Shanty Singing at the Tea House Theatre restaurant/bar
Third Wednesday of the month, every month at this charming restaurant /bar/Tea House in Vauxhall. Entry is £10. The food is home cooked and the fish and ships smells and tastes delicious.

A Sci Fi/Fantasy Feedback Session
Join us at Craft Beer Co. Brixton for our structured Sci-Fi & Fantasy Feedback Session. A supportive, focused space where writers can share their work and receive constructive, thoughtful critique.
These sessions are designed not only to help authors refine their writing but also to strengthen our community. Giving feedback is as valuable as receiving it: by learning to critique effectively, we sharpen our own editorial instincts and deepen our understanding of craft.
Whether you’re submitting work or attending as a reader, this is a collaborative, growth-focused environment.
**FOR THOSE SUBMITTING WORK**
**We allow up to 4 people to submit their work** **for feedback. In order to submit please RSVP and send your submission to** **scififantasyauthors@gmail.com no later than the Sunday prior to the session** to give organisers time to review submissions and arrange critique groups in advance. *Priority for submission slots is given to those who have attended a previous session.*
To ensure quality and fairness, submission guidelines are as follows:
* **A short introduction (2–3 paragraphs max.) explaining:**
* The context and status of the piece (early draft? polished?)
* What kind of feedback you’re looking for
* **An excerpt (chapter or short story) of up to 3,000 words**
* +10% flexibility allowed
* Strict cut-off beyond that
**FOR THOSE PROVIDING FEEDBACK**
Please RSVP and read the “How to Give Feedback” document that will be shared prior to attending.
* Bring a device suitable for reading the submitted piece
* Be prepared to engage respectfully and constructively
* There is no expectation to read anything in advance. All reading takes place during the session itself. We begin with dedicated silent reading time, ensuring that everyone engages with the piece equally and no one feels pressure to prepare outside the session. Just show up ready to read, think, and contribute.
**SCHEDULE**
Attendees will be placed into small critique groups of 5–6 people, each with an experienced facilitator to guide discussion and manage time.
**6:30–6:45pm** – Arrival, drinks & group seating
**6:45–7:30pm** – Silent reading & note-taking
**7:30–8:00pm** – Structured feedback delivery
**8:00–8:30pm** – Open roundtable discussion & author questions
Each participant will have up to 5 minutes to share feedback during the structured critique section. Authors listen without interruption, with space for clarifying questions later in the roundtable.
Whether you’re looking to polish a chapter, test an opening, or strengthen
your editorial instincts, these sessions are an opportunity to grow together.
RSVP early, as places are limited to ensure productive group sizes. If you can no longer attend, please update your RSVP.
SOLD OUT • TEiP DEEP: A small group, deep dive into a single Thought Experiment
A **smaller, quieter, and less rushed** edition of THOUGHT EXPERIMENTS IN PUBS.
At TEiP DEEP, we have the chance to spend a whole hour and a half on **one thought experiment**, exploring different perspectives, coming up with new questions, listening and learning from one another.
**How it works:**
\- We split into small groups for each chapter of the thought experiment \(3\-4\)\.
\- We shuffle every 25 mins to meet new people and change things up\.
\- And at the end we'll have a brief group reflection\, sharing ideas and insights \- this will be lightly facilitated to ensure that everyone has a chance to speak if they want to \(no pressure\)\.
Some simple ground rules to keep our conversation the best it can be:
* respect for one another’s perspectives, beliefs, time (etc.)
* confidentiality of personal stories
* own your perspective
* you don’t have to talk if you don’t want to.
Our aim is the same as our bigger Thought Experiments in Pubs meetups: **a chance to meet and talk at about meaningful, thought provoking things**.
Although we’ll be going a bit ‘deeper’, we’ll keep the intention to have an enjoyable evening, with good humour and fun.
Places are limited to 15-20 people and tickets are £5.
Please update your RSVP if you can no longer attend so that someone else can have your place.
**Who should come:**
Everyone! We believe that the more perspectives, the richer the conversation. This group is not about being experts in Philosophy, it is about *doing* philosophy. That is, bringing our various life experiences and lenses on the world to group discussions about the human experience, the nature of reality... etc. etc....
**Where we'll meet:**
The Fitzroy Tavern in Fitzrovia. The nearest Tube stations are Goodge Street and Tottenham Court Road.
Looking forward to meeting & talking with you :-)

