Venue
Tapster
3 Brewers Green
Buckingham Gate
SW1H 0RH

Kindly booked for us by LondonAndy.

It is a Davy’s winebar 5-10 minutes walk from Victoria station, close to St James’s Park station, (relatively) conveniently situated for all major London airports. It isn't the easiest place to find. It is at the junction of Caxton Street and Brewers Green, with a corner entrance to the wine bar downstairs (almost next door to the Blewcoat School which is a National Trust gift shop open until 17.30 if you arrive early!). If coming from Victoria Street turn down the road with "The Albert" on the corner.

There won't be any food provided as part of the Do, but Tapster do have a bar snacks menu which you can order from if you need some nibbles. See here for their Grazing Menu [PDF].

Thanks. Photo is one of my own from the top of St. Paul's. I don't really have any winter London photos unfortunately.

The Conrad was, until 3 months ago, the Inter Continental.

The Blue Boar bar is nice. (Nicer than Tapsters)

I'm in the Doubletree Victoria also.

I have added you to the attendees list on the wiki.

The list is really just to have a general idea of numbers so if anyone wants to come or needs to drop out please add/delete yourself. However, the Do is open to all whether you are on the list or not.
