SATURDAY 18TH
Tankards, glasses and mugs at the slant from 11:15 in the Crosse Keys on Gracechurch Street in the City. As you enter look to your left and work round the room clockwise until you find us. I don’t expect the place to be busy.

Lunch at 1 pm at the Sugarloaf on Cannon and Queen Street.

SUNDAY 19TH
Lunch at the Angel on the river in Bermondsey.
We shall be walking via the Thames Path from London Bridge station. Meet at 12 noon (sharp!) outside the station on the upper level on the concourse outside the Red Wood sports pub. We’ll get to the Angel a little after 1pm for lunch. If you are not joining the Walk then transport links are below.

15 minutes walk from Rotherhithe Overground (head for the river and turn left/west/upstream).
Bus 47 or318 to Southwark Park (after alighting, walk back towards London Bridge, right into Cathay street and keep going until the pub hoves in view). Both buses run from London Bridge.
Bermondsey station is closed as Jubilee Line not running.
If you are coming, please let me know ASAP so that I can confirm places with the pub as tables may be limited.
LATE AT THE START?
Catch us up by going to the river then east/right/downstream. The pub is on the riverfront.
