Crossword Central London Meet-up

Paul.in.London was over from New York, so suggested a meet-up at our usual venue, The George in Borough High Street.

He promised not to talk about baseball, so seven of us assembled, including Peter Biddlecombe, the Sunday Times Crossword Editor. He also writes some of the general knowledge crosswords in The Sunday Times, and cryptic crosswords for the Times Literary Supplement, for which he is also the crossword editor. He is also the founder of TimesforTheTimes. Others there, apart from myself, were Paul.in.London, David1, Boltonwanderer, Pootle and JerryW. David managed to get us a table upstairs where we were well waited on, and didn't have to queue at the bar.

Here is my photo...


...and here are Jerry's...


...and Pootle's...


We had a great time and I enjoyed getting the chance to talk to Peter B.

You can see our equivalent Summer gathering here.

As for the phot at the top of the post... that was from the Millennium Bridge on my walk back to Kings Cross for my train home.
