Nowhere near as seedy as it was or should be, just as hip as ever just cleaner.
 
Its a 20 minute walk and can be a fascinating one if the right route is taken, via British Museum and Denmark Street.
 
The pubs near to Russell Square are pretty grim and quiet at the weekends, and avoid horrid Covent Garden and Leicester Sq at
all costs!

Look forward to seeing you over that weekend Bonesy. I am there from Saturday through to the bitter end. Mini meets and bar chats need to be an essential part of this meet!

Likewise Trev.  It's going to be one great meet.

I lived in the London for 5 1/2 years - if anyone needs any advice of places to visit, restaurants to eat at, things to do, outside of the meet - send me a PM (or I can post suggestions here too)! I'm sure some of the London based Head-Fi members can chime in as well but there's A LOT to do in London and if you're going to the show and haven't been to London I would highly suggest staying for an extra week or so! I have missed it nearly every day since I moved back to San Francisco...

I lived in London for 8 years, I already contacted Jude for few times, The Third Eye, AnakChan, to work as a volunteer for the CanJam London 2015 but without a replay.
I feel very disappointed.

2016 0.0 That's like a year too early. No wonder they don't reply. (Just kidding, of course this is probably just a typo).
 
Anyways just be patient and wait for their reply. They probably are just not around the forums lately. I think Third Eye (Ethan) is the one mainly handling that matter.

We're all in San Francisco this weekend at an event and will be in touch when we return.

...But, you didn't contact me

However, as you've already registered your interest, and it has been noted in the post above mine, all is good

Hey Duncan.  Are there plans to have a members room at this one, or is it MOTs only?

Hi...

I will know more about that on 11 May, as I and a couple of the other organisers are going to the venue to work out floor space / floor plans etc.

Will know more then...

Sorry I cannot be more decisive now

Hi Duncan
Further to our private exchange of PMs,the sociability thing seems to be for some, a major part of these 'meets' .
I can 'jolly' as hard as most but for me a main reason for attending these events is to listen to equipment that I'm not able to do otherwise(and do A/B test if possible).
For that,I don't need to talk to anyone.
Surely there must be facilities to accommodate both the 'talkers' and the 'listeners'.
I respect others right to talk,I hope mine(and others) right to listen is appreciated??

Ok cheers for the feedback. I appreciate there are always space concerns, but I do hope CanJam wont be a purely commercial affair. This type of event (and indeed much of the high end commercial headphone "scene") was built from the gathering of community members and losing that vibe completely would I feel be a move in the wrong direction. Just my 2p.

I look forward to seeing you there Musicday; I believe we met in London when you had your Tera and your Porta Pros

Not trying to be controversial here but how come there is a charge for this event? I have been to two previous Headfi meets at this venue. Both were outstanding. Lots to see. Free lunch!! The last one even had a musician playing. All for a small voluntary donation to charity.
I presume both of these events were sponsored by manufacturers attending.
Where is the entrance money going?
As I said. Please don't take this as my being unpleasant I am sure it will be a great event and well worth the price of admission.
BTW. Is it necessary to buy tickets in advance? My work pattern is very unpredictable.

 

[smial1966]

Not wishing to be too simplistic and please correct me if I have misconstrued the intent of London CanJam. But the two previous London Head-Fi events were non-profit meets organised by a committed member who arranged everything for our community just because he could. As we all love a Head-Fi Meet and the opportunity to gather and socialise.

London CanJam is undoubtedly more commercialised and arguably less member centric. BUT and it's a big but, is this necessarily a bad thing? Assuming that the organisational team attract first class manufacturers and retailers to London, with their high-end and esoteric equipment, then who is to say that paying a few pounds isn't worth auditioning the best head gear in the world?!?

I do hope that London CanJam will in some small way give to charity, perhaps via a prize raffle? As you guys have the clout to make this event very special in so many ways.

Remove "London", lookup the history of CanJam and therein lies the answer. No different to any other commercial audio show
