Wednesday 14th May. I will be waiting for you from 7.00 till 7.30 in the pub. Birthplace of Turing, house of poet Robert Browning, home of electronic music pioneer Delia Derbyshire, BBC studios where many rock bands recorded and Radiophonic Workshop where Delia worked. Also Canal Cafe Theatre and barges sailing by.
How to find the pub. From Warwick Avenue tube station walk downhill
towards the modern church. The right-hand side is Warrington Crescent.
As you pass Colonnade Hotel you can see the blue plaque for Alan Turing. Turn left along Formosa Street. The Prince Albert pub is at 5A but has more than one entrance. The most magnificent entrance is round the corner on Warwick Avenue. There are are five sub-sections in the bar, so do not give up if you fail to see me on your first four attempts. I will be wearing a maroon shirt. This is a free event.
The film "The Imitation Game" tells the story of Turing's life.
Here is a trailer for that film:
