Brilliant. :)

Does anyone have a suggestion for a good place to meet up?

We are staying using this offer.

That's right near Evans and Peel, but I think that's a bit pricey. Oh wait, you were there too.

Good job London has good transport links, or so I've heard.

-edit- 30 mins from St Pancras so I'm happy anyway. ;)

Don't remember, it has nice men that drive me around in cars.

Obviously my answer to going out in London is "TECHNOPUB", although BULLPUB is starting to edge its way in.

I'm happy with technopub, I just want it to be easy to travel to for people after work.

Is there a better time too?

Barring work emergencies, I can be there from about 4:15pm.

Do you want me to book some space at the pub (as long as everyone is happy with the pub)?

This, also, is kinda tempting. I'd take the Friday off and head down on the Megabus most like. I haven't been properly out drinking on a night out in London since my early twenties. Um, where do people normally stay?

Hangover permitting I could get lots of street photography goodness in the following day, too.

On one of your serious nights out, I think your arrival time home is late enough to argue you've actually stayed in London / in a train toilet.

In all seriousness, if I stay in town I wait until 2am and then hit up lastminute.com. I can normally grab a room nearby for between £35-£50.

Sometimes they're shit holes and sometimes they're fucking sweet. Much like the with the ladies, I'm rarely fussy at that time of night.
