Hello, I'm on a family vacation in London right now, I'll be here till the 17th. If anyone is interesting in meeting up for some drinks, or maybe some food, let me know.

I wish I was going to be around for Hugo's party, but these tickets were purchased about a year ago

My wife and I will be there (just south of London in Redhill) the 16th-19th, but won't have a vehicle. We're possibly interested.

I was also trying to schedule this trip to be at Hugo's party, but those dates were blacked out for the free ticket I had.

I also don't have a vehicle, but I'm definitely interested. I'm actually leaving on the 18th and I'm in the Fulham area.

Richmond is a place between the two that has lots of nice bars and restaurants (expensive though) not far from Kew Gardens either, and there's a riverbus pier.

Although Red Hill -> Richmond by public transport probably isn't that easy.

I think the trains from Red Hill come into London Bridge, plenty of nice places to eat and drink between Fulham and London Bridge.

Redhill to Richmond: Approx threequarters of an hour, change at Clapham Junction - easy! Speak to a railway enthusiast!

......and while I'm at it, Fulham to Richmond, half an hour: District Line changing at Earls Court.

I'm up for meeting anywhere, and I have an oyster card.

Any transportation information is greatly appreciated, I already got kinda lost and couldn't find the proper bus stop to get back home. So I ended up walking 6+ miles across town, luckily I had my GPS unit with me and created a waypoint for my neighborhood. However, walking 6 miles with my nephew in a stroller was a little tricky and the trip took around 3.5 hours by foot.

Don't bother with a GPS, take a chalk and mark the corners on the way out, from my memory, everything in Fulham looks much the same!
