Where: Festival Pier
6PM
My number: 07910657409
UPCOMING : I saw only 24 RSVPs and received 27 forms?
Itinerary:
We will meetup at the Festival pier area, if there are seats available at the bars in front, we will go there. If I can find a place, I will be overlooking the Festival Pier so don’t forget to look up 
At 6PM we will meet for drinks, introductions and Q&A and so on. It is informal, don’t be afraid
I know we did this last year (and twice!) but it just couldn’t be help. It promised to be a clear sky and I won’t miss that lovely sunset. Below is an image that indicated where the sun sets to give us all an idea where to look.
I will not put lines or anything in the map, just places where we should be at certain times. Keep up with the group and specially you equipment.
We will start from the Jubilee Gardens Area so those who want to go up to the Eye may do so without pressure. . I believe from one of the capsules overlooking London is the best spot. However for those not going up the Eye, Hungerford Bridge (side closest to the Eye), Royal Festival Hall (where the fountain is) and Southbank are great places to shoot.
Sunset: 21h21
After sunset, around 10PM will heap off towards Embankment station and take a District Line train to Tower Hill (trip takes 11 minutes), where the walk officially starts.
So we will be walking and taking photographs from Tower Hill via City Hall up to Tate Modern. I put 1h30mins between Tate Modern and China town, we will need to walk faster for this I am afraid so we won’t miss Chinatown at 3AM for our food stop. I do not have a particular place in mind any respectable place who have a table for 26 people will be fine (also they need to serve quick). We need to be out at 4AM and get a cab for London Bridge. I know there is the night bus but we do have time constraint and we need to be in place for the 4.41AM sunrise. If we leave at 4AM, we should have enough time in case there is traffic and of course if some of you want to shoot from another location.
Sunrise:4.41AM
Above is for information use only. The yellow line indicates where the sunrise is expected.
Reminders:
- Travel light. Carrying all your gear is way too much specially if you’ll end up using only a standard zoom and telephoto lenses.
- Bring your tripod. Lowlight without tripod doesn’t really work.
- Bring a small bottle of water.
- Wear comfy shoes, blisters at the early hours of the morning when you are already tired is really bad idea.
- Make sure you have £10 cash for the Black cab in the morning. Since we will be sharing one (between 5 of us), it will be affordable.
- Your photos taken in the More London property cannot be sold for profit. Our permit is for non-commercial photography only.
- No Tripod on the London Eye..
Acknowlegements

- More London, for permission to shoot in the area.

Notices:
There is no pub stop as we will be in a cafe/bar/pub/restaurant before we even start so having one a bit later is a bit overdone.
We will us the Black cabs to take us to the Sunrise meeting point, so we will not be too tired and late (hopefully).
This meetup involves a lot of walking, please do not join if you are not fit. Or if you really want to join us, make use of public transport to take you to meeting points especially the one between Tate Modern and China Town.
I received 27 signed forms for the City Hall area. Only these participant will be able to use their tripods and take photographs in that area. All others will be turned away by the security guard.
Ugh! I did put lines on the map 
I might put PDFs for you to download tonight. We’ll see how I fare after school runs and lots of paperworks. (At least it does not involve a drive to Cambridge and back like yesterday).
