BaggerMcGuirk Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 If y'all are serious then we're down as well. Right now we got reservations for 2 on April 6(evening), but I'm sure we could just as easily do a larger thing. Figure I should socialize more.

beerwolf Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Did a great walking pub crawl (local boozers not tourist hubs) last year from Tufnell Park, into Kentish Town, then into the outskirts of Camden, then a short tube hop and finished at a few boozers in Hampstead Heath. Brilliant day out. Booze! Booze! Booze! I love it lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaggerMcGuirk Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 These are perfect. I'm still assembling a google map of potentials, so feel free to suggest more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubin Farr Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Bumping this since my wife and I am now visiting London for the first time in early April for a wedding. Wondering if anyone has any updated recommendations for record shops, stuff to see and food/drink. So far I've found that there's the I Love Acid 10 year party with Ceephax, and we maybe found a hotel. Anything especially cool happening April 5-10? I like Phonica Records in Soho. Some here complain it's too hip, but they have a nice selection of vinyls and CDs. There's a good sushi place next door as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kakapo Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Phonica is ok, but jesus fucking christ don't come all the way to London to go to yo! sushi. This is a half decent list, I can come up with specific recommendations if there is something in particular you're after: https://www.buzzfeed.com/emmacooke24/eat-off-the-beaten-track?utm_term=.bbNJQZAVQv#.wpRP3ewb3M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gonna drill down from here. I'm apparently supposed to try Indian food as well. If you've got a favorite(that isn't on that list), I'd love to hear it. Shame about the sushi place. We have some good ones in SF at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hello spiral Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 If you want decent and decently priced sushi that's near all those record shops in soho go to Kulu Kulu. There's one in Soho though I prefer the Covent Garden one, which is still 5-10min walk away. If you want really fucking GOOD sushi go to Bar Atari-Ya in Ealing Common or Sushi Say in Willesden Green. They both may be a little out of your way though. Coincidently, where Yo! Sushi was there's now some large Indian street food cafe type place iirc, which looks interesting.

tec Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Same, I don't really miss it either. Last time I was back I went to one of the hip new places around elephant and castle and paid 7 quid for a bit of burnt dough with garlic on top, ate it on a wooden park bench in a metal warehouse. You can tell I am the wrong side of 30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purlieu Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 Funnily enough, this place is making me miss living in London. Probably because I didn't make the most of it while I was there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rubin Farr Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Has anyone been in the London Dungeon since they moved it down by the Eye? Wanted to see the Amsterdam Dungeon also, but ran out of time and enthusiasm, maybe this year. Also, Udderbelly is a great place to chill and drink down by the river as well. Look for the giant inflatable upside down purple cow that resembles Battersea Power Station, lol http://www.udderbelly.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncrtx Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 I'm going to London this Thu-Sat, got any more recommendations? Here's what I like: * Book shops * Record stores * Art galleries/exhibitions * 'Odd' shops where they sell 'odd' things * Flea markets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soloman Tump Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 If you like whisky, this is a cool / quirky little shop https://www.whiskytastingroom.com Loads of other little / indie shops around that area too iirc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
