starlover, where did you frequent, the welsh club, the philharmonic? chachas?

so its thurs the 8th, at say 12ish at the giraffe which is somewhere near waterloo, anyone know precise directions so we don't get lost?

Festival Riverside
London
T. 020 7928 2004*

Heres the web page here - you have to scroll down to Giraffe

Another review with a map and the full address

here

ok - that map is quite a good one - the restaurant in actually in a row of restaurants in front of royal festival hall (river side) so my best directions would be to go to waterloo - here's a map of waterloo so you can find the best exit without steps !

Waterloo and ideally you want the exit opposite platforms 12 and 13 and whsmiths and paperchase. Turn left as soon as you come out of the station (you'll be in a sort of station approach road. Follow this down and you'll get to the main old entrance. cross york road and you'll see a restaurant on the right called 'Azurro' there is a large passage way, to the left of this go through this and walk down and this takes you to the back of festival hall. You then need to go round festival hall to the river and hopefully you should see the stretch of restaurants and shops (from what I remember there is also a wagamamas and a Foleys bookshop).

Am happy to book a table (do I dare book it under Hazellnut ?!)- Just need to confirm numbers - The list I have is:

Hopefully Nik72
Hazellnut
Gossifer
Starlover
BlondeinLondon
Wombat
Snufflepuss
Dropinthe ??

If everyone could just confirm they still want to come and who they are bringing - will assume 1 baby c. 10 months in tow plus snufflepuss's 3 yeard old...

yes we're in, me and leon!

Count me in - my plus one will be a 9 mth old
How will we identify each other?
Should we describe our buggies??

me and Linus are coming!
will look out for the crazy bunch of women and babies, one zapp (?) and red carnations

hopefully our table will be easy to spot - I'lltry and book enough high chairs too and I'll let you know what name it is booked under so worst case, you can be directed to the table by a waiter. But anyway, I'll be the one with the black zapp (mind you, if we're there first you won't see the zapp because it will be compactly folded up under the table ).

Right who else is confirming attendance ??
