   FWIW, I know my mother has booked some largish meetings outside of
   London.  Of course, I don't remember offhand how large, or, for that
   matter, what kind of numbers you're looking at.
  
  Go to Brighton. It's nicer than London, on the sea, easy to get to from
  Gatwick, and has more pubs per head of population than any other town in
  Britain (I think, or maybe it was more pubs per square mile). It has
  conference facilities for all sizes (although I've no idea how booked up
  they get). And it's 55 minutes from London by train.
  
 
 And its handy for me.

And me!
