I thought I'd give London another try this weekend. After a 12 hour drinking session in Islington, Hoxton and Shoreditch my only conclusion is that I just don't get it.
What's the attraction ?
Every street looks like a run down area of Bradford.

I mean I went to all the supposedly "happening" bars and clubs, and all I saw were idiots with mullets spending their giro's on over priced beer.
those people u saw were everyone else who went to london to see what it was like...
Ha! Classic.. which bars did you go into? I know what you mean about that area although there are a few alright boozers around there..Quote:

You want to try going out in clapham - it's just as bad but in more of a "ohhh look at me, I live in clapham" sort of way rather than - "ohhh look at me, I work in hoxton" sort of way...
It's spreading as well - couldn't get into my local in balham yesterday 'cause it was full of three wheel pushchairs....
You sure you didn't just end up in Leeds? I went out (we should go for a pint at some stage too) to the Elbow Room, mullets and £2.70 for a pint up here.Quote:
