Refreshments
There are plenty of options to buy breakfast, lunch or dinner on Lamb Conduit Street where you will find our dojo tucked down a side alley. This is central London and there are food options to fit every price bracket. Also note that very few places open on Sunday. Here are a few options to help you plan…
- Our venue has a kitchen with a microwave and kettle which you may use if you clear up after yourself
- There is a Sainsbury's opposite Holborn Tube Station and a Waitrose in the Brunswick Centre near Russell Square.
- Tuttis Cafe is open Sat-Sun : 8AM–4PM
- Aha bánh mi is cute and affordable right across from the dojo. Only open on Saturday. You will find similar eatery if you walk towards Holborn tube station.
- Honey and Co which is open on Saturday has a very reasonable and tasty £50 set menu.
- Ciao Bella is our post training Italian Restaurant of choice (and is booked for Sunday evening).
- The Perseverance pub on the corner of Lamb’s Conduit Street and Great Ormond Street serves great pizzas on Saturday's.
- Knockbox Cafe is a tiny coffee shop across from the dojo serving scrumptious cakes and good coffee. Open both days and starts early enough for breakfast before training.
Saturday Night
After we've wrapped up day one of our seminar, we'll be heading to the Lamb pub to refuel and recharge. We have the top floor of the pub booked. The Lamb is a traditional dark Victorian pub with a tiny garden which serves top-notch pub food and drinks. We'll be gathering around 5:30 pm to unwind, share the days stories, and celebrate yet another intense day of training. A chance to socialise, and enjoy some well-deserved downtime with your fellow kenshi. There may be a bit of music and some post dinner dancing. We can't promise anything just yet as we want to know how many of you there will be. Buy a ticket and check back with us.
Also depending on how many tickets we sell we may provide some nibbles but for now plan to make your arrangements for food and drink. Make our lives simple buy a ticket now and check back nearer the time. For the food focused folks out there check out https://www.thelamblondon.com/
