We’ve got another OSMLondon pub meet-up tonight!. I’m trying to be a bit more orginal with pub choices recently, so I picked a place down in Victoria. This is not the end of London I know best, but it’s good to go South a bit. In fact I seem to remember past Victoria meet-ups (at The Windsor Castle?) being very well attended, so we’ll see. I also don’t know The Albert pub, so we just have to cross our fingers for good beer choice/food/spaciousness practicalities. If it’s hideously busy we’ll have to tough it out until the after work crowds disperse.

The last meet-up I picked “The Globe” near Moorgate. That worked pretty well for attracting attendees. I suppose it’s nice and central and in The City where a lot of people work. We got some new folks coming along, including some very active OSMers who’d not joined us at a meet-up before.

I feel like the pub was not so good for being a bit expensive. City prices? Or maybe it’s just my imagination. We’ve had some recent rounds of inflation so I haven’t got used to >£7 per pint yet :-( It’d be interesting to know if price differences between cheap and expensive pubs have shifted too. Feels like not much difference these days. It’s expensive everywhere. I used to like choosing pubs where beer is cheap, like Wetherspoons and Sam Smiths, but I suppose I can’t expect student prices all my life.

But yes… otherwise “The Globe” pub worked pretty well.

Let’s see how we do with attendees tonight. Everyone’s welcome!
