LHR dinner/drinks Mon 28 November 2016

[JessicaTam]

Due to a strategic connection, we will be at a loose end in London for the night. We land at noon and fly out at 1020 the next day. We are staying at HH T5* so will be looking at heading in and out on the HEX.

Anyone up for dinner/drinks on a school night? This will be my friend's first visit to Old Blighty, so dare I suggest "something iconic". Without being OTT, of course.

*[-]Once I book it, that is![/-] Booked!

Diners:

Count me in as interested.

Iconic yet not over the top. Hmm, have to think about this one!

 

[Flashback]

Should be OK for this.

Strada is a good option, on the Thames and has a great view over the lit up Tower Bridge. It's a good solid Italian restaurant. Friendly on the wallet too!

 

[Mal]

Just bumping this as it's a month away. Anyone else interested?

Strada would be a good choice, although if we could get one of the nice tables here, it likewise has great views. Doggetts Coat & Badge

Colour me interested as I'll be in the region at the time.

The menu at Doggetts Coat and Badge looks great. I reckon it fits the 'iconic' requirement very well. Would you mind booking a table for 6 pax (hoping we get more takers) for whatever time suits?

I'll get onto this tomorrow Let's go for 7pm (unless anyone objects), and I don't know how I missed this update!

Ok booked. Since I was last there, they've added online booking which is cool. I've asked for the captain's table (photo here http://www.australianfrequentflyer....ner-drinks-june-16-a-69169-2.html#post1465785)

Ripper. Thanks.

There might be 6 of us now as it turns out someone Miss S and I were at uni with lives in London and might come along.

Mal is such an AFF social butterfly....how many AFFers as he had drinks / dinner with in London?! I have caught up with him in London twice this year!

I've lost count But do enjoy catching up with people when they're over here!

Same as me. The time Mal makes for AFFers when we're in London is greatly appreciated.

I think it might be three times for me this year, including a couple of very pleasant Concorde Room breakfasts. (He thinks I am doing him a favour but in reality it is great to catch up with someone when you are on the back to back routine out of LHR.)

 

[JessicaTam]

See everyone tonight!

 

[Mal]

See everyone tonight!

Looking forward to catching up again! Table is booked under Mal if youbeat me there. The river entry is the main pub, restaurant is upstairs (Bridge level iirc)

 

[Flashback]

I'm afraid I'm not going to make this tonight due to work commitments - have fun though! It's literally a stone's throw from the office I just moved out of on Friday, too.

After a lovely afternoon enjoying the fabulous weather, Sharon and I have arrived for a pre dinner drink downstairs. So anyone who wants to skip school early is welcome to join us in the bar.
