London: if anyone is interested in catching the Champions League Final on the evening of Wednesday 23rd May, please indicate in comments. My first thoughts as to location are (a) The Flask, Flask Walk, Hampstead; (b) The Cardinal, 23 St Francis Street (near Victoria Station) both of which should be showing the game. I don’t suppose there’s a great deal of point trying to get into the Sports Cafe on Haymarket on that particular evening.
If anyone is interested in meeting up in Cambridge, with the exception of May 23rd I will be working there every Wednesday for the forseeable future. The only decent pub in Cambridge is the Eagle, which is notably short on televisions, but it’s a great place for a friendly argument or two.
In passing, and not sport-related, I’m pleased to be able to say that my central London practice is finally opening at the end of the month. On Monday evenings initially, I’ll be working from a beautiful, quietly triple-glazed office in Warren Court, Euston Road (situated on top of Warren Street Underground station) handy for the Wellcome Institute, the British Library, University College Hospital etc. and within ten minutes of practically every major railway terminus.
James I’d love to meet up to see it- I’m meeting someone for a cup of tea in the City earlier so personally would prefer The Cardinal- I also know the area better than I know Hampstead- give me an email if this still strikes you as a good plan!
