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].

Would love to come but it is December and a FT do - which means Hubby medical issues - the NCL do coincided with him having a MI (minor but a shock still) and this December he's having surgery on one of his shoulders earlier in the month which will leave his dominant arm in a sling.
One of these days ....

Just a reminder, two days left to vote, poll closes midnight this Friday and the date will be set. Looks like Frdiay 19 December has romped to the front, but perhaps it has broken from the pack too early and doesn't have the stamina to maintain the lead to the finish line!

I'll be in London the first weekend and was hoping to meet up with some BA folks prior to my first BA trans-Atlantic back to YYZ on the 15th. Sadly it looks like I'm getting out-voted.

I'd even be willing to get you there with Avios myself just to say thanks for all your help on the forum so price shouldn't be an issue! ^
