The British Library might be a good choice. There are lots of tables we can sit at, wifi, a cafe and, should people want to make use of them, reading rooms with access to lots of books. The opening hours aren't as good as a pub, though - I think we would get thrown out at 5pm (at which point we can relocate to a pub) and lots of things aren't open at all on Sundays, so we would probably need to move the meetup to a Saturday (which might be good - I'm sure there are some people that can't make Sundays). _______________________________________________ Wikimedia UK mailing list [email protected] http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: http://uk.wikimedia.org
