We invite you to join us for a private guided evening tour of Windsor Castle on Thursday 10 October 2024.  Amble in awe through magnificent royal rooms with our expert guide.

Be sure to arrive no later than 17:45 for this timed-entry tour which is exclusive to our group.

Ceremonial Rooms: the main State Apartments used by the Royal Family. Here HM King Charles III hosts investitures and official visits by Heads of State.

Jesus Curry Recusants (JCR) – 2nd July 2024

It was pleasing to see so many new (and old) faces last night, 16th April.  I hope the Camino from El Vino to Indian City was not too arduous for you.

The next date is 2nd July 2024

5.30pm El Vino, Fleet Street

7.00pm Indian City, 4 New Bridge St, Blackfriars, EC4V 6AA

Good wine and food, and excellent company, guaranteed

Polite reminder:

 a) It is not a requirement to attend both events. It is perfectly fine if you wish to join us just for drinks at El Vino or just for the meal at Indian City (4 New Bridge St, Blackfriars, EC4V 6AA)

b) If you are intending to  join us for drinks only, or for the meal only, or for both drinks and meal, then it would be extremely helpful if you would let me know so that everyone can be accommodated. Payment in cash please.

A formal invitation will be sent out closer to the date
