Many thanks for the update Gene, I can certainly stay on course to be a driver on the day, as expected from the word go, so not a problem.

Put me down as reserve driver Guv 👍👍 You're already down as reserve mate. If you can step up and be a named driver then I know I can leave my motor at the hotel which is too far away to get back to at short notice on the morning of the Meet. Gene

1 WEEK TO GO!The countdown is on! This is your last chance to give Messenger Of The Gods a spin before we descend on London. A reminder of what's in store: The itinerary. The format of this meet will be similar to previous Meets where we have a drive around during the morning while the roads are quieter, and a steady walk around during the afternoon after a nice lunch break. As far as the morning drive is concerned, we should only be covering around 8 miles in total so absolutely nothing to concern anyone. For those who are driving, there will be one location that will require payment either at the parking meter or by the RingGo app on your phone. This should be around £1.50 and ideally paid for by any passengers in the car rather than the driver themselves. Saturday April 22nd:I will be arriving at the Premier Inn hotel for Midday. After parking up I will be having an easy stroll along the Mall for a few pints and a spot of lunch before returning to the hotel to check in. After a wash and brush up I'll be going out again on the evening for food and drinks. Anyone else arriving on the Saturday is more than welcome to join me. Just get in touch on the day and I'll let you know where I am. Sunday April 23rd. The Meet:I will be having breakfast in The William Morris (Wetherspoons) on King Street, Hammersmith at 8am. Again, anyone wishing to join me is welcome to do so. WE WILL ALL MEET UP AT COLET GARDENS AT 9AM. THIS WILL ALLOW US TO ALL HAVE A CHAT BEFORE THE MAIN EVENT AND FOR PEOPLE TO ORGANISE BETWEEN THEMSELVES WHICH CAR THEY WILL BE TRAVELLING IN DURING THE MORNING. THE MEET ITSELF WILL START AT 10AM SHARP. PLEASE DO NOT BE LATE AS THE MEET WILL COMMENCE WITH OR WITHOUT YOU AT 10AM. Once in the cars... Drive to: GEORGE CHASES ALBY. We will park in Uverdale Road (free on street parking) and then cover the following locations on foot.
- Alby Spooner does a bunk
- Alby Spooner's Yard (exteriors)
- George v Alby Fight (exteriors)
- George almost catches Alby
Return to cars. Drive to: LUKEY'S GAFF (Exterior) We will park in Warbeck Road which is chargeable at either a parking meter or via the RingGo App (+/- £1.50) Return to cars. Drive to: CHASING LUKEY. We will park in Wilsham Street (free on street parking) and then cover the following locations on foot. - Lukey on the slope
- Lukey running through flats
- Rudd gives up the search
- Rudd questions lad about Lukey
Return to cars. Drive to: BROOK GREEN. Park anywhere in Brook Green or the side streets off Brook Green which is free on street parking. We will then walk to our nearby lunch break pub (TBC on the day). The afternoon tour will be entirely on foot and the cars can be left where they are for the rest of the day.
After lunch. Walk to: - The Rix Residence (exteriors)
- Lukey thumbs a lift
- Linda & Lukey's Church (exteriors)
- Alby jumps garden wall
- The Sweeney punch up finale
This concludes the Meet. If things go to schedule, this should be at around 4.30 to 5pm.
Walk to The Queens Head for the evening meal.
I will be handing out addresses and postcodes to all drivers on the day. Following your sat nav or phone sat nav makes this really easy.
Here is a selection of the locations we will be seeing... but as ever, I will be pointing out a few bonus locations along the way.
As ever, any questions, please fire away. Gene.

Gene, I can park at the breakfast location easily on Sunday for some nosh at 8 ish? Parking will be a pain near there however you can park for free in Colet Gardens, it is just a short walk from Colet Gardens to Hammersmith Broadway and the William Morris. According to Google Maps it is a nine minute walk with a distance of 0.4 miles. Sam.

Gene, I can park at the breakfast location easily on Sunday for some nosh at 8 ish? As Sam says, park up in Colet Gardens and walk from there 3L. Try to time it to get to the pub for as near to 8 as possible though as sometimes service is a little slow and we need to be out of there for no later than 8.50 for the walk back to Colet Gardens. https://www.instagram.com/p/C0rxct1oVOF Gene.
