Attending a London Furs meet is an experience every furry should get to have.

For once in my life I feel like I have found a group of people I would love nothing more but to surround myself with and be apart of for an extended period of my life. The London furs are paws down the most lively and friendly group of furs I have ever had the honor of meeting.

There are far too many of you to name, but I am going to do my best to update the bottom of this journal over the next few weeks as I go through my little blue book, my phone, and chatting with the friends I have made so I can get you all in here! I have lots of pictures from the meet to add to an album - I would love to put the faces to all the names! :)

The Travel
Me and Bunnyrah woke up early the day before the meet and got onto a Coach bus from Newport Wales, to London (about a three hour journey). We were then morphed into tourists and began seeing the sights. Bunny took me right to the changing of the guard where we experienced tourists with tablets.. He then took me all throughout the city until sightseeing turned into fish and chips and a pint of beer in a pub. Later that night we took a late evening stroll to see the city in the dark and crossed a few bridges.

The meet.
The London Furs do things a bit differently than any furmeet I have experienced. They organize a tri-weekly meetup of furries from London and the surrounding area. Some traveling from hours away just to be apart of it. The meet is located right in the center of London’s business district in a popular wine bar. On Sundays the district’s popular bar is void of people in traditional suits and is replaced by furries in their fluffy suits. Furs spend the whole afternoon bouncing around and getting photos in and out of suit with friends, some having drinks while others enjoy the moment. Everywhere you look there are groups of furs around that you can prance right up to and introduce yourself to. If you want to experience fursuits, and a “small convention” feel. This is the perfect furmeet for you. The meet then settles down around dinner time, where all the furry groups split up and head off to pubs, and arcades to have more drinks, food, or both!

The Pub Experience
After the furmeet me and Bunny tagged along with a group headed over to the (names later) pub, where the drinks were cheaper and the food was yummy! This is where I met a lively and hilarious group of furs that had me chatting, laughing and smiling throughout the evening. These furs will forever be in my heart and I can not wait for the next moment we will meet. Hopefully I will get the chance to make another London meet in the next year or two. Or some of them will come to Anthrocon! :3

Now that I look back, this little furmeet was vital for the trip I was about to take. It is where I made friends with a few friendly faces I would be seeing over in Berlin at Eurofurence. (The next journal!) It was nice making a few friends - I just wish I could have taken them all with me to EF, or home!
