Post Christmas outing in London

[Ian Stedman]

Hi,

Trying to gauge interest and agree some potential dates. Who would be interested in a post Christmas outing, to the City of London or other central London location in December?

I've checked the trains, looks like just Victoria station closed, other lines running normally. Potential dates:
Thursday 28th December, Friday 29th December, Saturday 30th December. You should be able to vote in the poll below.

Any suggestions of where to visit are welcome. I keep trying for tickets to Horizon 22, but have had no luck so far.

Which dates

You can select up to 3 options.

Thursday 28th December

Friday 29th December

Saturday 30th December

This poll is closed.   

This poll ended on .

Hi,

A few more details.
Let's meet at Blackfriars station at 10:30am, Orpington trains to Victoria will be diverted here.

Was thinking of going around the Fleet Street quarter, the Walking with Snowmen street art inspires.

We'll find somewhere for a spot of lunch, there's a Wetherspoons in Chancery lane ;)

Any suggestions of sights in the area welcome.

What date is this please?

Walking with the Snowmen looks like good fun.  Hopefully they will lead us to the Weatherspoons pub.

Peter,

Friday 29th December.

Chris,

I'm thinking we finish at the Sir John Old castle Wetherspoons in Farringdon, a short walk from Farringdon station, easier to get home from.

Many thanks to Ian for organising our wander around the streets of London yesterday (mainly Fleet Street).   Here's a few images from the trip...

Anyone for a massage?

Sorry I missed you guys yesterday, as nobody to pose for me I went for the graphical photo below plus several embankment photos but very busy and crowded

See you soon

Hi,

It was a fun outing, discovered a few places in London I did not know where there (Rolls building and Doctor Johnson's house stand out) and walked 12Km.

A few photos:

The complete set of 12 snowmen.
