Could you please pop me down for both the Sky Garden and the Buffet X 2, as my sister is joining me.

Thanks

The Sky Garden looks different depending which season you go, and the time of day. It is a beautiful place. In the winter time there are blankets on sofas to keep you warm, in the spring, they plant daffodils and in the summer you can go outside on the terrace. In the evenings the layout of tables and seating are different too depending on what events have been booked etc. Some times they have bands playing too.

Plan of action happening for the Sky Gardens. The last train to arrive is at 11:51 and the first to leave is at 17:15 so I am trying to decide a time to book it so that everyone can come but also have time to attend the meet up plus have enough time to make the train back. Apparently the tube only takes 8/9 mins to St Pancras or to Euston from Bank on the Northern line but I would rather air on the side of caution and allow 45 minutes just in case (that is more so for people going back not going to).

What time are we having the meet up? Organisational head coming into play now. I know that it is just a matter of taking what is available for the Sky Gardens but as it will come live in a few days getting ahead of the game :roll:

I had in the back of my mind that the core time is 1-3pm but I'm sure people could stay longer if they wanted or move to an alternative cafe if the buffet people want rid of us.

Thanks Beate. So to do the Sky Gardens we are talking 12.15ish or 3.15pm depending on how far away it is plus availability.

It is really very near - takes 3 minutes slow walking between Sky Gardens and the pub:

So you could spend half an hour to an hour in the Sky Garden, you will not be bored, and be at the meet up at 1pm or after the meet up.

I counted 11 people for the Buffet, so have had to p*y a deposit of £8 per person, as it needs to be booked in advance. Anyone else, want to be added?

Also there is a 10% service charge for 8+ people. Although, most of it can be swallowed up by the 25% off for groups of under 6 (i.e. one voucher for 6 people). Remember to sign up:

Did anyone received the voucher by email yet?
