October Beers - Saturday 15th @ The Ship & Shovell, Charing Cross

Fysh · 27-09-2011 6:57am #1

Right, it's about that time again...the next beers are going to be on Saturday October 15th (well, unless nobody can make it that day).

I've not made my mind up on where we'll go yet, though I'm tempted to say the Ship & Shovell again because it's central and equally easy/awkward for everyone to get to. I'm open to suggestions though.

So who's in?

I could go? I live in SW2 but I can go anywhere reasonably central. How many usually show up?

We've had around a dozen or so the last couple of times and there's always at least a half-dozen or so of us.

If we go to the Ship & Shovell again I demandsuggest that we go for mexican grub beforehand again

silvervixen84 · 27-09-2011 10:17pm

Yes, going for food beforehand was a great idea, loved the burrito

BraziliaNZ · 29-09-2011 4:11pm

what part of town is that in?

Fysh · 29-09-2011 4:54pm

The Ship & Shovell is near Charing Cross. Check the link for the full address and nearest transport links. It's a great little pub and fast becoming the default London Beers pub

Oh ok. Boy it sure is hot outside huh?

Misticles · 01-10-2011 10:41pm

Can I come?

I'm been sent to London to work indefinitely in Mayfair but not sure where I will be living just yet, will know this week and will be moving at the weekend

Cheetara · 04-10-2011 8:30am

Wouldn't you know it, I'm heading to see the Tidy Boys on the 15th!!! It's not on until late so if we are in town before hand I will call in!!

philologos · 05-10-2011 6:54pm

I should be able to make this

bill_lehane · 06-10-2011 10:48am

I'm off to Lisbon on business 13-16 but will try to make the next one!

Fysh · 11-10-2011 11:52am

Don't forget, folks, it's this Saturday. We'll meet around 6:30 for mexican grub at the Charing Cross Benito's Hat for food, then head to the Ship & Shovell for between 7:30 and 8.

Back from holidays (boo) but looking forward to the beers (yay!). This is probably going to be my last one cos - *deep breath* - I'm moving back to Dublin in two weeks for a shiny new job. So basically I'm going to be nostalgic and possibly slightly stressed and therefore in perfect condition to drink copious amounts of alcohol. YAY!

bluedolphin · 13-10-2011 8:00pm

I want a bottle of vodka. Now.

One of those days, eh?

philologos · 13-10-2011 8:53pm

I'm looking forward to meeting you all on Saturday.

Just for clarification is this map accurate as to where A (Benito's Hat) and B (Ship & Shovell) are in comparison to Charing Cross?

Fysh · 13-10-2011 9:17pm

Yeah, as far as I know that map's accurate. I'll PM you my mobile number in case you have any trouble finding us

So much so that I'm not sure whether it's the vodka or just the glass bottle I want more...

Smashing things is quite liberating alright....

I completely forgot about this..... The jubilee line is down on Saturday so I will have to look into how I will get there or anywhere infact

silvervixen84 · 13-10-2011 10:25pm

The Jubilee is only suspended between West Hampstead and Stanmore. I'll probably just get the bus instead. Where are you staying Misticles?

Fysh · 13-10-2011 10:36pm

Bakerloo line for the win

Bingo, you can take the Northern too if the platform is nearer at Waterloo. Looking forward to meeting you
