Hey,
I am in London for a visit in July..

I have already passed it by Spuds (Dan)....so, what about a possible Pub Lunch GTG...????

I was thinking around Sat 3rd July...2pm - 4pm.....Totally provisional....also thought of venue as:

Churchill Arms,
119 Kensington Church Street
London W8 7LN, United Kingdom
020 7727 4242

nearest tube is Hight St Kensington....good traditional ale house

What do you say???? Any interest from the London/near London TRFers????

spuds · 8 May 2010, 12:24 AM

I'll post this on the UK sub-forum too!!

Good call mate.... Good call!!

Can't wait for a return visit to London.

Had many great times at The Albert on Victoria St.

Have a great time, mates.

I wasn't a big fan of The Churchill Pub, though. Had many great times at The Albert on Victoria St.

Have a great time, mates.

My bad, Dalip.

It was The Shakespeare Pub just off Trafalgar Square that was less than impressive.

Next time I'll try The Churchill.

spuds · 8 May 2010, 01:14 AM

Personally I'd heartily recommend The Dickens Inn
http://www.dickensinn.co.uk/index.php

The Dickens Inn
Marble Quay
St Katharines Way
London
E1W 1UH

(& guess who's firm just happened to lay all the paving outside?!?

)

BUT if Dalip can make it all the way from Oz' I'm happy to meet wherever suits him!!
(& I'm sure the other UK guys will be too!!)

dalip · 8 May 2010, 01:18 AM

Hey Dan....looks like a great spot...love pubs down that way also....

But main reason I'm choosing Churchill is so Alison can come say hello and then go off shopping with the little one leaving us to get on with watch talk and plenty of beer!!! (shopping is good round there!) Then come back and pick me up!!!

Works for me dalip mate!!

I'll be there!!

(Churchills that is...... Sorry for confusion btw, I drafted/posted the Dickens suggestion while you & Dan were posting & didn't realise you'd been to Churchills before....!

Thats cool mate...

Yep....used to live in London...been out here for around 8 years....Churchill is close to the parks also so great for Alison and the nipper....didn't frequent it much..tended to go locally in hammersmith and fulham...but when I did it was a good spot and central enough without being too touristy...

By the way...great job on the paving mate

Looks like a massive project.....

Hope you're headed for a good summer....

diversified · 8 May 2010, 02:10 AM

Guys, This looks like it's going to be a great time. Philly used to have a Dickens Inn, which was also associated with Cedric Dickens too, back in the 1980s. You could get some great meat pies there!
Wish I could be there, looks great!

The GMT Master · 8 May 2010, 03:01 AM

I have to say, I'm very tempted to come down and see you guys - I'll need to check if I'm free, but if so, I think a London day out is in order
