Nearest Tube: Holborn. Out of the station and straight past the Sainburys (or whatever that market on the corner is). It’s about a block and a half on, across the street from the My Old Dutch restaurant.

Time? I dunno. Over to you, G.

The Paul is currently researching new pubs. But the Prinny Lou seems as good as any - cheap, most folk know where it is etc.

Let me be sure I understand the instructions for getting to the Princess Louise. Exit from Holborn station. Are there several exits? Which one? Walk down the street (Which street?) past Sainsbury’s. Just across from the My Old Dutch restaurant is the Princess Louise.

Theres really only one exit from the station and the street you want is High Holborn. I’ll be late as I’m working - should be with you lot for 4:45 or so.

Also full of games designers, or so I hear from **garius**. So it’s probably best not to talk too loudly about that interactive “Murder She Wrote” game you’re working on, or someone will nick it.

T’is true. And the bastards always taunt me whenever they’re off to E3. :mad:  
Apparently i’m actually meant to be going camping that weekend - so sadly it looks like i won’t be there until about 6/7ish.

There are two exits from Holborn, the one you want is the exit right in front of you as you come off the escalator. You’ll see the Sainsburys in front of you, slightly to the right. Cross the road towards it, the road in the same direction is High Holborn, pub is about 2 minutes further down that road.

Some of you already know me, but for those who don’t, I’m 4’11" with red-gold hair and I wear glasses. You can’t miss me, unless there’s a convention in London this weekend of short, red-haired, bespectacled Americans.

Cripes - someone’ll be shorter than me! That’s a first…

If I make it, I’ll be the one with The Jam t-shirt.
