BeHeels Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 We were looking forward to our next trip to London for some time, but sadly enough couldn't make it to the meeting in may. Our trip to London now finaly got scheduled on august 3, 4 and 5. I don't expect that any of the attendees of the meeting in may left some breakcrumbs (or any other form of trail) for the next heeler in london So any advice on good places to ge shopping for heels would be welcome (high street, camden ...) Were at that famous italian restaurant you visited in may? And if some of the 'local' heelers are around we could maybe plan a meeting?

Fog Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 I'll try to make it too - you're here Thurs - Sat, so possibly Friday after an early finish or Saturday would fit in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jo Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 Several shops in Camden. The one at about number 236 has the complete Pleaser lineup in the basemant - but there are about 30 shoe shops in the main road (including an Aldo sale outlet). There are several shops stacked out with New Rock boots too (one of them is actually called New Rock). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are several shops stacked out with New Rock boots too (one of them is actually called New Rock). Thanks Jo, I found this online shopping map of Camden High street and chalk farm road, and Aldo liquidations is listed there. It's impossible for me to know if the map correct or outdated as it has been a few years since i last visited London. We have been to Camden of couple of times. I wasn't wearing heels myself at that time. So i actually didn't notice the shops selling larger sized heels It will be a race against time to do as much as possible in the short time we are in London.

Dr. Shoe Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 Perhaps we should concentrate our visit to the Camden area and then go elsewhere after if we have time?

BeHeels Posted June 25, 2006 Author Share Posted June 25, 2006 It could indeed save some time if someone familiar with shopping in Camden would lead the way. As Camden is crowded during the weekend i would rather go to Camden on friday afternoon, or late afternoon. (depeds a bit on the closing time of the shops there) How does this fit in the schedule for you all? We expect to arrive on aug 3rd around noon in our hotel next to Euston station. On saturday we have to be at Waterloo International between 14.00 and 14.15 (eurostar departure 14.41) BeHeels --- Going up, up ... --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secreto Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 You know it's funny, Camben is one of the few places in london, I've had a shocked assistant when I've asked to try on shoes. There aren't that many shoe shops in Canden, BUT the ones they have are well worth visiting. There is an Aldo Clearence shop, and a couple of places sell a good rage of Pleaser shoes and the like, plus if you keep heading up past the bridge, there are a few more shops up that way. When woman get taller, their shoes will fit me better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeHeels Posted July 2, 2006 Author Share Posted July 2, 2006 Time to get this thread back on track: As Camden is crowded during the weekend i would rather go to Camden on friday afternoon, or late afternoon. (depends a bit on the closing time of the shops there) How does this fit in the schedule for you all? BeHeels I noted that these heelers had the intention of joining the group: * Dr. Shoe * Dr Shoe * fogborkenvv * Calv * Secreto Could the Aldo shop be a good starting point for the meeting? (easy to find for everyone) BeHeels --- Going up, up ... --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fog Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 What time are you planning to start? I will get away from work early, I've been working lots of free overtime so they owe me one. Perhaps we can pm mobile phone numbers. There's a Wetherspoons/Lloyds bar by Camden Lock, perhaps that would be a good place for a rendezvous.

BeHeels Posted July 9, 2006 Author Share Posted July 9, 2006 What time are you planning to start? This depends a bit on the actual closing time of the shops in camden. Is that the same as high street shops? I was thinking to meet about 2 hours before closing time (having a look around the different shops... trying some heels on) There's a Wetherspoons/Lloyds bar by Camden Lock, perhaps that would be a good place for a rendezvous. Any place will do as long as i can find it The Wetherspoons bar is that the one called 'the ice warf'?

BeHeels Posted July 10, 2006 Author Share Posted July 10, 2006 I'd say you'd need 3-4 hours at least. I'm aware that 2 hours is very short, but i had taken into account that fogborkenvv was planning an 'early finish' from work. Maybe 3 to 4 hours will make that too early. Let's see what fogborkenvv has to add to this matter..... --- Going up, up ... --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fog Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 I'm hoping to get away by about 2pm - perhaps even earlier - crises permitting. But by all means don't just make the start time consequent on what I can do. I think if people are coming from some distance they'd be less likely to come into London for a really short meet.

BeHeels Posted July 10, 2006 Author Share Posted July 10, 2006 Currently i'm mainly guessing when other members can/want to join the group. Why don't we split up the tour of Camden so that there is a possibility to join later. 1st rendez vous ___@ 14:00 (4 hours of shopping to go) ___@ Wetherspoons bar near Camden lock 2nd rendez vous ___@ 16:00 (t minus 2 hours) ___@ (maybe again at the same spot, or otherwise at Aldo) If there is a need for that i assume meeting up for a late lunch just before the first rendez vous should be possible. Members wanting to join in between the two rendez vous point should contact the group by mobile. I hope this solves it for most of the attendees.
