London Meet - 21st Sept - The Unofficial BMW M5 Messageboard (m5board.com)

...a few of us London regulars are meeting up in the Princess Victoria pub in Shepherds bush, for lunch on the 21st September. It occured to me I should put it up on the board here and maybe get a bigger group together, (a bit like the good old days when Ashok owned an M car and still cared about the rest of us

)

Can I get an idea how many people might be interested and I'll do the organising bit....

The pub is owned by a couple of friends of mine who've recently taken it over and renovated it, to rave reviews all over the world. I guarantee it'll be the best pub lunch you've ever had...

A serious wine list and everyday food treated like haute cuisine have transformed a true Victorian original - Reviews, Food & Drink - The Independent

Princess Victoria - Shepherd's Bush - Review - Time Out London

Cheers,
Barney.

Oh ha ha very funny Barney

Nice to see someone else pull their finger out for a change. Put me down for it - only question is WHERE DO WE PARK??

Perhaps we could do a drive beforehand.. round and round Shepherd's Bush Green?? oohh aahh

There's a cobbled area at the front of the pub where a few people can park, otherwise it's free on the road anyway on Sundays.....

The biggest table seats 15 and the menu changes every few days so you'll have to wait and see.....

As for driving, it's only a short hop onto the 40 and out of town from there.......

Rob - fancy a weekend in London in September..??? It'd be good to see you for a few beers again!

What's happened to the site/edit function???? I'll end up filling the whole thread myself at this rate! I was in the middle of typing "so so far..." and suddenly I was thanked for posting! I went to edit and it keeps creating new posts. Ashok - you're an admin - can you tidy it up for me??

Count me in if the parking is sorted

Will be nice if you can arrange a car lot/park somewhere as well even if it means walking to the pub - think thats one of the main reason

lambrosj · 5th September 2008, 11:15
