**London DIS Meet!
- Thread starter WDWfan uk
- Start date
Our intrepid investigator went on his fact-finding mission and came back with the following report 
I understand he is recovering well from his ordeal -
PUB: The pub is small (read - tiny!) but should be ok to fit us all in.
UNDERGROUND: It is close to Hampstead tube and we are hoping the tube will be fully operational by the time of the meet. Right now, you have to take the Northern Line and get off at Warren Street and catch the replacement bus service - one every minute - to Hampstead. (Due to the carriage derailment some days ago).
CARS: Parking may be tricky although the the "Resident only" restrictions apprently don't apply on Sundays. Shaun advises that the wardens are very hot in this area. (I saw a car-park on the map I looked at, which may be a walk away, but might be where we'll aim for).
KIDS: All ok up 7:30 PM so for lunchtime will be fine.
FOOD (1) : They have a 40 seat Conservatory restaurant - good basic home made food. No kids meals in evidence.
Shaun has kindly tentatively booked 12 seats for Sunday in his name, but not given a firm time.
FOOD (2): There is also a McDonalds next to Hampstead Underground or Pizza Express going towards Belsize Park near the Royal Free Hospital plus other restaurants in the vicinity if the children or their parents prefer!
BOOZE: It's a YOUNG's Pub! - Yipeee! - nuff said! (Quote from Shaun )

Looking good for us Shirley. We have booked a hotel in Brent Cross for Sunday night. It's only a couple of stops on the tube from the pub, so should be quite handy.
Tam looked at the map and worked out that it's very close to Brent Cross Shopping Centre. Doh!
Looking forward to annoying ... er ... I mean seeing you all soon.

As you may have read elsewhere, we are bring Emily, our 11yo. She is anxious to meet some kids from there, so the more the merrier. She is well versed in Disney, so can talk freely with any age. We are taking all the tips into our plan, and are excited about the meet, and the trip. We have Thanksgiving this thursday, then it's time to begin packing.
I really hope I can make it there.
I am going to see Eddie Izzard Saturday night in Brighton and have boked a hotel to stay the night there.I will try to leave a bit earlier and drive straight to the pub.It probably won't be at 12 but I'll still do my best to get there!

Looks like DS is gonna have his pick of the girls LOL!!
Kev look forward to meeting you again.
The only thing that is bothering me is as im a moderate to severe asthmatic,i suffer terribly where people smoke,epecially pubs,so I apologise in advance for the amount of coughing I will be doing, and perhaps one of you needs to practise the CPR thingy just in case LOL!!!
Shaun,not knowing London that well,would it be easier for us to stop off at a train station outside of London,park and train it in?,or Drive in and park near the pub??

Jules,
I did check the pub out but it's NW London and I live SE London - i.e. not really my neck of the woods.
I did notice a lot of "Resident only" parking bays, but that doesn't apply on a Sunday.
The underground station was in easy walking distance, so if you can anywhere near one to park up or get to a station to connect with the underground may be easier.
The pub is quite small, so if it's too smoky we can decamp to another child friendly one within walking distance.
