Just booked my ticket. I’ve never done anything like this so am a bit nervous but so excited to meet some London-based Substackers. Thank you for organising the event!

Hey Amy, I’d love to come. (I’m also a West Londoner 😊 born and bred in Fulham, but I live out near Epsom now)….anyway, I’d really like to come along to this, but I’m quite nervous to book a ticket in advance. I have fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue; it’s not the best with the cold/this time of year. So I may book but I may also need to cancel if my pain levels are too high. Hope that’s ok.

I know Hammersmith is good for transport but depending on location, I can’t walk too far. Is there parking nearby? I might even grab an uber. Sorry for the long message, I couldn’t see how to DM you! Thanks

Hi Louise thanks for your message. I understand. Once you book I'll have your email and we can work out a solution that supports you. One of the writers at the last meet up was in a similar position; shall I ask if she'd be happy to connect about her experience to quell any anxiousness?

Hi Amy, I’m so sorry I missed this original message. Thanks for replying! Energy wise it’s up and down but I’ve been having more “good” days recently. I’ve just seen the next meet up is on Monday. Unfortunately I won’t be able to make it as we are going for dinner for my Dads birthday - which is the 13th. I’ll be sure to look out for future dates!

Hi Louise, it was me that also can’t walk far (due to an autoimmune disease which effects my spine) and it’s a fab venue.. there is parking right outside the entrance on the road leading up to the river front/building.. free after 6pm.. and should be plenty of space being a Monday night 👍 Let me know if you need more info 😊 Hopefully see you there ✨

Hi Eva, thank you for reaching out and the information about the venue. I won’t make it tomorrow but I’m hoping to attend a date in the future. Do you know if there is blue badge parking? Or isn’t that necessary because the venue has good access by the sounds of it.

How wonderful! It seems like the actual perfect event I’d love to be part of, and, I would loved to have come…except my partner has an event that night. If they can change it, I will definitely come along 😊 thank you so much for thinking of me, and keeping me in the loop too!

Yes, I should be able to.. just need to confirm childcare and I might arrive a little late 😬 I’ll book a ticket and if I can’t make it due to logistics/fatigue, you can have an extra drink on me 👍🥰

This is so exciting to see! I'm a Substacker who will be living and teaching in London next summer 2026 (and I've lived there before, so it feels like a homecoming) - It's a ways off but amazing to see this wonderful group of Substackers. I'll keep my fingers crossed that the meetups continue to next year and I can meet some of you in the London Substacker community.

That's something to look forward to. We'd be happy to welcome you. I love Jane Austen too. Have you watched Miss Austen on BBC?
