Re: London trip 2013
Oh boy - I'm there from March 22 - March 27 too! 
This could turn into a big deal meet-up! Flash mob at Speedy's anyone!

Re: London trip 2013
Should we do vatican cameos for identification when we are in North Gower Street or in front of St Barts?

Depends if it is raining (likely) or not. If raining then inside somewhere!

Re: London trip 2013
Woo Hoo! I just booked my flight finally on British Air and I have a room booked in the Belgravia area at the B&B Belgravia. (Yup, me and Irene Adler - two of a kind 
). I'll be there Friday March 22 through Wednesday March 27.
The trip, Mrs. Hudson, is on!!
For those of us who will be in London on those dates - we must meet at North Gower for sure. What a hoot that will be if we can make it work! Ivy, you and your friend seem to have a very busy schedule, so maybe you could name a day and time and the rest of us can try to accomodate to that (?). Right now, I have no definitive plans other than just soaking in the sites and the atmosphere and going where ever Tobe says I should go.

Re: London trip 2013
These things are on my "Must Do When in London" list:
North Gower Street and Speedy's
St. Barts
Baker Street
A free concert at St. Martin's in the Field
Eat fish and chips
BBC Studio tour
A proper English tea
A theatre production in the West End
St. Paul's Cathedral and bust of T.E.Lawrence
Experience a good pub
The Eye
Catch a glimpse of Ben and/or Martin
There will be many more added, I just don't know what they are yet.

Now that's a nice and comprehensive programme. I've done most of these things over the years but never within a few days. Good luck. Especially with the last one.
But visiting the T.E. Lawrence bust isn't so bad either.

Re: London trip 2013
Did you already have lunch at St. Martin's? Very nice and affordable place to be, plus the money goes to their homeless project.

Re: London trip 2013
No, I just had a look at the stalls around the church. Thanks for the hint. And I've got some Academy recordings at home.

Oh yes I saw that on TV, I'll definitely try to have lunch there. It is called "Cafe in the Crypt," if anyone else is interested.
@Keepers Price: we do indeed have a tight schedule. We'll plan our days, or what we'd like to see when, shortly before our flight or maybe not until we're on the plane. So I cannot say anything at the moment.
