London Posted on: 29.04.2013 by Dorie Scelzo I'm visiting a friend who's studying at LSE from Saturday the 4th to Sunday the 12th. On the 4th, we're going to see Mr. C at something called "Paramount, Center Pointe". Apparently it's in zone 1. Anyone happen to be going? I know we're taking a trip to Cardiff to see the Dr. Who exhibit as well as one to Bath. Picadilly Circus and Mayfair are on the docket as well as the Millennium bridge and other big landmarks. I believe we're staying in a hostel (zone 2) for part of it and an airbnb flat (zone 1, I believe) after my girlfiend joins us. Any other suggestions, even down to favorite bars? Among other things, I'm looking forward to my first pint of Fuller's ESB from a cask....as well as everything else the city has to offer.

I would ring/email in advance and find out because, as I say it really is completely unpredictable in the UK. Damn. I'm not sure I own pants that fit except for suit pants and my tux pants. Looks like I need to run to target before we leave. Shoes are fine. I don't want to bring more than one pair of shoes, but my black shoes are comfortable enough. Thanks for the warning.

I always ring ahead and confirm if im out of town. Dead right about the feet mate. I have a pair of Etnies+, the are shoes in any way you slice it but bouncers believe they are trainers because they are navy blue. They cost quite a bit as well.

Lilliana Perris 02.05.2013	Originally Posted by backtothefront Funnily enough we did visit Spier, which was v nice, also a couple of other vineyards in Stellenbosch, but can't recall off the top of my head. Beautiful part of the world. Also visited a vineyard in Franschoek, but again can't remember the name. I must add it wasn't all wine for 3 weeks either Bah...you a local then mate! I went to school in Stellies.

We go Root 44 (Mooibergen) on Sundays. Food and Wine market! You should come again mate!

Dorie Scelzo 05.05.2013	So. That was a good evening . Music was...well, Mr. C. The opener was pretty damn good too. Drinks were more expensive than I expected: I forgot the UK does 50ml pours. I'm used to "2 ounce plus a dash for good measure" pours. Also jeans & a t-shirt would have worked. They must have relaxed the dress code for the evening . Also, when did it become okay for girls to wear jeans shorts to a club?

Kristofer Krauel 02.05.2013	Its a massive grey area. I always thought smart casual was smart jeans (no tears or weird patterns), shoes and a shirt. For some reason I always thought the "smart" part was to do with whats on your feet and also meaning your top must have a collar.

nayit ruiz jaramillo 01.05.2013	Originally Posted by Nicky H Nobody seems to have mentioned most UK folk don't visit London cos 90% is a shithole. If you want a evening you'll remember try this on Sunday: http://www.eaglelondon.com/lineup/horsemeatdisco.php Seen Horse Meat Disco many times. Brilliant guys. I've seen them play amazing sets and I've seen them so absolutely bongoed that they can barely see the records and they still play amazing sets. The mixing is sometimes questionable to say the least but I could care less about that when I see a couple of guys having a ball playing amazing tune after amazing tune.
Annalisa Shogren 01.05.2013	I'd go to London more if the tube was 24 hours. Getting from one side to the other in a taxi is BARE BARS.

Wilma Treaster 01.05.2013	Originally Posted by mostapha How expensive are we talking? In Atlanta, the big venues tend to have beers around $8 and cocktails around $12 (~5-8 quid). I believe Miami was more and we still made that work a few times. I asked my friends who are still working in the Building. Average Cocktail is between
Dorie Scelzo 01.05.2013	Originally Posted by Fraghaggis Paramount is a venue on the top floors of the Centre Point Building in Central London. I used to work in the Centre Point Building and we had several Corporate Events there. The views are incredible esp. at evening (see my Photo below) Attachment 17277 Be prepared for expensive drinks though - Paramount is not the cheapest place. Frag. Out. Dude, that's gorgeous. I can't wait. Apparently it's something of a release party for the new superfreq album (on beatport, amazon, itunes, etc.). How expensive are we talking?
