pre-show get-togethers, and I'll forward the info on to them.

Well I am not that familiar with London but I can tell you what I know,
should be enough info to get you to either place.
The Queens Arms, is situated at 30 Queens Gate Mews South Kensington, it is
a mere 5 minutes walk from the RAH and apparently the RAH can be seen from
the pub, I cant give info about what tubes to catch but as long as you can
get to the RAH, finding this pub wont be a problem.
De Hems is situated at 11 Macclesfield Street, which is between Shaftsbury
Avenue and Gerrard Street. A tube needs to be taken to Piccadily Circus, as
you enter Shaftsbury Avenue, a street on the right where you see the Chinese
gate is close to where it is situated. The RAH is some four tube stops from
here.
De Hems is a traditional stop for Who fans at concerts in London, it serves
food as does Queens Arms, restaurants are all close by and hopefully at De
Hems a copy of Whos Next is still behind the bar, Queens Arms will be my
choice purely because it is closer to the venue and just a few minutes from
where I am staying that night, the choice is yours but I do think that if
the concert finishes early enough, most will make a post show meet in the
Queens Arms.
Hope this helps a bit
