Was good fun at the theatre royal with the guys up to their usual games. Then all went to the walkabout covent garden for a pub full of Aussie rules boys & gals... good fun... should of parked the GTS out the front! (Couldn't get on the rum then though... tough call!)

Parking anywhere around Covent Garden is a nightmare Rob. Used to park right outside the Australia Shop in Henrietta Street when I went to get my beers but they've moved around the corner to Maiden Lane and they're almost on the corner now so even more difficult to park outside. Not sure about outside The Walkabout,didn't know it was there. Parking is £4 per hour on meters and wardens all over the place. Saturday or Sunday morning probably best for a meet and no London congestion charge. You need to know your way in, out and around London too. The short answer is forget it.
I'll talk to you about it at Gwd

where there is a will there is a way as far as I'm concerned! I'm sure we could chat to the management & get somthing sorted with the council for a few Oz cars. Great spot & like Mick says... Sunday arvo would be the best bet

Hi Julian
Good to her from ya. Arranging something with Walkabout
and Westminster City Council may be the easy bit,but as I said, getting everybody to find it is another matter.I'll check their web site for their address.
Might be worth a go, as you said 'where there's a Will etc'. And he would go?
