APL Wikiwe tend to meet in pubs which provide some sort of space for us to talk. A little more than just leaning against the bar, we try to pick venues which have a quieter room, wifi access (if not we supply our own, but it has limited capacity) and decent food - and good beer, of course.
Due to cost constraints, this pushes our meetings into the middle of the afternoon as central London pubs will otherwise charge a considerable amount for the space we occupy.
Currently our most regular venue is
#Knights The Knights Templar, 95 Chancery Lane, Holborn, London, WC2A 1DT map
Although we also use #Albion The Albion (where the BAA AGM was recently held).
and have used The Edgar Wallace.
