London GTG early May?
Hi,
After a couple of weeks in Scotland, my cousin and I are coming down to London 3 May for a week - staying in St Katharine's Marina til flying out on the 10th. We have 3 or 4 'set' things (The Audience - 2nd row stalls
!!! ) but have lots of free-able time.
Early Sunday evening would be great (5 May) because we have Keys Ceremony tix for that night. But really we could probably work out something several afternoon/evenings
ideas???

What time do you have to be at the Tower? This might be the occasion for a riverside pub walk, though I wouldn't be surprised if you know all these already: Captain Kidd or Town of Ramsgate, Prospect of Whitby, Grapes (Limehouse), or in the reverse direction. Not sure about allowing time for food, though, especially on a Sunday.

Would love to but that is the first may long weekend and we are heading to the Netherlands to hopefully catch some tulip fields! We are back on Tuesday morning...any chance we could catch up Tues - Thurs night?

Patrick- that would be great. I've been to all those except the Captain Kidd. Town of Ramsgate during the infamous '6 ladies trip', and the PoW several times but YEARS ago. Would be great to meet up at one or more of those. We don't have to be at the Tower til 9:30 (sharp)
jamikins- I knew that was the long weekend so figured it would probably be iffy. Tues. is out completely (tea @ the Ritz and the Audience . . . our posh day) But Wed or Thurs are possible.

janis...
I would love to meet you after so many years following your posts and threads.
With a little bit of prior notice I can take time off work, and as I usually have Thursdays off anyway, the Wednesday evening would work really well for me - and it would be great to meet up again with Jamie and Scott, and Patrick too.
Maybe flanner will see this and decide to join us! Hopefully RM67 (Rose), ssachida, BKP and others will see this and be able to come along as well.
Despite being a holiday weekend, the Sunday wouldn't be best for me due to family commitments.Hopefully we can all work something out for the Wednesday evening, otherwise I can be around that afternoon or on Thursday.
Looking forward to meeting you and your cousin!

I'm not 100% sure I can do it.
But I'm sure I'd prefer it not to be that Sunday evening. Surely you all realise it's Rogation Sunday, when rural fogeys walk the boundaries of their parish, beating them and any small boys who happen to be in the way?
Thursday is marginally preferable to Wed, but all the weekdays look sort of OK at present.

Either Wed of Thurs can work. We want to have a semi-posh-ish 'last London dinner' one of those nights but haven't booked anything so both evenings are a clean slate right now.
flanner - the question is - can flannerpooch join us?

"can flannerpooch join us?"
Sadly, he is no more. Which explains why we've not had his unique insights into travelling lately - though I'm currently editing what turned out to be his last trip report and might be able to publish it before early May (his pawwriting can be challenging).
We've provisionally identified his successor, though she won't be joining us before June. Mrs F's otherwise engaged both nights, so it'll just be me.

julia_t: ooh - somehow I didn't see your post (the site was slow/fusty for me all day yesterday and I may have just scrolled down and missed it)
Wednesday is looking promising. Patrick - the Sunday pub walk (crawl/stagger) is still doable for sure - but how does Wed. work for you?
