London & the Netherlands, a fortnight of climate, capital, and what comes next

Attending Climate Action Week, opening doors for Airbridge in Europe, and quietly scouting where life might be based next.

For Nicole & Nick Lockwood. A working brief that holds the whole trip in one place: confirmed events, the people worth meeting, the Netherlands scouting leg, and the logistics as they firm up. Built for the iPad, the phone, and the desk.

The trip in one paragraph

Five days in London for Climate Action Week, chasing industrial decarbonisation, energy transition and nature repair, woven together with investor and partner meetings for Airbridge's European expansion and reconnections for your next chapter in Europe. Then a Netherlands leg from 28 June: a couple of meetings in The Hague, and the real quiet question underneath it all. Where might home be next?

Monday evening now overlaps. The Capital Mobilization Roundtable runs 17:00–21:30 at Bocca di Lupo in Soho, and Justin Adams sits right inside that window, 17:45–19:45 at the Phoenix Garden (a 10-minute walk away). You can't fully hold both: either give Justin a quick early hello before the roundtable settles, or send regrets to one. Thursday evening is still tight: Grounded finishes 18:30 at The Lavery and James Cameron starts 18:30 at the Royal Institution, so that pair is back-to-back across town. Helen Crowley flexes into the Thursday afternoon gap. Wednesday (Systemiq) sits clean. No daytime clashes.

A couple of meetings in The Hague, and the quiet question of home.
The real question of this leg
Arrive late Sun 28 June · meetings in The Hague

Scouting where life might be based end of this year, early next, while you meet the people who matter for your European chapter. Slow mornings, sharp meetings, honest gut-checks about each place.

For the wander · from the tips you were sent
Which of these are close depends on where you base yourselves: Delft and Leiden sit minutes from The Hague, Zaanse Schans and Utrecht are easy from Amsterdam, Kinderdijk pairs with Rotterdam, and Friesland (rent a small boat in Langweer, reach an island if there's time) is its own little expedition north.

Airbridge business in Paris while you're both already on this side of the world? The case rather makes itself, Nick.

2h16 by Eurostar: St Pancras to Gare du Nord, faster than the drive to Margaret River. Say the word and this page fills itself: meetings, the hop over, and a top-sites list for the hours in between.

Hops to book while there
London → Netherlands · Sun 28 June · recommended: Eurostar direct
Direct trains run roughly 06:15 to 19:30 from St Pancras, about 4h, stopping at Rotterdam. Aim for the late-morning or early-afternoon departure to land "late arvo" exactly as planned. From about £50pp booked early. Or KLM/BA, Heathrow → Schiphol, roughly hourly, 1h20 in the air.
Book ↗
Netherlands → London · Thu 2 July
Eurostar from Amsterdam Centraal roughly 07:45 to 17:45; the mid-afternoon train lands St Pancras early evening. Or KLM/BA into Heathrow through the evening. Travel Thursday and keep Friday morning clean for QF10 at 11:55.
Book ↗
Worth knowing: Eurostar runs London → Amsterdam direct in about 4 hours, city centre to city centre, often kinder than flying. Paris is 2h16 the same way.
