London Pub Nights

There are regular Churchill Association social/pub evenings in London, usually at the Old Banke of England at 194 Fleet Street, EC4 2LT. It's quite spectacular for those of you who don't know it.

Please feel free to bring along friends/other halves and don't worry about what time you turn up as we're usually around until they stop serving. The pub also serves reasonable bar snacks so you can eat too.

Please do pass this on to any Churchillians you know who might be in the London area. The more the merrier.

Dates of forthcoming pub nights are set by the Association Committee. Please see the Alumni Calendar or sign up to the Churchill E-Bulletin.
