there are lots of good pubs in fitzrovia/bloomsbury. good points: the pubs will be quiet at the weekends, it's central for everyone, and it's near the uni so the pubs are used to geeks playing chess 😉

Hey, good choice. That's 10 minutes walk away from the coolest chess shop in the country!!
anyway, a good pub might be the Fitzroy Tavern. i *think* you can book a function room downstairs which has got booths n stuff. the beer is cheap and it does food.

all this is IMHO of course 🙂 there's tons of other good venues round there.
Originally posted by EdwardipovNo i like the choice. There is plenty of public transport links to Euston, everyone should be able to make it. I'll ring that place tomorrow and see howw they feel about a load of chessheads using up all their tables. Anyone got preferences for a date? Shall we say 4 weeks on saturday, that would be October 15th. If this is too early, say now 😀
