Who lives in London?
« on: 14 August 2012, 23:46 »
'Living' in the east end of London for the next month or so, and I am thoroughly enjoying the bars which it has to offer.  :smiley:

I have only ventured as far as Embankment/Covent Gardens/Kentish town and a few other places...Can anyone recommend some good places to have a few beers?!  :smiley:

I can get ANYWHERE in London for free so please give me some good places to go visit for the day/evening!  :smiley:

Upper Street in Islington is nice
Shoreditch/Hoxton is good

Shoreditch and Hoxton are a winner if you're in the east. Although Soho has some good live music venues and restaurants too.

Shoreditch for some cool bars, brick lane for bagels  :evil: :evil:

Spitalfields market (on Sundays) is great too! Notting Hill is great if the weather is nice  :smiley:

For me covent garden is abit to touristy, never knew shorditch had any nightlife or titty bars even though I worked down there for a few months, so where is this stuff?

As I discovered the other week, do not go cable  :sick: :sick: :sick:

Heard good things about oxford and regent street for the more sophisticated birds.

Sophisticated birds eh...That isn't my game  :lipsrsealed: :grin: Plus I don't have the 100k in the bank to be able to get them to 'come back to my place'  :lipsrsealed:

Will try out these places before I go. I believe I have been to Brick lane before...Salted pork, mmmmmm  :cool:

sophisticated birds take you back to their place or can afford hotels  :wink:

My mates like going faversham, but we missed out on Leicester square this weekend as that was buzzing with the Olympics. Two mates went Leicester sq and ended up sleeping in a bush and me and my mates ended up south of the river in cable  :sick:
