7.00 - The Old Brewery, The Old Royal Naval College, SE10 9LW

We didn't get to Greenwich last year because Cutty Sark Docklands Light Railway station was closed, so I thought we'd head there for the first of our slightly more ambitious summer events. Strictly speaking, it's the last day of the astronomical spring with the summer solstice not until Sunday (9.24 in the morning, since you ask), but we should get a good view of the sunset from The Cutty Sark, which stands more or less on the Meridian.

The Old Brewery - https://www.oldbrewerygreenwich.com/ - is just a short walk from Cutty Sark station. Turn left out of the station and when you emerge from the shopping arcade cross over the road into College Approach. Walk down to the end of College Approach and cross over into The Old Royal Navy College (College Way). Walk down to the end of the building on the left and you'll find the pub just before you reach the patch of green space.

For Cutty Sark station, the most obvious connection to the underground network is at Canary Wharf (Jubilee Line). From the underground station, follow the signs to Heron Quays DLR station and from there it's five stops heading towards Lewisham from Platform 1.

Alternatively, the DLR connects with the National Rail network at Greenwich and Lewisham. From Greenwich, Cutty Sark station is only one stop heading towards Bank from Platform 3. There are half-hourly services to Greenwich from Cannon Street via London Bridge. From Lewisham, it's four stops heading towards Bank. There are frequent services to Lewisham from Cannon Street and Charing Cross via London Bridge.

As the travelling will be a bit more challenging than normal for some of us, I have put up slightly earlier starting and finishing times so there's a bit more leeway to get home at the end of the night.

The plan is to move on to The Cutty Sark, 4-6 Ballast Quay, SE10 9PD - [Cutty Sark | Young's Pub near the River Thames, Greenwich (cuttysarkse10.co.uk)](https://www.cuttysarkse10.co.uk/) - at around 8.15/8.30 and then the Trafalgar Tavern, Park Row, SE10 9NW - http://www.trafalgartavern.co.uk/ - at around 9.45.

All of the pubs have outside areas, so that's where we'll be if the weather's fine.

As ever, we may do things differently on the night. Please take a note of my number - 07761-816862 - so that you can phone me if you can't find us (but no texts or messaging please).
