Meet ups/where are you?

ladies that like to lunch in London

I live in Bromley area but an easy 20 minute (free) commute into London. My husband and 1 took early retirement to share childcare of my 7 grand children and in spare time like to use our free Oyster card to explore London. However it quickly became apparent that our expectations wildly differ. His ideal day would be a couple of pints and a Pret whilst I like lively, trendy places for a cocktail and sit down lunch/dinner. So I’m looking for like-minded ladies who might fancy meeting up in Town once in a while.

Any news on a meet up yet?

I am a regular at the brass rail in Selfridges. Hope to join you ladies in
London as I live local. John Lewis is fine for me. Glad you enjoyed Harvey Nicks.

Enjoy that cake Grannyknot!

Grannyknot Wed 19-Sept-18 07:29:48

The time did fly by Niobe smile

I've just remembered that I still have half a piece of Harvey Nicks raspberry and lemon cake wrapped in a serviette (well, it was frozen) in my handbag - elevenses today!

I'm up for that Nann58, either in Beckenham or Bromley - probably Bromley as there's more choice there. Iluvcruz put a message about living in Bromley but meeting in London as it is easy to get to some time ago. I did mention meeting in Bromley then, but haven't heard anything else.

Nanna58 Tue 18-Sept-18 22:23:29

Live in Beckenham and would love to join a bunch of Bromley gals !

Niobe Tue 18-Sept-18 17:22:27

It was so nice to meet you all , Pittcity, notgoneyet, Grannyknot and Flossieturner, today. Didn't the time fly by? I don't mind where we meet next in central London, John Lewis or Selfridges would both suit me.

notgoneyet Tue 18-Sept-18 15:33:28

Lovely to meet you all in Harvey Nicks ladies, and do hope we'll all be able to meet up again, possibly as suggested, in Selfridges, maybe towards the end of October.

Pittcity Tue 18-Sept-18 14:40:40

We did discuss Selfridges.

Grannyknot Tue 18-Sept-18 13:38:30

Lovely to meet everyone. I'm certainly up for a next time ? - happy to go wherever.

loopyloo Tue 18-Sept-18 13:33:00

Or is it back to a Weatherspoons?

loopyloo Tue 18-Sept-18 13:31:44

So where are you meeting next time? Harrods?

Pittcity Tue 18-Sept-18 13:25:34

A lovely brunch at Harvey/Holly Nichols with great chatty company. Nice to meet Grannyknot and Notgoneyet
We agreed that the cafe was on a par with most department stores but at twice the price......

Pittcity Tue 18-Sept-18 09:17:53

Thank you Loopyloo.

notgoneyet Tue 18-Sept-18 08:54:42

You too Pittcity. Will be funny, meeting all these ladies and not a known name amongst them, all nicknames lol

loopyloo Tue 18-Sept-18 08:35:55

Have a great time!

Pittcity Tue 18-Sept-18 08:14:18

Just getting ready for the trip into London. Looking forward to seeing you all.

Pittcity Mon 17-Sept-18 10:06:36

Just bumping this thread up in case any one else would like to join us in London tomorrow.

notgoneyet Sun 16-Sept-18 14:34:06

Not been a member of GN very long, and am really looking forward to meeting a few others at HN (or PN!!) on Tuesday.

Charleygirl Sat 15-Sept-18 10:57:57

I was hoping to join you but my apologies- maybe the next time.

Pittcity Sat 15-Sept-18 08:31:59

Looks like there will be 5 of us meeting at Holly Nichols (they've rebranded for September.....don't get confused) on Tuesday.
All are welcome to join us.

Niobe Fri 14-Sept-18 09:38:49

As Pittcity said I will be there on Tuesday. Have not been to HN in London yet but had some lovely lunches in the Edinburgh HN when I lived in Glasgow.

Flossieturner Thu 13-Sept-18 22:26:50

I am looking forward to meeting you all. It is many, many years since went there. I was outraged that they were charging £7 for a t-shirt, so that shows how long ago it was.

Catterygirl Thu 13-Sept-18 16:55:50

I won't be able to make it after all, but look forward to another meet up.

Pittcity Thu 13-Sept-18 15:27:38

Flossieturner, Niobe and I are meeting on the 5th floor of Harvey Nichols, outside the cafe, on Tuesday 18th September at 11am.
Please join us.
