Hi Guys, am in London on a research trip, this used to be a real trigger for me for drinking so am very apprehensive. Have been on the website looking for meetings and am hoping to get one near the British Library at 6 this evening, its probably me but there does not seem to be an abundance of meetings in this region, I am nervous about travelling around London late at night in areas I am not familiar with, I have sourced one in Lancing road and am hoping it is st. pancras church that this is at but am not sure, any help on London, England would be greatly appreciated, I am not great where reading maps and directions are concerned so please baby it down, Failing this I would appreciate your posts at this time.
Not being a londoner I can't help you with the geography, but you could ring the national helpline and maybe ask if a 12th stepper could meet you and take you?

Hello Newcomer - I can't really help you either. When someone tells me to look something up on a map, I say "what's map". I get along a little better with landmarks and such.
And look, there's Dean with this great info. He's good like that.
What I want to say was - Good for you for asking help and sharing. I hope you also have some good sober fun while you there!!!
I'm sorted, I asked at the place I had lunch, they kindly googled it for me and I located place for six O' clock and walked off my lunch as well, thanks for all,
Hi newcomer -- sorry that I missed your original post.
Oddly, I went to the Lancing Street meeting tonite for the first time b/c it's near St Pancras station from where I get my train home...it's RIGHT beside the British Library. Talk about no coincidences in AA!
It's a nice little meeting. I'll go back.
And a zillion meetings in London -- all of the great! I go to City meetings at lunchtime.
If you're working in the BL, there's a good, small meeting on Monday night at 1900 on Caledonian Road, about 2/3 of a mile away from the BL. Varying times in, with some newcomers. All good folks.
Good sobriety to you and all on here.
Steve
PS I love the BL -- I keep meaning to get my reader's ticket.
