I might try and get a hotel rather than try and get home. Can anybody recommend a good hotel nearby?

Sorry to say, but it doesn't look good for me, probably not able to attend that weekend. I'll see if I'm able to change things around.
What's a London GTG without a Belgian in it right ?!!

Paul and I'll probably be meeting for breakfast at Cafe Rouge the other side of the docks but either way I'm sure we'll be at The Dickens for mid-day and we'll "play it by ear" from there Nath'.....

Didn't think it worth reserving an area nor making any reservations with so few confirmed as attending to be honest.
