Come to LissaCon, ongoing until at least 2010! I'm moving to London for two years and need to meet some of you. I don't remember anyone actually in London, but I know some people are scattered across the UK. Who? Where? And what about you going to see David Tennant people? Passing through London? Wanna hang out? I promise I'm nice, and I have a cute baby for those who like cute babies.
Also, I have lived in England before but in the midlands and as a teenager (with accompanying lack of money, car, permission to travel, etc), so I don't know what to do with myself in London as an adult. Recommendations? Preference given to baby-friendly options.

Hmm, this is interesting... I've never been to London and I'm fairly close to be interested. When are you moving there? Or are you already there now?

Hello. I haven't posted in years but I remember you. The husband and I live in South East London and I'm on school holidays from April 5th, so get in touch and we'll meet up. Can't think of anything baby-friendly off the top of my head, not having any babies yet, but there should be plenty.

I'll be in Stratford twice over the summer for Hamlet, but I have no solid plans to visit London yet. I am sure I will get there eventually, though. They have libraries!

Living in London for two years? You are currently the recipient of all my envy. I would love to live in London for any length of time, but two years sounds just about perfect.
I'm curious as to what brought you there and how you're pulling it off (especially with chidren), because that would definitely be a goal of mine if it's doable.

Whatever. I bet you'll arrange to be out of town whenever we manage to get to Scotland, too.
Make sure to set aside some time to meet up in London, then, katharina (woo!) - maybe we can get Narnia and her entourage to come as well.

Primal Curve, it's my husband's job. He works in HR mobility for a DHL Services entity and cooperates a good deal with DHL UK. Eventually he ended up working with them so closely that they asked him to come for a while, so the little one and I are just along fir the ride. My job (legal proofreading/translation/babylunchbox) would probably not get me there.
Kama, let me know sometime when you'll be in London and have time to meet up. My schedule is wide open - I don't know anyone there yet and expect to be doing a lot of wandering around town with the little one while the big one is at work.
edit: or if I misread where you are every other weekend, I'll write you when we go to Scotland

um, it's the 21st -- Thursday, right? that's what you told me to book for!
Lissa, yes, I'm in Scotland every other week, but will be in London the same weekend as Katie (er, unless we mixed things up!)
