Guest Conor74 Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Heading over on the weekend of the 8th January. Anyone got a good hotel recommendation? Was told on another site that London hotels on the pricey side and not necessarilt that good, so best to stick to the standards like Premier Inn or Best Western. And best club? Again, general reaction seems to be Fabric. What's best for house or deep house? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Coalbucket PI Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 Don't know anything about hotels, Plastic People is a good club to look out for but their website is a bit shit so I don't know if there is anything going on that weekend.

Soloman Tump Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 cable have had some decent nights on recently, check them out. Saturday at fabric usually has deep house in room 3, but check the lineups as they do vary a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhonny Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 yeah check the fabric line-up. what kind of hotel budget you after? you can't go wrong with premier inns really, but I know a couple of good budget ones if you want cheap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCM Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 go to an acid night at corsica studios in elephant & castle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soloman Tump Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 that was going to be my other suggestion, but the corsica website isnt always updated and currently shows nothing on.. cracking venue though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest hydrozone Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 I would not recommend Fabric at all if you're looking for deep house nights, everytime I went to see house/deep-house DJs they end up playing harder stuff (even in room 3) and I left disappointed + it's expensive, the queue is massive, it's often too packed. Coalbucket PI is right, Plastic People is cool. Try XOYO as well. Sometimes, they have really good nights at the Basement (CAMP) in Old street too. Check also Village Underground, they sometimes have good parties there too. The Hoxton hotel it great, rooms are excellent, the restaurant is very good too and it's quite popular for pre-parties drinks as well. Also they have £1 room offers regularly (check their website for T&Cs) There are also cheaper options, such as Travelodge, allover London. Maybe check the expedia website and see what offers they have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCM Posted December 13, 2010 Share Posted December 13, 2010 also, ginglik in shepherd's bush has some good nights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Conor74 Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Thanks for pointers on clubs. As for hotels, guess budget is £100 or so a night anyway. Tried the Hoxton, but it is booked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenton Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 If the Hoxton is booked out try https://www.malmaison.com? That's a notoriously dead weekend in London but check as dontstayin.com http://www.datatransmission.co.uk/ and etc/ see whats on at Corsica/ Cable/ Eastern Electrics/ The Guardian Guide has a great clubbing guide on the week. Fuck Fabric. Don't go to any weekly, find summin special. √ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Conor74 Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 It would make things much easier for me if you would all go away and confer, and come back with one club and one hotel... But thanks for all the pointers. Gonna let the wife choose the hotel. But will let you know who she agrees with! Course that may also dictate the likeliest club to go to. Think I'm gonna draw a line through Fabric though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chelsea303 Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 And best club? Again, general reaction seems to be Fabric. What's best for house or deep house? For deep house.. I'd check out the 'Warm' nights at plastic people... also more recently at Corsica. Get some good deep stuff there, like... Move D, Mark E etc, etc, etc... pretty solid.

Guest Dirty Protest Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Reference to another thread, you could watch Stewart Lee then Jerry Sadowitz in the same venue straight after. http://www.leicestersquaretheatre.com/lqt/show/S1273143780/Stewart+Lee http://www.leicestersquaretheatre.com/lqt/show/S1259244921/Jerry+Sadowitz Edit: The Stewart Lee show is very funny, second half he comes across very warm, like Jasper Carrot or Dave Allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcock Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 fabric is redshape and ivan smagghe, so that could be an amazing shout. plus room 2 is closed, so it will be a less intimidating size to party in. fabric when full can be a bit intense. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOkSbiO_AoU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcock Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 the whole club scene kind of builds, peaks and fades in the 6 weeks surrounding christmas. everyone holds themselves back for the new years bender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Conor74 Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Ended up with some hotel in Aldgate. Was warned that it's a bit arsy/trendy around there. Not fond of clubs where business types stand around and compare mobile phones. Anything recommended? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest -Ad- Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I recommend the Alibi in Dalston for a club. No idea what is on that weekeend (a google search might throw something up), but I saw Remarc there a few months back and everyone went mental for the jungle. Was a good atmosphere and free to get in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
