The next BFS London Open Night is scheduled for Friday 3 June from 6.00pm until going-home time at the Mug House, 1-3 Tooley Street, London, SE1 2PF (free entry).
Both British Fantasy Society members and non-members are welcome to join us for an evening of friendly chat and a drink or two. If you enjoy fantasy, horror, or SF books, movies and television and have been waiting to cast off the shackles of an online social life … this event is aimed at you. Past attendees of these BFS soirees include Tim Powers, Clive Barker, Lauren Beukes, Pat Cadigan, Stephen Jones, Brian Aldiss, Neil Gaiman, Sarah Pinborough … so don't be a stranger, come along and join in the fun.
The Mug House is a Victorian-style wine bar and ale house situated in the last remaining arch of the original London Bridge in Southwark, a short walk from London Bridge Station and close to many of the attractions on the South Bank.
Oh, and guess what? Joe Hill is gonna be there! That's right, Stephen KIng's son will be joining our little soiree!
So c'mon down, grab a pewter tankard and a copy of Spectrum Collection (I'm giving away free copies) and enjoy the company.

'Twas a great night. Didn't get a chance to talk to Joe Hill or Brian Stableford. Sat down with Greg and Dean and before we knew it it was chucking out time!
Still, lots of nice people came over for a chat, I managed to discuss the Dark Continents/Hersham Horror launch at FCon with Paul and Marie, and then we went to the Soho Club for more drinks until 3:30a.m...
Met a couple of aspiring writers who asked me about our submission guidelines - one's a vampire fan, so I recommended her getting hold of Serenity's The Left Hand.
Only drawback? A very pricey pub - but hey, that's London village centre. Nice pewter tankards, kept the beer cool. And real sawdust on the floor. Great for soaking up chunks of vomit.
I'd imagine. Ahem.
