Okay, spoken to Steve Early at the Pembury, and everything is a go. Pub 
has wifi too. I'll be there from 7.30 sharp, to meet and greet, in a 
Ubuntu tshirt.

Will post a reminder about this to the list tomorrow, and send one to 
the GLLUG (Greater London Linux Users Group) list as well.

See you on Thursday,

John

According to TfL, walking there is about as quick for me as getting a
combination of bus and train...I do worry sometimes!

It's only 2 or 3 mins walk from Hackney Central railway station which
is on the North London line, which the tube connects to at Richmond,
Highbury and Islington, Stratford, (a few mins walk from) Camden Town,
and other places...

[ubuntu-uk] Gutsy release party: The Pembury Tavern

2007-10-08 Thread John Levin
Hi all,

I visited the Pembury Tavern, the venue I suggested for the Gutsy London
launch party.
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/GutsyReleaseParty

It's a nice large pub, one room but with a spur to the right that we
could ensconce ourselves in. No music, jukebox or piped; no tv; very
good beers reasonably priced.

Travel is quite good; no underground nearby but plenty of buses and
Hackney Central / Downs overground stations are close. There is some
parking (but not advisable if you're drinking):
http://www.individualpubs.co.uk/pembury/where.html

Interest whetted?
