to work over there.
