Last Friday, for the second year running, Brand/68 made their way up to London for their Christmas bash.

While the girls hit the shops, the boys took in a little bit of culture by visiting a pop-art exhibition at the Tate Modern.

We regrouped at Jamie Oliver's 'Fifteen' restaurant and sat down to some really good food in a great atmosphere, accompanied by numerous bottles of wine! www.fifteen.net

After a slightly hazy 4 hour lunch, we ended the night in a rather cool cocktail bar, tucked away just off New Bond Street. Definitely worth a visit. www.mewsofmayfair.com

All that remained was the mandatory run along the platform at Paddington to catch the last train home...

A memorable(ish) end to 2009! - Next year has a lot to live up to!
