London 01 May

[Hvr]

Ok I'll arrive in London on 30 April and will be free on Sunday 01 May to catch up with any locals and/or visitors to London.

Noting that it is a work day for most people on Monday I suggest an afternoon or early evening get together.

Will determine a location once we get an idea of numbers and where most people are located.

After this I'll be travelling around the south of England for a couple of weeks.

I'm transiting through Lhr on Mon May 2, arr from Bud at 1500 and leaving Lhr that evening for Syd at 2125...I'm hoping to catch up with Mal for a drink / early dinner not to far from Lhr...maybe we can all catch up?

Look forward to it.

Look forward to it.

Actually you are referring to Sun May 1 and I'm referring to Mon May 2 a day later....

I know and can do both.

I should be able to do Monday afternoon/ night, but there's a slight complication. A role I'm going for may require me to be at work 1.30pm through 10pm, so that would scrub Monday night for me. But it's not a given, and with the way the uk employment system works, I suspect I wouldn't be started by then anyway.

Sunday will definately be free.

I'll keep in touch with you both.

Monday the 2nd is a bank holiday in the UK, I'm arriving LHR on VN on the Monday.

Monday the 2nd is a bank holiday in the UK, I'm arriving LHR on VN on the Monday.

Indeed it is, however doesn't change my potential unavailability. No idea at the moment if this particular role (if I get it) will require bank holiday coverage or not!

 

[Hvr]

I'll monitor this thread and we'll see how we go.

Will be staying in Paddington and departing for Dover on Tuesday 3rd.

 

[Flashback]

Fine for both.

 

[Hvr]

So any updates? Am leaving BKK tomorrow morning for London.

*note this relates to Monday the 2nd, not Sunday the 1st *

Due to a short layover for kpc, I've been thinking about :

L'oro di Napoli | Traditional Neapolitan Pizzeria Ealing

6 The Quadrant, Little Ealing lane. South Ealing, w5 4ee London, United Kingdom

https://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/7290752

A couple of minutes walk from South Ealing Piccadilly tube station.

Roughly 35 mins from Paddington or Heathrow. From central London likely an hour.

I would suggest around 4pm for an early dinner, but open to thoughts. (and I did phone and checked they are open on Monday)

 

[Flashback]

About 1.5-2 hours travel for me to get there, but doable. What time are we planning to meet?

I was thinking 4pm / maybe 4.30pm, haven't made a booking yet, waiting for confirmation from most /all who would be attending, and then I'll make it.

Reservation made for 5 pax @ 4pm. They indicated they would only hold the table for 10 mins if we are no shows, so they seem to be pretty busy.

I'll easily get there for that time, hopefully kpc your flight is slightly early and the Fast Track Gods are on your side.
