Know somewhere bookclub friendly where we could meet? Add your suggestion including the address/postcode here!

• Renee: Ev: http://www.tasrestaurant.com/ev_bakery/directions.htm - The Arches, 97-99 Isabella St, London, SE1 8DA. The deli part has great food (affordable too) and drinks, plus it's very central and easy to get to. I know that knitting clubs have met there more than once, so if they don't mind knitters, I doubt they'd be against a bookclub.
• Francis: I can probably get one of the big meeting rooms at my company's offices. Not sure we could get food in the evening, but can get pizza, etc, delivered. AXA, 5 Old Broad Street, EC2N 1AD
• Jason: I can probably get one of the meeting rooms at my company's offices too. Might even have some budget for food and drink. The Team, 11 Southwark Street, London SE1 1RQ .
• Dees: eBay Library/Theatre, if people are willing to make the trip out to Richmond. eBay UK, Richmond Campus, London TW9.
• Jane : we are happy to hoast here at IG Index too - we are just south of Blackfriars Bridge and have a large meeting room with a/v set up
• Rob E: Ludgate House, Blackfriars (my office). I'm happy to host a bookclub meeting at my offices. The building is located on the south-side foot of Blackfriars Bridge. Specific details: comfortably accommodate the group (~20-25), Toilets (for both sexes), power, screen and lovely London views. Address: 245 Blackfriars Road, London, SE1 9UY.
