^ Has pretty good listings if you're into the big house clubs. Can't recommend any personally - I'm more into US/Euro Techno myself. Have fun in London

Sadly I don't know any good curry houses in London by name. But I'm sure there are plenty of good ones - you can get anything in London.

Hey there Duedel,

Thought you Germans liked David Hasselhoff!;)

I'm from/in London but unfortunately I'm not up to date with all the clubs, plus techno isn't exactly my thang man. I could ask around though, I've nieces who would know.

There are some great pubs in Soho and the West End if you want to mix it up with the beautiful people (plus a few ugly ones) and that's where the clubs/theatres/restaurants are.

Camden is pretty lively, there are some good pubs with live music, good food etc. Covent Garden also has a good choice.

Let me know where your staying in London and I'll be able to narrow it down a bit, plus if your lucky I'll take you out for a pint or two.

just remembered, walked past a curry house today with a sign saying 'Spice - the final frontier'. Made me chuckle

hehe thnx Trikky.
I'm not sure where we'll stay. Have to ask my buddy about the place.
We are in London for a concert (ABC, Heaven 17, Howard Jones, Kim Wilde ...) at the Wembley Hall and we'll stay for about 3 days.

We got a Chinese take-away in Oakham called "Wok This Way"

Too bad you won't be there in November for the "Bare your bum at Bush" festivities

...that is if the Secret Service doesn't create a 3 mile No Protest buffer zone.

whoa that's like a flashback to 1985, how horrible! Wasn't Kim Wilde the chick who sang "We're the Kids in America"?

Duedel · « **Reply #23 on:** September 26, 2003, 10:09:32 PM »

LOL Yep m8

... but I'm there for ABC and Heaven 17 (my favorite group).

"Let me gooooooooooooooo..."

Kim Wilde has a gardening section in one of the Saturday magazines now, life is a funny old game eh?

Get on the tube, go to Soho, how much do you want to spend and how much fun do you want to have and over what period of time?

I would be at the local anti war protest but I promised some friends I'd go with them and hit golf balls at David Blaine this afternoon.

Hehe, Tower Bridge parapet seems to be the place to tee off from if you've the balance. If you slice it you may hit HMS Belfast though.

I've had oysters only twice - the first time was in New Orleans! - served with a cracker (saltine) and tabasco sauce. Bloody revolting, actually.

I'm less than 1 hour from London, Duedel. Can help you find some good pubs/curry places. I personally like the Globe and the Marquess of Anglesey - both in Bow Street side by side. The Covent Garden/WC2 area of London is so much nicer than Piccadilly Circus/Tottenham Court Road. I know WC2 quite well - worked there in 1987 - had a fantastic time.
