Gransnetters Meet

creativeness Nothing is happening in the near future mainly because of the strikes. It will probably be John Lewis Oxford Street but once transport has decided when it is running I will let everybody know.

Hi might be ok to come to this if transport running ok. Also hoping it’s fairly central London would be good Carole

notgoneyet it would be good to meet fairly soon- bus and tube strikes are a problem at present.

Hi all. I see the last London (John Lewis) meet up was back in May. Is anyone ready for another one there? I missed the last as I forgot to look at the Forums to see if the London bunch was meeting up again, but I’d love to come to another one now.

Enjoy your meet up ladies I’ll join you in spirit. ?☕️

Am very sorry but can't make it this morning because of a zoom meeting. Have a great time.

Niobe it may well be a photo of an empty seating area with used cups!

I will be there too! But not in the photie!

See you, Charleygirl!

loopyloo we are meeting at 11. am on the 4th floor at the cafe there. There should be 5 of us I know of who are going.

It is easy to find, it is at the top of the escalator and it is all open plan although small. They rake cards but not money.

Fanny hell will have frozen over before my photo is taken anywhere.

Is anyone planning on being there tomorrow?

just for future ideas maybe, how about near farringdon station which now has step free access.
there is the sir john oldcastle wetherspoon very nearby, farringdon road entry in greville street.
about 3 mins from station.

I only had one grandparent, my nan and when i was small we went to Victoria Park.
I was very young but never forgot, probably because it was the only time she ever did take me out.

Have a great day tomorrow, and please take a photo!

How exciting!
I met up with Gwenisgreat cos she lives in Harrogate where our DD2 lives-very enjoyable ? enjoy!

Are we still on for this Friday, John lewisfloor cafe 11am?

I personally think we should start off in John Lewis- if prices are horrendous we do not have to have lunch there but Oxford Street appears to be a reasonable place for most folk to get to.

I personally would not consider East London. but I am only one person., it may suit others.

See you Friday 6th May, all being well.

I just had a look at House of Fraser tea room. Terrible reviews. Very overpriced and small portions apparently so wouldn’t recommend. John Lewis sounds the easiest option. I used to eat at The Place to Eat at Peter Jones in Chelsea and was happy with the choice.

ElusiveButterfly, hope you can go too.

Great, see you there.
Theodore, nothing to stop you suggesting Victoria park meetup as well sometime. I will look into how to get there.

Thank you for that- I did ask Alexa but she pointed me in the direction of Victoria station. I have never been to Hackney and could not get there without mega difficulty anyway.

Will see you there Lemsip.

Victoria Park is in Hackney

I live in the same direction as Bellanonna. I would be interested in going to a central London meeting (the one near foyles would be great for us south Londoners), but definitely could not do east London.
John Lewis sounds a good idea. There is a Salvation Army cafe near Oxford Circus which a friend uses when in the West End. I don't know how big it is but it would be cheap, so a possibility.

Lovely, I will look forward to it!
