Pints!

Hotels in and around Heathrow seem quite booked up for next wed night (obviously they heard I was coming ;p). In fact the only hotel that some sites are offering is St. Giles...

However, there is always the option of staying near Paddington (zippy heathrow express) or pretty much anywhere on the Picadilly line, so all is still well. I'm not hugely bothered either way, so where suits people - is somewhere more central handier? I'll probably go Somewhere to potter about in the afternoon til you all get out of work anyway ;)

And who is coming? So far I think we have Reuss (& mr reuss?), Dasquian, Malvino, Nou, Kelemvor and Adelpha. And maybe Caramel_betty? (sorry, can't be arsed doing the lj user thing for everyone ;p)

Answers on a postcard comment please, I'll need to book somewhere pretty soon!

ETA What do people think of meeting up in the pub in Paddington Station suggested by [livejournal.com profile] nou? Looks pretty good, does a range of foods and beers. And strongbow ;p

It'd certainly be handy for getting trains home in various directions ;)

www.vancouverstudios.co.uk is v nice and also near Paddington. Bit expensive - but then where in London isn't?

Wish I could be there!

Anywhere not too far from Zone 1 works fine for me :)

Anywhere in zone 1 is good for me too, or failing that north London - trains I get will go into Kings Cross, but everywhere is reasonably accessible from there. Also, no idea whether Greg is coming or not: it's too far in the future for my brain yet.

You're still welcome to stay over here if you need to. We had people over at the weekend, so the spare room's not looking its usual 'dumping ground for Stuff'. The Dumping of Bagges could be done at the left luggage place at Waterloo so you can happily frolic in London until Alcohol happens, then pick them up on the way through.

Hrm, might need to check their opening times...

What time's your flight out?
