London Meetup- 4 November 2012
« on: September 18, 2012, 08:31:29 PM »
It's been a while since anyone has organised a London meetup so I will try and get the ball rolling.

I'm proposing a late lunch gathering at Whole Foods Kensington on a Sunday in October. There is plenty of space upstairs, as well as a huge food selection and it's not as noisy and crowded as a pub, so we can hear ourselves talk. There is a wine bar for those who'd like it and any non drinkers can stick with the juice bar. You can come early and do some browsing/shopping. If you're super shy, you could scope out the group before deciding whether or not to join us. And if you haven't been to Whole Foods yet, or it's been a while, this is a great excuse!

Whole Foods is open from 10-6 on Sundays, so I think a meet time of about 1PM would work.

Anyone interested?  :)