Canal Walk - Angel to Victoria Park Cafe / Market
We will enjoy a leisurely walk (approx 45 mins - 1 hour) along Regent's Canal from Angel station and ending at the fabulous Victoria Park Market. This event usually runs on the 4th Sunday of each month, unless there is bad weather or exceptional circumstances. We are a welcoming group, so feel free to mix around and say hello other people.
There is a wondering food market in Victoria Park, and most of us will get something to eat together. We usually sit on the grass or public benches (if available) near the Bonner Gate entrance, behind the Dogs of Alcibiades statue. This is at the intersection of foodstalls running north/south and east/west. If it is raining or the market is closed, we can either go to the Pavillion cafe, or The Crown pub on Grove Road instead.
Please note a few points:
1\. There is currently no charge for this group\. I will need to review this again later in 2026\.
2\. WE WILL WAIT ONLY ABOUT 10 MINUTES AFTER THE START TIME\. If you are running late\, please catch us up along the canal\. Please note\, I will not be checking for meetup or whatsapp messages after the walk starts\.
3\. The nearest tube station to Victoria Park is Bethnal Green station \(central line\)\. Please check Google Maps or similar\.
4\. You are responsible for yourselves on the walk\, so please bring appropriate footwear etc\. Please be mindful of those around you\, especially where the canal gets narrow in places\.
Whatsapp group here: https://chat.whatsapp.com/IJd6MJfVDPC6jUw6iW77ZY
Previously, there was a separate walk on the 3rd Sunday of the month, which started at Limehouse Basin, and then ran along the same canal to Victoria Park. Please note, the walks starting from Limehouse on the 3rd Sunday of the month are now cancelled for the foreseeable future.

C++ in Finance : an experts round-table
This might be the first time we've had two events in one month!
We have a special *second* March event with a panel of experts from Citadel Securities who will discuss what it's *really* like using C++ in financial systems. The event is timed to be just before the WG21 (C++ standards committee) meeting the following week, so we have some big visiting names.
**Citadel Securities** will be hosting this one and providing a larger venue (the same place they hosted us last summer) with drinks and snacks. Thanks Citadel!
**For this venue we need to collect full names and email addresses** so they can send you a QR code to get in. You will also be sent terms & conditions via Docusign.
The data will only be used for this purpose and not published anywhere or used for other purposes.
Please note that the QR code will be sent from **[notify@22bishopsgate.com](mailto:notify@22bishopsgate.com)** (a send-only address).
If you'd like to speak at a future event please get in touch at [cppldn.uk/speak](http://cppldn.uk/speak).
**Here's the approximate schedule:**
**18:30** *Doors open*
**19:00** "Intro and news" - *Phil Nash*
**19:10** Lightning talks
* Timur Doumler – *C++26 contract assertions*
* Gasper Azman – *std::execution*
* Juan Alday – *Why C++ Is Critical to Finance*
* Carl Cook – *C++26 and Low Latency Systems*
* Herb Sutter – *Reflection + Totality of C++26 and Why it is an important release*
**20:00** Panel Discussion
Herb, Timur, Gasper, Juan and Carl stay with us for a panel, moderated by Allie Tamburro, on the topic of, "*What it’s really like using C++ in financial systems/industry"*
**21:00** *Conclusion, and moving on somewhere else*
\-\-\-

*Herb* is a technical fellow at Citadel Securities, designer of several Standard C++ features, and chair of the ISO C++ committee and the Standard C++ Foundation. His current interest is simplifying C++.

Currently developing \`std::execution\` as the basis for general async in C++ and advancing contracts for a safer, more expressive language.
