I'm always up for a wander.

Next on my list of random places to wander that I haven't been round much is Fitzrovia and Bloomsbury, but I don't know how suitable that'd be for a group.

i don't do facebook.

@cowfish (at al): If you want to do the northern end of TCR area, iId be happy to help show you around if I can (pending homework). I've worked in fitzrovia under the tower and am now being edjumacated at ucl, so i know a bit about that area. We could even go see if the bentham autoicon is out in the cloisters and give our regards.

I'd be up for Fitzrovia/ Bloomsbury on the 12th..... maybe we could finish up in Drummond Street for curry ;)

There's the new dream exhibition at the Wellcome too...

I should be free for this on the 12th. The curry sounds a tempting idea..

Any news on this? The Upcoming event is showing meeting at Blackfriars; is that still the plan or has the enthusiasm for Fitzrovia / Bloomsbury nudged it further north and west?

I'm game for this. Fitzrovia/Bloomsbury sounds good, but I'm easy. Like a photo-walk whore.

The Facebook event is linked to from the photowalking site, but there's been more discussion here than anywhere else, I think.

Its still at Blackfriars to start with with this as a possible route maps.google.co.uk/maps/ms?ie=UTF8&hl=en&msa=0&...

Please use the upcoming event as the main focus!

No more south-bank. I'm up for Fitzrovia and Bloomsbury.

We're going to be in the British Museum environs from 2pm, it looks like, in case there is a walk to be intercepted.

Hey everyone due to popular demand (not just because TfL are poking around meaning Blackfriars is closed - how about Option B?

I'm not going to make the 2pm start at the Ship & Shovell -- nice pub, though. (You might want to check which side of the road everyone's meeting on!)

Would like to meet peeps for curry or pub or something in the evening, though, so those of you with my number, keep me posted on your location(s) so I can catch up with you!

btw, as you're going to be in the area, you should try and pop into the Coningsbury Gallery and see James Ravilious' lovely, witty photos:

Phill Price  Pro User  says:

Unfortunately I know pretty much 0 about whats along the route! I suggest meeting on the North side of the pub I'll be the one looking like the person that is in all of these (sorry I haven't updated it in Flickr to get that search www.zooomr.com/people/phillprice/insidephotos/ looking rather nervous about the whole thing.

As for meet ups - call me on 07919 884 248 and we'll work out where we are and close to. I could probably stretch the diet for a day to go out for dinner with you all to, any ideas where?

You might want to pop into the British Library at the end of the walk for the Breaking the Rules european Avant Garde exhibition - some Man Ray stuff, as well as Moi Ver's Paris Photobook, Moholy-Nage (though I think it shuts at 5 on Sat)

Wow - that was awesome everyone - can you tag your shots with photowalking20080112london and upcoming:event=381367 on whatever place they go and it'll help us find each others :D

Maube we'll do the other half some time - if not I look forward to trundling around London with you again soon. I'll write up a summary on Photowalking.org - in the next couple of day's so keep an eye on this thread and I'll post a link :D

You're all awesome - thank you.

edit: I've updated the map with the green line being the route we actually walked.

Sorry I didn't make it -- espesh after Phill went to all that effort to keep me updated with changes and stuff. But I did however randomly run into blech and mirrorgirl in time to wander off to Drummond Street for a curry with them, so it worked out nicely in the end anyway.

Apologies from me too. I kind of got detached from the group then got distracted by the art deco Daily Express building - I'll upload some shots when I get some time. By the time I'd finished there the light was fading fast and I only had a slow lens with me so I packed up.
