⏳ Meeting point before the Parade

We will meet in the big field just next to the entrance of Regent’s Park, as indicated on the map below.

Meeting time: 12:00PM - we will get ready, paint our faces, have a drink and listen to some music.

We need to be ready to join the Parade by 2:05PM - any late comers won’t be able to attend. Our group will be composed of 100 people, including non-Monzo guests. It will be difficult to organise and manage this large group so please help us as much as possible.

βŒ› Meeting point after the Parade

The Parade ends on Whitehall Place, just after Trafalgar Square. We are likely to reach this point around 4PM.
Our meeting point is at the Tattershall Castle, the boat pub by Embankment. We have reserved an area for Monzo where we can relax and enjoy a drink before setting off.
Anyone from Monzo or friends can join us at that point, even if they didn’t attend the Parade.
