European Trip

The Bond Experience

Hello all...I will be taking a trip to London and then Hassel in Belgium the week of November 26th! Right around the corner...I wanted to see who might be able to get together sometime on the 26th or 27th in the UK. I will be finalizing plans soon as far as hotel and arrival times...would be nice to at least have dinner with some of my Bond brothers in that area.

Hey Mantis, You will love London. Have you been before?

I highly recommend 'James Bond's London' by Gary Giblin. It's a great book with ALL the Bond related stomps in London! Really thorough!

You can also check out my podcast on London. It might be helpful.

I was there many many years ago...and I do have that book but will bone up on it before my visit.

If I may ask, why are you coming to Hasselt? (I presume it's Hasselt and not Hassel) We have nothing Bond-related in Belgium, not that I know of.

Remmert007

Are you coming to Belgium? That's great! I live VERY close to Hasselt, so we could definitely meet up there. I could even fly to London to meet up with more people, let me know the exact date so I can book a flight.

Primary reason for my trip is business as my corporation has offices in both areas...

Hi David,
I only live 15 minutes from Hasselt. Would be great to see you there. Just let me know if you have time.
Best regards

Hi David can you email me and let me know where and when you will be in london and when you will be available to meet up . I will be asking some OO members on saturday if they will be available to meet also.

Any Bond fans on these forums who live near or in and around london. we should all try and meet up it would be great.

Thinking about us organizing a "Bond" gathering evening of the 29th in London? I will be in London starting on the 28th...Belgium from 26th-27th...Does this work for anyone?

scaramangasgoldengun

thanks hope to hear from You

I am free on the 29th, after work, say about 6ish? Please count me in and let me know where we should meet etc. I suggest somewhere in Soho as there are lots of places to eat (Chinese, Indian and others) which are not overpriced. Also there are good bars and pubs to have a "Vesper" in afterwards.

Remmert007

I have booked my train (yes, I will be zipping right through the Canal) and will be in London on the 29th, leaving the 30th, hope to see some of the people from this forum!

I am hoping to see you all there just need some more details can anyone advise a good hotel and the best method of transport from GLASGOW TO LONDON.

I was going to get the train or Fly down ..

any recomentations .. also can everyone please give details of were they are staying I would like all of us to be staying a reasonable distance from one another or better yet in the same hotel.

The Bond Experience

OK, Remmert and I would love to meet up with those who can in London the night of the 29th. I don't know which hoel I will be in at this point but would love to eat some place "Bondish"...NOT a Planet Hollywood either but a place that is indicative of London and perhaps with some Bond history...then after the meal we can walk the city getting into general mischief and mayhem....mostly mayhem.

scaramangasgoldengun

Ok I am going to try and make the 29th I have recomentdations from a Bond fan about a place in Soho which is very Bond and friendly and cool ...

Ok 29th I will let everyone know.

Kleynen

Last try. 26 and 27 I 'm free in the evening. So if you want to meet in Hasselt for a Bond gathering, send me a mail. Best regards.

The Bond Experience

Sorry, I didn't see your communication...right now I have business dinners both nights in Hasselt but if I can excuse myself would love to get together!
