Late Summer Summer Sunday Get Together!

Greenwich Picnic Pubcrawl!
We do this every year and it is always a blast!

We'll be meeting in Greenwich Park from midday for a picnic then heading off at 3pm for a pubcrawl around the historic pubs of Greenwich! It's our third annual Greenwich Picnic pubcrawl; 100's are turning up and all are welcome.

Look out for my inflatable palm tree (only 3ft high) and a big group of assorted picnikers. Bring some picnic food and refreshments - sharing with each other is encouraged and a great way to meet new people! Also try to bring a picnic blanket, bottles water and maybe some park toys. Here is a googlemap showing where we'll be GOOGLEMAP OF GREENWICH PARK

If the weather lets us down then we will instead meet in the The Greenwich Park Bar just outside of the park. Again look for the palm tree!

We will head off on our tour of the local pubs at 3pm. It's an idea to have an umbrella or waterproof jacket to protect you during the short hops from pub to pub.

This will be a joint meetup with a couple of other big Meetup groups so a great way to make new friends in one of the nicest places in London!!

Directions
Take the DLR at Bank or Monument to Cutty Sark DLR Station (Not Greenwich Station). We will be just inside Greenwich Park just left of the main gate, or at the very nearby Greenwich Park Bar just outside the main gate if it rains (Pub crawls on rain or shine!!)

See you there!

Bike Around London!! (and cyclist's picnic!)
Enjoy the longest and possibly warmest day of the year together!

We meet on Monday next for a delightful cyclist tour of London, culminating in a picnic in the park. Join 200 or so of your closest friends for a start of summer bike ride and picnic!

We met at 5:15 pm in St James Square, and push off from there at 6:00 pm sharp. (although it should not be too difficult to find several hundred of us cycling slowing round London! )

There's going to be plenty of daylight, as the sun is not expected to set until well past 9:00 pm

So bring your bike, whatever picnic food you fancy and your good spirits and join us in St James Park for a fabulous evening out!

The scariness starts from 7pm in the spooky, haunted cellar of the Old Thameside Inn, near London Bridge. The place will be filled with pumpkins, cobwebs and dressed up bar staff. Will you dare try all the Seven Deadly Sins cocktails??

Greenwich Lazy Sunday Late Summer Pub Crawl

We're going to take advantage of the warm weather while it lasts and take a lazy pub crawl around Greenwich with 600 or so of our closest friends!

This pub crawl takes us all around the Greenwich area of London. London is in reality lots of historic villages that have been gobbled up into Greater London over the course of time and Greenwich really reflects this by still retaining its local village feel.

The pub crawl will tour through Greenwich market, past the husk of the Cutty Sark, through the gardens of the Maritime Museum and along the way make stops in 10 great historic pubs.

We're going to start out with a picnic in beautiful Greenwich Park in the shadow of the famous historic Greenwich Observatory and Naval Academy (now a music college!). lots of shops available localy to buy sandwiches and other picnicy things. We head on out from about 2:25 for the Pub tour!

I'm going to post the specific details of the pub tour and my mobile 07870430892 (in case you wish to join us after 12:00 Noon) bellow, please print them out and bring them allong!;

Bring your brolly, as it is rain or shine!

The Rules:

We stop in each pub for one drink and when one of the organisers blows the whistle its time to press on. Like any good pub crawl we will loose people along the way and gain others!

Please print this email out and take it with you. With over 600 people coming along (as was the case last year) to the pub crawl it should be no problem tracking us down, if you should decide to come late or wander off.

Look out for the inflatable palm tree!

See you there!


The Skinny

Greenwich Park
Main Gate
King William Walk &
Nevada Street

We're putting the lazy back into the Lazy Sunday Pub Crawl with a very chilled picnic in Greenwich Park. There is planty of places nearby to get some nibbles and drinks and the weather is supposed to be spectacular! We'll be there for a few hours and this part of the crawl is kid friendly.

Find us in the park;
Enter the main big red gate on Nevada Street up King William Walk very near Greenwich Park Bar & Grill. This becomes "The Avenue" once you enter the park. Pass a very small coffe/tea shoppe to your right and walk a short ways and we will all be to your right. there should be a very large group of us there (maybe in viking helmets ???). Look out for the inflatable palm tree!


The Plume of Feathers
19 Park Vista
Greenwich, London, SE10 9LZ

We take a brief walk through Greenwich park itself. Past well kept and manicured lawns and gardens, past the Greenwich Observatory.

The Plume of Feathers is a great family owned public house with a terrific back garden and real pulled beer on tap. Proper Sunday lunches served if you are ready for dinner.

The Yaught/ Trafalgar Tavern Club
Park Row
Greenwich, SE10

Also it is a great place to have a pint (or whatever is your tipple) and watch the world go by across the River Thames. There is a massive life size statue of Admiral Nelson (He was only 5' 4!). Rub Admiral Nelsons belly for good luck!

The Cutty Sark Tavern
4-7 Ballast Quay
Greenwich, London, SE10 9PD

A great historic pub.

Bonus Pub:

The Gypsy Moth
60 Greenwich Church Street
Greenwich, London, SE10 9BL

Right in the shadow of the husk of what remains of the treasured Cutty Sark. We take a nice walk allong the Thames and stop in for a night cap allong the way to the Cutty Sark DLR!

We're all taking a road trip to Edinburgh! Well, here is the skinny....

I've rented a comphie 16 seater mini van, and I'm offering a return/ round or one way trip to Edinburgh and back to London. There is plenty of room for everyone.

I'm leaving for Edinburgh from London at 12:00 noon on Friday (flexible time wise) from Hammersmith. We return on next Sunday night or Monday.

It should take about 8 hours each way and there will be plenty of stops for the loo, etc as and when we need them (We'll run it democratically; we are not greyhound! ; ) ) This will be a fun trip, having a good time all the way so hopefully we can all be good friends by the time we get to Edinburgh! The cost of the trip is 40.00 return or single. RSVP as seats are filling quickly.

I'll see you on Friday!
