Yes, have stayed there before, breakfastis amazing (included ) and the lounge and its team are excellent. Might have to guest a traveller or two in for drinks.

Good to hear, the nice promo was indeed a factor here for me, I haven't stayed at the Sheraton in a little over 10 years, now very much looking forward to it. Any idea when the lounge wraps up tomorrow evening?

May I suggest that for anyone here on the Friday night you might want to PM each other if you want to meet for a mini get together or alternatively on the Saturday afternoon. The open top bus tour fills a few hours and you'll see a fair part of the city if that floats your boat.

I have just realised, we are pretty close on timings! Let me figure out how I am going to get to LCY then I will text you. What time are you planning on getting there?

Surprised you aren't coming from LHR and joining the party there. Is this the new mature ae? Previously you'd turn up to the opening of an envelope

Not sure, am thinking 8 or so. We should arrange a lounge meetup Fri eve perhaps around the tour our host suggested up thread. We van certainty pm / bing around a few options

Now now young KARFA. Do leave angeloedades alone - he is attending the more exclusive LCY mini-DO rather than the common LHR one

As you know, work has been incredibly busy for me so for now, convenience with the chance of more sleep is great! mind you LHR is only 40 minutes by taxi from South London so only 20 minutes more than LCY

Anyway guesting is not allowed so if I was to get the party plane, being stuck in GC is no fun.

Possibly a reference to immaturity rather than age?
