Right, better suggestions welcome, but since there've been no others.... There's a pub called the King's Head which is a stone's throw away from the entrance to the Barbican Centre. It's on the corner of Chiswell St and Silk St, see the red marker on this image: http://cow.uk.eu.org/~cow/tmp/map.jpeg I think the event will be in the blue building below the red marker. The entrance is where the [P] parking symbol is, on Silk St. The tunnel between Barbican tube station and the pub is Beech Street, the greyed out road. There's another pub that I know just round the corner, by Moorgate tube station, called the Bishop of Norwich, that's ok. There are also quite a few pubs around Farringdon/Barbican stations (fuelling the crowds before they descend on Fabric and Turnmills) Mail me for any further directions, Jon -- This space left intentionally blank.
