Royal Festival Hall, Southbank Centre, SE1 8XX near Waterloo station, 17th February, 12pm onwards.
Crafting meetup! I can teach knitting to intermediate, or feel free to bring any craft you like which won’t mess up the venue. Also bring stash/spare needles for others if you like. Or just come and chat with us.
The venue sell food in a cafe (standard sandwiches etc.), but they also don’t mind people bringing food in from outside. There are several other local places where you can buy stuff as well. The excellent food market outside has loads of different food options, which can fit most requirements, or you can also bring a packed lunch.
Meet on the fourth floor, outside the Green Bar (go up in lift 1, sadly not as musical as lift 7).

I have shoulder length brown hair and glasses, and I will bring my plush Cthuhlu, which looks like this:
The venue is accessible via a lift, and has accessible toilets. Waterloo tube station has step free access on the Jubilee line but not on the Northern line.
The London Awkward group has a Facebook page, which is here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/549571375087294/. There is also a thread in the new forums for saying hello.

ALSO: since this is the day Black Panther comes out in the UK, I want to organise a bonus cinema trip. If you’re interested in coming, tell me on the Facebook group or via email by midnight Wednesday 14th, and I will organise a block booking. Somewhere in centralish London, zone 1 or 2, and I’ll try for not ludicrously expensive although to be fair this is London.
(March meetup will be the 17th.)
Are there any Awkward followers outside London?
Tonnes! I’ve even been to a meetup in New York myself.
If you check the meetup tab you’ll be able to see if there’s one near you, or you could join the forums and ask.
Thanks, I meant in the UK, but I appreciate that that was very unclear. I’ll look at the meet up tab.
