If you're doing a photowalk in London it should be somewhere that is unique to London, a little bit off the beaten track (away from tourists), and where you can experience London in all its glory.
Jamie: sounds fun, but we're staying near the Tower of London so it'd be fun to do a Photowalk between the geek dinner's location and the Tower of London someplace. That way we don't have to take a lot of cabs all over the city.

Ah OK. I guess it depends how long you're there for!!
I am tempted to come to the London one considering I live 15 minutes by train to central London

Hey dude,
I'd love to hobnob with you and the other geeks. :-)

For a photowalk, the path on the south side of the Tames from westminster to the Tate modern gallery is a must for biggest London spots like London eye or saint paul cathedral. A bit touristic but really nice.

Oh - and we (Resolver Systems) are about to launch the public beta of our 'Excel Beater' (aimed at power users and geeks!) which I would be happy to show you. :-)

I'd love to come to the dinner if there's any space left - my biz partner for http://projectstars.com Michael Beddows is over from Canada until 17 Dec so would be good if there's 2 spaces ;)

Let me second my colleague Michael's comment above; we're launching the public beta of Resolver One - a mash-up of a spreadsheet with a software development tool - just before you arrive, and it would be great to meet up.
Hi, I would like to join in. Please let me know where I can meet you. I would also like to present an idea to you. regards, Vasanth

Hi Robert, If you still have spaces over dinner, I'd also love to join you. Which day are you thinking about for the photo walk (6th or 7th?) Great to see you over in the UK again so soon. K Rgds Bob

Robert - look fwd to seeing you. Photowalk wise we should hit the South Bank area of the Thames. Lively on a friday and some great photography of the London Eye, Tate Gallery, GLC building, Gherkin, National Film Theatre and more.

Hi Robert. I'd love to join the photowalk if possible. Can you please clarify the time and location. Hugh's blog says 9:30 (the implication is after dinner, and thus PM) but your post says 9 AM.

Is there space for a big German guy who's just moved to the UK? I even had Radio Userland installed once! Come on! I qualify! No?

Any plans to visit Middle Europe? Vienna? Germany? Germany has a lot of interesting start-ups, Austria has some, too.
Mr. Scoble - I'll be coming back through London that day (from Dubai). Wonder if I could nab one of the remaining invites? Will need to modify my plans a bit if there's still room. Sounds like a great time and FINALLY might get to meet face to face. ~Gerald, Tulsa

I see London. I see France. I see Scoble's underpants. Sorry, I couldn't help myself. I saw this post on dinners in London and gay Paree, and I felt compelled to indulge in some juvenile humor. Probably not the best way for me to introduce myself to this community of tech geek power players. I'll prepare myself for a virtual tarring and feathering...

Ive just seen your planning on doing the photowalking @ 9pm after the dinner? Eh? I doubt I'll have my tripod with me .. oh well ... looking foward to it :)

Heh...it's funny that the startups that wanted to be considered for LeWeb were *required* to buy at least one ticket to the conference in advance. Even if you did not pass the 'reviews' and got into the final list. Oh, and they didn't notify those who didn't pass, stating that it's "standard procedure". Bad manners, I would say.

Hi Robert Just a quick note to see if there's any chance to meet while you're in London. I emailed your hotmail account last week - my company's product ikordo helps you to schedule all kinds of collaboration, like a virtual assistant.
More info in my email.

There's a great walk (and great photo opps) round soho and china town. Greek Street - Soho Square - Carnaby Street - Golden Square - Brewer Street - Gerrard Street. Mail me for more details.
I cover some of these walks in my podcast "thisweekinlondon". Check out www.thisweekinlondon.co.uk for shows.

I'd love to join the photowalk, having watched and been engrossed in them all...
I'm in the photowalk facebook group but no info. there - so hope you get time to update with an official time and place (bring wet weather gear).

Hence, I vote Primrose Hill or Greenwich park.
Here's a map.

I've drawn on the route that I'd take. It takes in the city, St Paul's, Aldwych, Trafalgar, Chinatown, Leicester Square. Plenty of photo ops there!

For a flavour of what we're all about, we have a screencast here: http://www.resolversystems.com/screencasts/web-... - and we did another one with Jon Udell, which he posted here: http://blog.jonudell.net/2007/09/27/first-look-...
I would like to join in. Please let me know where I can meet you. I would also like to present an idea to you.
