Ok the day is upon us and I have tried to give as much information as possible, all people listed as coming are on the guest list, for Friday and I have added New Info on dirtections, maps, times and places. If any of you think you might get lost - org note me for my number (for those of you who don't have it already)

Disclaimer - I am simply a facilitator of this event, not an organiser, if things go tits-up I am in no way accountable for anything whatsoever. I am an upstanding citizen of London Town and i will not be dragged down to the level of the gutter but a bunch of internet reprobates.



Hope you all make it ok, travel safe, and see you at Eros!

Sorry for the delays in finalising this, but London is an expensive town and nice places for cheep are hard to come by. It should all work out well and I for one am getting very excited now!!!!



Friday Night – Arrivals, Rendezvous, Drinks and Dance



For those that are already in town we will meet at the classic rendezvous spot the Statue of Eros in Piccadilly Circus at 6:30pm

Nearest Tube Station - Piccadilly Circus on the Piccadilly Line (Dark Blue). Come out of any exit and the statue is right there.



Just a short walk down the Haymarket to TigerTiger an over 21’s Bar and Club where we have a seating area reserved and our names (when you provide them to me by Org note) on a guest list. There is a dress code of smart side of smart casual, no trainers/sneekers, scruffy/ripped jeans or sportswear and bouncers are arseholes so don’t assume they will make exceptions. Also I am now informed shirt collars must be worn by men http://www.prince.org/msg/2/178471

The atmos is said to be mixed, mostly contemporary music but split over several areas and dance floors so we CAN keep Kylie “out of our head” if music takes a turn for the overtly commercial. The reserved area is situated in Lounge so chatting, gossiping and flirting should all be possible. Food platters can be ordered so don’t worry about eating before you arrive unless you have a big appetite. Happy hour ends at 7, so the advancing party should be able to get a few bottles in before prices go up although they don’t seem to bad at non happy hour prices – Relative to London of course!

For those that arrive a little later come straight to the club where can be quickly let in via the guest list (queues start to from round about 9pm) the party is booked under Butler. After 10 pm the club charges entry of £3 but you don’t have to queue.

We will probably get booted out around 3am onto the streets of London to avoid the pools of vomit and piss; if any of us make it that far and aren’t restricted by transport (tube stops around 12:30).

Saturday Daytime – Walking tour of London


The only way to do it! Arm yourselves with a Zone 1-2 travel card and make your way to Covent Garden where we can meet starting at around 10. Try to find each other round the old vegetable market see picture:



Come out of Covent garden tube station (Covent Garden, Picadilly Line (Dark Blue) and turn right down James street towards the market and hopefully find everyone hanging around by the arches watching street performers.

From here we can walk to Leicester Square..

..and picadilly circus....

....then down to Trafalgar Square.

Pick up the trail through Admiralty Arch and down The Mall to Buckingham Palace and Victoria Monument.

Leaving Buck House behind we can walk through St James Park….

…to Parliament Square, Houses of Parliament, Wesminster Abbey and……

……. Big Ben (Westminster Clock Tower)

A short walk down to see Tony Blair, give him a awave and plod along the Thames from here to Embankment where we can either get a river taxi (a few Quid) or the tube (free with your travel cards) to Tower Gateway.

If we go by river then we can catch views of the London Eye, St Pauls Cathedral, The Globe and Tower bridge (amongst many other sights)….



Before arriving at the The Tower of London

We can grab some lunch and a pint at this point and then enter the Tower. A great venue near by is The Dickens Inn in St Katherine’s Dock, If we get there about 1- 1:30 it could make a good rendezvous point for those arriving later.

After a few hours mooching around inside the tower at the jewels and weaponry for those who wish (and if we have time) we can hop on the tube to Kensington House for a spot of afternoon tea, that most famous British Pastime at the Orangey, Kensington Palace

After which we can all head back to our hostels for a wash and spruce up before hitting the town again.

Saturday Evening – Food and Dancing


I have reserved an area at All Bar One (Charterhouse Street, just past the junction with St Johns Street) with sofas and tables for a 7pm meet up to grab a bite to eat and a drink before heading just down the road to the Charterhouse Bar for dancing at a night “So Funky” it will be hard to stay sitting down. At least that is what I am assured by the man in charge at the Charterhouse Bar. Free entry and dancing till 3. Charterhouse Bar is located at the junction of Charterhouse Street and Carthusian Street.

Sunday is still Open – TBC - But maybe a lunchtime rendezvous for those still around on the south bank, Tate modern, London eye, globe theatre. Perhaps a trip to Greenwich or Camden for the markets and a night at the Globe or Notting Hill have been suggested.
