I thought you'd say that Agreed, though. Japan centre, anyone?Originally Posted by nobby
Wetherspoons on Baker Street were charging £3.10 for a Carlsberg and £3.30 for Stella, so yeah, London isn't cheap. Cocktails in our newly found cocktail bar were £8 each, but worth every pennyOriginally Posted by Dribble Joy
DJ, it sounds like you know London well, so you should plan our drinking route if we go there. My last visit to London involved lots of walking between bars, only to find they were closing / weren't serving food etc.

That's not too bad actually, the pub I work in charges that much after 11. Is a lot for a spoons though, it will probably be cheaper in one that's not in a tourist area.Originally Posted by Hoder
I know parts of London, mostly around Kings Cross/St Panc. Plus a few places on Tonenham Ct. Rd. and New Oxford Street.DJ, it sounds like you know London well, so you should plan our drinking route if we go there.

It's been a while though, if a couple of us want to go down the day before to recce a few area and jog my memory, that might be useful.
You could just go buy a map from one of the tourist offices or google one of the many websites that tell you how good certain cities are to go drinking in.
If its in london I might come down to this one. I can get limited cheap hotel accommodation at the Union Jack club, Roz if you're up for it?
OK NOOBS LET ME GIVE YOU A TOUR OF LONDON.
Depending on what you want and where in London you want to go will depend on how much you want to spend. If central London isn’t important then there some great places around Brick Lane although they aren’t exactly posh, they are VERY lively with security at either end of a street, bars in the middle and people partying and drinking in the street. Other non central locations include Angel, they have a few spoons which aren’t too badly priced and when that shuts you have quite a few other bars and pubs still open after 11. If you want central and cheap then places Moose Bar (bond street station on the corner of Selfridges) do a fantastic happy hour between 5-9 : -
Cocktails 3.90 (excluding Champagne)
Draught Becks 2.75
Corona/San Miguel 2.75
House WIne Glass-2.90 Bottle-9.75
Spirit & Mixer 2.90
Tequila Shots 2.90
NOTE: The price has gone up, it was £2.75 for cocktails. DAMN THE CREDIT CRUNCH !
I was in Met Bar (the weatherspoons on baker street) the other day and a Fosters was about £3.00 but to be honest I’m used to paying around that much in London, anything cheaper is a bonus.
I do honestly recommend somewhere close to central to avoid disappointment with bars shutting seen as most of the central bars are open till about 2-3am. Most places stop serving food at around 11 anyway but if you are slightly outside central like the places mentioned above then I guarantee you there will be a chicken shop every 5 minutes !
I tell you what is cheap, that’s Nags head Algate east, £1 FRIGGININ PER LAP DANCE!
PEACE OUT !

Ok, so who's volunteering to organise this little shindig then? All we need is a contact and where to meet initially, then people can start booking rooms etc.
Anyone?

C'mon guys, there must be someone out there who wants to organise us getting drunk in our fair capital. We've had a few meets now 'up north' so it's time to head south.
At this rate we'll end up in Nottingham. Again.

Less Drinking.
More Patching.

All of the beers you mentioned are terrible.Originally Posted by Dont Mess
Well if Mess is coming, he seems the best person for the job or at least the guide. StevenJ and/or Brams have done it in the past so they know what they are doing.
I cannot make the last weekend in September, as I am off to be a geek in Brum to look at toy soldiers and enter painting competitions.
Its a bench mark, the prices dont differ much from that. Let me guess u drink that pissy 2% coors shit..typical yank !Originally Posted by Kanedax
I'm not sure if i can make it but i can organise it for you and maybe make a short apperance. What is the age range of the atendees? I know hoder is like 67 and DJ is like 27 but looks like santa.
I suggest you look around for places to crash first, find out what the best prices are and then plan the event around that. I dont know what living prices were like up north but in london your looking at an average of £80 a night. As long as your not all the way in west london or south london, picking a place to drink will not be hard.

Getting a Travel lodge Family room for 3 people will make it end up costing less than 20 quid each in London, which is great.
