Edit: I’m on floor 5 facing the river, LHS near lift 2

Royal Festival Hall, Southbank Centre, SE1 8XX near Waterloo station, 24th August, 1pm onwards.

(Please note change of meeting time, 1pm rather than 12.)

Bad book swap! Please bring any book you don’t want (cover too green, not enough unicorns, etc.), take away books other people don’t want, 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).
