Time: 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm
Place: HR Higgins Coffee Man, 79 Duke Street, London W1K 5AS
Attendees: RameshSR, Divya Kaiwar, Ajit Kaiwar & Vivek
After a bit of hiccup and lost enthusiasm to conduct any of the meet ups for the community, I said well life goes on, i love visiting coffee shops and in spite of who comes or not i shall go and sit in the coffee shops and if someone does turn up its just an added bonus. An interest from about 10 people prior to the meet saw a turnout of only 3. I myself was delayed by 1:30 hrs due to problem with the central line on the underground. When i did reach exactly when the coffee shop was closing, met up with Ramesh whom i already knew and the couple of Divya and Ajit.
HR Higgins, the coffee shop is a small coffee shop off Bond Street and has a wide variety of coffee and tea's. The coffee shop is located downstairs and has very limited seating. They serve a range of coffee's and tea's along with cakes and biscuits.
A nice place to spend an evening.
