London Social Detours - make friends exploring the capital!

WOW! I have finally got a third group ticket just for us, to visit the newest tall building in London - Horizon 22!!! The view is amazing!!!

They say: Horizon 22 is London's highest free viewing platform. Located on Level 58, our viewing platform offers 300-degree views of London, showcasing its most iconic landmarks.

Don't forget your cameras 📷 From the gallery you can experience 'jaw-dropping views of the city' and it doesn't cost anything at all. Although it is not the tallest building in the capital the viewpoint sits ten metres taller than the lookout space at The Shard.

After our viewing we will re-group and have a little walkabout the city and look at some of the Sculpture in the City artworks... Then we'll head to the pub for a social, which is likely to be The Crosse Keys, as it's nearby.

I will meet you by the Bishopsgate exit of Liverpool Street Train Station.
The Meetup fee for this event is £3.00 – which is payable on the day.
If you do not see us please call/text me on: 0739 623 3874 – text is best! - psssst! Don't forget to say your name in the message.
However, before sending any message please check the site in case I have added an update. We will only wait for 10 minutes and I cannot take calls thereafter.

Hope to see lots of you there :)

NB. As usual there will be others coming along from my other Meetup family ;)

It's Bank Holiday! So, let's go down to Greenwich! And see the latest exhibition at the wonderful Maritime Museum...

Women of the RNLI
They say: Life savers, fundraisers, trailblazers: discover the vital roles that women play in saving lives at sea. Featuring striking photography, personal testimony and breath-taking film, the exhibition offers a window into the lives of volunteers across the UK and Ireland.
Let's visit the National Maritime Museum and be inspired by the women of the RNLI.
Inside the exhibition
Since its foundation in 1824, the RNLI has had one mission: to save every life at sea. The organisation is entirely self-funded and relies on the tireless work of volunteers across the UK and Ireland.
2024 marks 200 years of the RNLI. In this anniversary year, Women of the RNLI shines a spotlight on the various roles that women have – and always have had – in this vital charity.
The exhibition explores the experiences of current volunteers as well as the stories of the people who paved their way. From crewmembers and lifeguards to fundraisers, mechanics and station managers, women contribute to every aspect of the RNLI’s work.
At the heart of Women of the RNLI is the photography of Jack Lowe, an artist who for almost a decade has been documenting the crews and views of every RNLI lifeboat station. His evocative images, captured using Victorian glass-plate technology, allow us to see the modern work of the RNLI through an historic lens.
Together with the voices and experiences of RNLI volunteers, Women of the RNLI provides a personal perspective on a lifesaving institution.

I have got the tickets for our group. I will meet you by the exit of Greenwich Cutty Sark DLR Station.
