Ever since the early days of the club, we have held a London meeting on the first Friday of the month, and for over ten years the venue has been The Windsor Castle Pub, 27-29 Crawford Place, Marylebone, London W1H 4LQ. This is a typical English pub, full of memorabilia, having on display various Handlebar Club trophies and photographs.
The numbers are rather variable, but we usually have between six and twelve members, together with some wives, girlfriends etc. We arrive between about eight o'clock and half past eight, and those of us who don't have to catch trains often stay on until closing time.

The sketch map below should give some idea of where to find the pub. If coming by car, parking is possible in the evenings on the streets nearby, though it sometimes involves driving around for some time to find a place. If coming by public transport, it is perhaps fifteen minutes walk from Baker Street underground, ten minutes from Marylebone, or around five minutes from either of the Edgware Road stations. |
