Meeting pre-show sunday May 30th in London

[ingridswing]

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!

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.

I will do my best to be there at some point, but unlikely to be before 6pm.

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.

That's what nanny's are for

I'll be in London around midday, so i'm happy to meet before, or at the pub.
Pottel has to pick my tix up for me.
Ingrid, i forgot, you did book me 2 nights in the Farringdon Travelodge didn't you?

Looking forward to seeing everyone again

Cheers   BBB

Yes I did

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.
