Tonight's jaunt happens to coincide with London's tube strike, so just getting to the venue presents a challenge. It's just off Oxford Street, about three miles from the office so I cycle.

It's the first balmy evening for a few days so we stand outside the pub on the pavement in proper central London drinking-after-work style.
