Central London meets

Monday would good for me as well.

A Monday would be an excellent day for me, preferably meeting around 12 midday as I have problems getting home because of my impaired vision in dusk or dark.

Quite agree about the vaccination proviso Charleygirl. I’m hoping anyone coming would actually have had their 3 jabs anyway. Originally Monday was cited as a preferred day. Does that still hold, or are we a bit more flexible now? It will be lovely to meet up again after such a long gap and hope we can arrange something fairly soon.

My personal proviso is that everybody who comes must have had their two vaccines + the booster. We have been through too much to dine with refusniks.

Would love to meet up again, Charleygirl, I'll keep watching for your posts.

This thread does not stay put for more than 5 minutes. I am sure others would like to join us but like myself they are unaware. I will get in touch with Bellanonna and see what she says.

Yes. A good idea.

I am bumping this because I totally missed it yesterday. Do you not think it should be sooner rather than later because of the Christmas rush etc?

Sounds brilliant!

It’s been a while since I last logged in here but am looking forward to seeing you all again soon. Haven’t been on public transport yet. What about a Christmas lunch in John Lewis?

Monday is fine for me too.

Ours go back 2nd September

Shall we agree on a Monday- we just need a date now. When do the school holidays finish?

Either day good for me

Could do Mondays during the summer holidays, would love a meetup.

I might be able to come along!!!

Just spotted this thread! JL sounds good . Monday better for me.

Niobe that is helpful. When would people like to meet up? I would prefer a Monday or a Friday.

We were in JL in Oxford Street a few days ago and it was very quiet. Only sandwiches and cakes available. Plenty of distance between tables. Worth a try.
M and S at Marble Arch do have a coffee shop but not sure if it’s still open.

I agree, John Lewis may be an option. We could at least try it out once and see what we think. Costa or similar is not an option because they do not want people hogging tables for a couple of hours and buying one cup of coffee each.

Does anybody know if either of the M&S stores has coffee shops there?

John Lewis? Peter Jones?

Hi Charleygirl and all the other regulars from the London meet-ups, now that we have lost Debenhams it might be worth looking to see if there is a suitable meeting venue for us a bit away from Oxford St. I travel in on the Central Line so a few more stops from Bond Street would not matter . Any ideas?

We will definitely meet up again when allowed. The minor problem is going to be where. Has anybody got any bright ideas? Some places charge a fortune- Selfridges being one.

I'm cautiously interested too, though I haven't been on a train for over a year!

Hello, when you eventually meet up please could you let me know? Thanks
