We are going to try another famous Central London location, hopefully not full of noisy sporting enthusiasts.
Soho Square is another of London's historic venues, and contains a faux medieval building in the centre, used as a gardener's lock-up, and a genuine 1680s statue of Charles II, improbably clad in armour. Either of these are good subject matter, and there are also various towers and interesting rooflines around the Square. There will also be people nice and still having their lunches.
We will meet at 11 o'clock at the gardener's hut in the middle. If it rains we can sit (on our stools, please remember to bring these) under the overhang of the gardener's cottage and sketch from there.
Details, map, and images of the Square can be found here:
A quick internet skim has produced two nearby cafes: Govindas Pure Vegetarian Restaurant at 9-10 Soho Street, and Eat, at 16a Soho Square. We can chose when we get there. We might find something else we like better, but these two are very close by.
Nearest tube station is Tottenham Court Road, just walk west down Oxford Street and Soho Street is the first turning on the left, it leads into the Square.
We look forward to seeing many of you. Sue's number for the day is: 07975 864142.
