I’ll be arriving at Euston around 12:45 I think. I’m not staying over, so my train back is 22:00 from Euston.

I’m looking forward to meeting you guys.

Im up for meating the early people though. Perhaps show matt round the toristy bits.

As for Soho – its crap, crowded, overpriced, and awful food. That’s why I’d avoid it. Unless you are looking for bars/nightclubs, then it makes sense.

That’s why I suggested Brick Lane – its pretty central, but good food, and if we move on its easy to move to good clubs/pubs (like the ones in Soho). Its not so much that I’m keen on Brick Lane as very against Soho – as for a meal its just a plain bad idea. Especially as Mark has to go before most of the decent places open in Soho (well.. 7pmish). Other than that your looking at the little tourist nibble places.

Mark – 19:20? Owch. No late nights for you ;)

I vote Soho. Greg seems keen on Bricklane. What does everyone else think?

Wow… you know nothing about London nightlife do you? ;)

Anywhere in the “city” means reeeeally easy access – both tube and bus – if you move a little west of the city you have Soho and the tourist trap hell of the west end. Further out west and north there are some nice places, but they have less acess and there are less of them. The city is used to 10,000 20-30something bankers/traders/etc decending on it when they are bored.

Anyhow, wherever ends up the final location I would recomend that it is within the Circle line, an ideally near the Central line. Getting to any of those lines is easy, and most people comming in from out of London will have no problem (Victoria, Paddington, Kings-Cross, and Liverpool St are all on the Circle, and the Central runs right through the Circle).

Mike – Cheap accomodation can be found in Earls Court, really cheap (£10 at a shitty hostel), if you don’t mind sharing. Really depends on your budget though, you can find a nice B&B closer into the center for less than £40, just google search for “London B&B” or similar.

I know next to nothing about London, so I have no recommendations for venue. Nor do I have any preferences.

As I am travelling from Manchester, I am looking to stay overnight if I can find somewhere cheap enough. Does anyone have any recommendations? Just a bed for the night, nothing fancy required.
