Hyde Park Gig Meet — Forum Archive

14 Jun 2005, 06:07

I will be at 'The Audley' on South Audley Street before the gig. This pub is a 5 minute walk from the entrance to the gig on Hyde Park Corner, but set back on a side street so shouldn't be taken over by gen public.

The Audley is a decent size boozer and has plenty of seats outside for summer drinking, as long as the Mancs don't bring the weather with them ;).

Closest tube station is Hyde Park Corner [Piccadilly Line].

Everyone welcome.

Anyone know how to post a multimap thingy with a big red arrow pointing to the spot ?

Tim - could you put a sticky on this ? Cheers.

Cool. I just found it on the map. And it's not even far from where I'm staying :D

What timescale are we talking here? As I'm a) not sure what time I'll get to London and b) not sure how much of the supporting acts my travelling companion wants to see...

My plan is still to leave Glastonbury in time for a couple of pints before the gig. Wish me luck!!!

What time will people be in the pub until??? We don't get in to London until fairly late and I'll have to the hotel and find my bearings. It would be nice to meet the peeps from here though so, if I ever manage to find the pub, i'll see you's there :)

I am coming down on my own from Darlington, get into London about 2.30pm, my (ex) 'billy no mates' mate is not getting down till later so I shall make an appearance at The Audley for some afternoon refreshment. I believe I (and my mate) met several of you in the pub before Finsbury Park in 2002 - there were some Brazilians there too! Looking forward to it alot..... :clap: :clap:

That would have been the "Worlds End" pish up, that was the biggest meet up we've had, we had a couple of the German Order as well as Dutch Jim, several Americans and a couple from Argentina as well as the Brazilians you mention, not forgetting the Scots, Welsh and Engerlish from all over the place. Some of the pictures are on my msn site in ma signature below :beer:

So is there a venue for the pre 4 O'clock meeters??

Nice to see you approve of my assessment of you Al!

Was under the impression that there was no arrival time as such. I certainly to be propping up the bar well before 4, Ness.

You are right Lun, that was just what NO Babe said! I will be out from about 1.30, but will have to take it easy on the beer so I don't get too over excited.

Click the picture site link in ma signature and you'll spot a couple of the dodgy Onliners, there are some in the Barca folder and some on one of the other New Order folders.

Already am overexcited, Nesso. Hope I don't peak too soon!
