Title: Meeting pre-show sunday May 30th in London
Post by: ingridswing on May 18, 2010, 10:08:24 AM
Hi all,

Where do we meet before the RAH-show on sunday? A place where we can have a nice drink and something to eat as well.

Hear from you!

Ingrid

There is a pub we used already in 2008 to meet before the show. It's 'The Stanhope Arms' just opposite of Gloucester Road tube station and about a 10 min walk to RAH. Good beer, good food, lots of people...haven't been there for a while.
Address: 97 Gloucester Road, London SW7 4SS, United Kingdom

Thanks for that name again, forgot the name of the pub.

So meeting in that pub is the best option:
who will be there and what time?
Around 15.30? Having a drink, relaxed meal and be in time to collect our tickets at the RAH.
I have got the mail for Newcastle, ticketcollection between 17.30 and 19.00 so I think it will be the same in London.

Unfortunately, that will be a Formula One weekend in Istanbul. Daddy won't be at home. Need to ask family or nanny to look after the kids. Bad timing. >:(

I will arrive in London  around 16:30 pre-show hopefully (by bus from Stansted). I will arrive at Victoria Station by bus and planned to use the tube and get off at High Street Kensington Underground Station, which should be a 10 minute walk to the RAH?  I will try and find that pub!
I will have a hell of a travel by the way! No accommodation this time! I will return to Germany on Monday morning at 6:45 am already, which means I will take the bus back to Stansted somewhat around 1:00 or 2:00 am Monday early - right after the show. If someone wants to spend some time right after the concert and have a little meal or something I would be very grateful! I am prepared for hanging around at the airport at night and check in as soon as possible and want to touch down in Bremen at 9:30. Time schedule at work make it impossible for me to stay any longer in London.  I decided to expand the trip to Hamburg instead this time...

BTW:
Are there any cloakrooms or lockers at the RAH? I will have a (very) little hand luggage with me...

I like to have a drink with you after the show and I am always late, so no problem. I am with Nelly and BBB, but we can go our own way if someone wants to sleep earlier.

Does anyone know places where to have a drink after the show (something that doesn't close at 23.00 or 24.00)??? Last time we found nothing open but a tiny pizzathing. Not really a nice place.

Just a few mins round the corner from the RAH, I think the road's name is Queen's Gate, is a place called the Gore Hotel. V nice but pricy boutique hotel. Has a really great bar. We went there after a KTGC show at the RAH.

Oh hi there knopflerized, or shall I say Ms. Nospoiler  :lol Well the opening song is... Hehe, just kidding!  ;D
Admire you for your persistency regarding spoilers. I was too weak...

I have no idea when I'll be there on Sunday; my plane lands on half past 12 and I need to check in to the hotel first. I guess it's easier if I meet y'all in front of the RAH, together with LE who will pick up his and my ticket - at 6 pm I think.
As for an after-show drink, I'm game. I'll stay at the same hotel as BBB, ingridswing and knopflerized so we can arrange things in a way that no one has to return to the hotel alone - I'd be scared  :)

Hi Knopflerized and Goldenheart, we keep in touch anyway! Preshow-meeting is nice as well. And Goldenheart I am sure you can make it too. Only one hour or so to the hotel, I presume you travel with handlugage only so 12.30 arrival, in bus or train or underground at 13.00, at the hotel around 14.00-14.30. Only if you want to do a nap you can't make it  ;) But decide yourself and yes, better to travel together to the hotel (at least 2 people) unless you take a cab, then there's no problem to go alone.

Till what time do the underground go?

I've the feeling you're really lost in London!  :lol

The tube runs regularly from around 05.00 to 00.30 (Sun 07.30 to 23.30) on most routes. Better check this out here: www.tfl.gov.uk/
Afterwards use night buses, big N before the number. Night Buses operate on many major routes from around midnight to 05.00, and some routes operate a 24-hour service. Cash fares are not available for bus passengers in Zone 1, therefore passengers must obtain a valid ticket before boarding.

Haha, or just lazy, better use our wiki-marky49  :P

It has been a long time ago I went to London, 2 years, for me it's a lifetime.
But I did remember undergrounds didn't go after coming out of the pub, so we had to take a cab. Simply because I don't know about buslines  :D Also lazyness  ;)

Hi,

Long waiting, so hard to stay ahead of you with my "auto locked-out", but I don't want to be spoiled ;D

If time allow it, I will arrive at 4.30 pm at the station, I will gladly enjoy the meeting with you.

See ya there next sunday!
