London blokes - I'll be in London Nov 30th-Dec 8th and would love to host a meetup. London social host @Asatar will be there as well. Anyone is welcome to attend. Informal event. Don't bring your resume. Round of shots on me for the first 5 that show up.

Location: The George Pub near Liverpool Street station. Informal, easy to find, good transport, good prices. @Asatar hosted one here back in October that went well (~15 showed up)
Website: http://www.andazdining.com/georgepub/default-en.html
Address: The George, 40 Liverpool St, London, EC2M 7QN

How to find the group:

Well this is what i look like (handsome bugger I know).

I'll be wearing a black jacket, and will have two proper stouts in my hands. I'll also let all the bar staff know where we're located so if you don't see me just ask around. You can also email me at [email protected], ill check my email periodically throughout the eve.

Two other quick things I'd like to mention for @AndyLouis :

Try doing an Irish Car Bomb with Young's Double Chocolate Stout instead of Guinness. Delicious.
Chugging contest.

That is all.

I am thinking about joining one of the meetings! Is it a nice way to network with current investment bankers, or are there mostly just students/ people interested in finance looking for a job?

I've only been to the NYC meetups which have been mostly professionals attending (there were at 21+ bars), but imagine there will be a mix of professionals and students attending

I would be in for both days. I was also at the WSO meeting in London - George Pub is a nice pub and very easy to find. It was not crowded at all when we had the meeting so it was really a great pub for the meeting.

I must say there was rather a bit too much Celine Dion being played at the George during the last WSO meetup... That said, in for either date. Would suggest the Vintry as a potential alternative - Fuller's pub, massive beer and ale selection, and in the middle of Bank / Monument / Mansion House tube stations.

Hey @AndyLouis you had the wrong address for the pub.

We met up at : 40 Liverpool St, London EC2M 7QN

Easiest way to find it is to come out of Liverpool Street station, Starbucks side if I remember correctly and go straight right. It will be on your right and most likely packed.

If we got a head count going in order to try and reserve some tables that would be cool, I know we were all regretting our huge circle we formed at the door last time.

got it fixed, thanks, how many showed up last time? i

Want to say somewhere from 10 maybe up to 15?

I know me @asatar and some others ended up going to the bar down the road after for a little.

I left early from that, so depending on their work load right now expect a good night haha

why do the meetings always have to be in the city? I think the next one should def. be in Mayfair

Mid way between Mayfair and the Wharf and in the City = maximum accessibility! Might consider one around Covent Garden / Soho though.
