Thanks again qsplan but we have already previously used both of those places for meets. I don't mean to discourage you at all, please do keep the ideas coming.  St Christophers ended up sending us out into the alleyway the last time we were there, even though we had been there previously and we had booked in advance (luckily it was a very warm night). The Old Kings head's barman got fed up with us vaping in the end. Unfortunately neither of those had a private function room, which is why I am now insisting that we have a private room to ourselves. It saves a lot of hastle. |

Thanks very much indeed for the idea qsplan but our lot like their alcohol far too much for us to consider having it anywhere other than a pub !!  |

Unfortunately we will no longer be able to have our meets at the Prince of Wales Feathers as their company has now totally banned vaping. Matt asked his boss if we could still do so as we were in a private room but he said no. 
jessica and I have been doing a lot of researching and phoning, we also went to London today (in the pouring rain  ) trying to find a new venue.
It is proving difficult to find places that meet all our criteria which are:
Central Location Private room No hire charge No minimum bar spend Open Saturdays And of course, that they allow vaping !
We are still looking but at the moment we only have two options.
1. The Kings Arms 68 Great Titchfield Street, Fitzrovia, London, W1W 7QL www.mcmullens.co.uk/kings-arms
Although the website says that they open on Saturdays they no longer do so; but the manager seems keen to have us and has said that he will open specifically for us if we can guarantee that 30 people will attend. An added bonus is that this one has wheelchair access and we would be on the ground floor as it would be only us there. 
2. The King & Queen: 1 Foley Street, London W1W 6DL www.thekingandqueenpub.com/
These are also keen to have us but are already booked for the original date we had in mind which is 31st January. I am waiting for them to get back to me about February dates. They do not charge for use of the function room but they ask for a donation of a minimum of £1. per head for macmillan nurses.
If anyone has any comments, suggestions or ideas then I would love to hear them please.
Am just going to add some tags for people who have recently attended or shown an interest in the London meets to make sure that they see this thread.

chykensa You need to keep your eyes still and stare at it as if you are looking through it, is the best I can say.

I had a great time, as always.  very much lairey again for the lovely cookies. I have requested the room again for 31st January for the next one and am waiting for them to get back to me.  Hoping that they didn't get the hump because of the fire alarm going off.  What did everyone think about the table layout this time ? |

Tom that's a shame.  If you can sort out a meet somewhere with accommodation I will come.

For some reason the tag didn't work, it's not even in my notifications. I liked it at the Prestleigh but I am happy to go along with the majority, as long as its somewhere with accommodation that will do for me. |
