Good News Race Fans...
After a few phone calls and succinctly worded emails...
We have secured a guaranteed reservation at both the Famous 3 Kings (West Kensington tube) and JetLag (Warren St Tube)
Unfortunately Carlsburg and Rileys both said they do not take reservations for F1 races..
Here are the conformation email's I received today.
Hi Jon,
Thanks for your returning interest in our pub. We can certainly accommodate you for this. We will also do one better and give you our upstairs area free of charge I hope this helps.

Hi Jon,
Your group reservation is now confirmed. Please note that all guests must be eating and arrive 1 hour before the race. Late arrivals forfeit seating on a first come basis.
Best regards,
Scott@jetlag

Pros and Cons © BadVoice
+Jetlag has a humongous screen downstairs and blasting audio throughout the place.
+ it's the established venue for F1 viewing in London and we have space dedicated to us.
- Ya gotta get there 1 hr early and have purchased foodstuffs in or near your mouth at all times.
- SkySportsF1 will be shoving a microphone in or near your mouth between bites of said food.
+3 Famous Kings is offering us their upstairs room and 2 dedicated screens with loud audio.
+There are no minimums and no press to ask you how you feel about the glory of a British victory.
- Other screens showing football in the bar area downstairs.
- Food is less than spectacular ( at least it was in 2011 when I was last there )
Now it's up to us to decide which venue we would like to attend.
(Good luck with making a decision on THIS forum I hear you say... )
Also..We now need to confirm which of you internet tossers are ACTUALLY going to attend.
It is important that if you do say you are coming....YOU SHOW UP.
Jp
oh and PS.. One of you have to dress up like Miley Cyrus as both venues wanted me to bring a 'celebrity'
