London Calling... CarrieMpls and I (and 2 friends) are heading to London on Thursday! We actually land there the morning of June 20..
Our plans are to be in London on Friday (June 20), spend Saturday and Sunday (June 21 and 22) in Manchester, then back to London Monday and Tuesday (June 23 and 24) before heading off to Glastonbury... So, do any of you UK orgers have any tips for us? Any clubs we can't miss? Any hip museums? Any grubbing vegie-tarian restaraunts? In London we'll be sleeping in the Soho area, in Manchester we'll be about 5 blocks off Canal Street... any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated! PS..a special thanks to 1800NewHunk, Banancologne and Mindflux who have given us some great ideas already... Well...where should we go? What should we see? Who wants to meet us at the clubs?? ps..this also serves as official notice that CarrieMpls and Endo74 will be on org hiatus for about 12 days. | |

I think there's a good veggie fast food place called Red Star...they are dotted around the place...mostly vegan food i think...if your headed for a commercial clubs try Equinox, Hippodrome, Tiger (Bar), Sound, (all in Leiscster Square) and also Ministry of Sound (make sure it's not a student night or u will hate it) | |

U defo go to the Southbank (waterloo station on the tube) there u will find teh saatchi gallery-county hall, the london aquarium and the London eyeball. It is supposed to rain Saturday, but what the heck. Take a walk along the river as far as your little legs will carry u and u will find lots of more fun things-Tate Modern, Tower of London Greenwich etc.
Brick Lane has some cool bars (whitechapel station I think) 93 feet east and vibe bar usually get it going on and if u r in 2 funky house etc Ministry of sound has to be heard! (sat better night if u ask me!) nice tapas place on Eversholt street (mornington cresent tube) you could go there it is 2 secs away from Camden The Hottest chip of them all - www.hotchip.co.uk - Get down with Prince

You should definitely come to my house and see my collection of empty beer cans, I currently have 1,043,548 cans. :smuglook: If you're feeling realy generous you could bring me a couple of crates of beer (preferably full) to add to my collection, I might even share a couple with you. Some people are like Slinkies...
They're good for nothing but they still bring a smile to your face when you push them down the stairs. | |
