I presume by week 3 we will be reconciled to 2018! Hopefully the winter will be mild, but I look forward to seeing you besides the open log fire at The Botanist anyway!
Although Kew Green might seem "off the beaten track" it is actually well served by public transport, and there is generally ample free parking mearby. The Mortlke Road bus stop is served by bus routes 65 (Ealing Broadway to Kingston via Richmond) and 391 (Richmond to Fulham Broadway via Chiswick and Hammersmith). Kew Bridge station (from Clapham Junction ) is across the Bridge, and Kew Gardens (Underground and Overground is a short walk or 2 bus stops on the 391 bus.
There is no need to eat if you don't want to after the indulgence and expense of Christmas, but we appreciate merry! Merry over a couple of drinks can be great! So, we look forward to seeing you, and joining you in great conversation!
Get off the bus or come from the station, enter The Botanist, turn right on entry, and look for someone you know or for the printed IVC Bulletins on the Table! Failing that phone to ask where we are!
