28 January 2026 - South East Meet-up - The King’s Arms in Shepherd Market (Green Park tube)

[Wapping]

We have an organiser and venue.

 

[The Other PaulG]

May I make a suggestion? The King’s Arms in Shepherd Market is pretty central (Green Park tube), has good beer, if it’s unseasonably warm we can drink outside, and there are 7 or 8 restaurants of all types within 50 metres?

Oh, and we can test our memories about Jeffrey Archer.

Proper London boozer, mate.

 

[Wapping]

Excellent.

We have a venue, thank you.

Arrival time, mein kapitain?

 

[The Other PaulG]

I will see whether I can reserve a table. If not, I will commit to arrive early… so KO time TBC

 

[The Other PaulG]

The range of restaurants in this vicinity is pretty broad, Mediterranean, Polish (excellent, I ate there recently), Lebanese, Italian…. I will wait until we have a clearer idea of who will be attending, then we can make a choice according to attendees’ preferences.

Should the need arise I can direct attendees to a very convenient bordello within yards of your chosen venue.

A bordello?

This lot are more suited to, a bawdy house.

Right now, either sounds fine.

I’ll see whether I can book….

Hi all and happy new year to the SE crew.

The table in the pub is reserved, and we have some A1 restaurants right on the doorstep.

Come and join us for some great beer, great chat and maybe plot some events for the year ahead.

Right. I’ve never tried this internet dating fandango but if new bods are allowed, then I reckon I can sneak out without Mrs BD noticing…
