that said...that pub mentioned, waxy somethin'...sounds good! and sure, i always forget the rest of the world isn't like NYC...it really IS the city that never sleeps, and bars are open until 4 here, they might close at 1am on sundays...but 10:30? :rolleyes: hahahaha. we'll work it out.

See for me that 'city that never sleeps' thing is false advertisement :mad:

I was SO annoyed when I was there that it's practically impossible to find a drink after 4am :( cos the city's 'asleep'

Surely there will be somewhere open later that isn't a club.

There MUST be

although maybe considering it's the night before the gig, we should all be tucked up in bed by midnight... keep a clear head for the early morning queuing to follow :cool:

hahahahahahahahahahahaha... yes of course I jest

C'mon Londoners... sort this out please

Surely there's a dodgy backpackers hostel bar open somewhere in central London for everyone to go to.

you'd imagine

Anyway, if that special rate on the travellodge is still around tomorrow, I'll be booking 2 nights (Sunday & Monday) in a triple room. So that's £52 altogether for 3 people for 2 nights

fuck all. I'll to give Jenny and Damien first pick to share (Jenny will save you the hassle of finding something) since I'm using their tickets and all

You guys could always go to Church

It's 12ish til about 3.30pm so you'll have been through the hangover before midnight

and I'm sure you would all enjoy the entertainment

I booked for the travelodge this morning, cheapest place I could find and it doesn't look to bad either.

Thats cool - but I'll have my friend Skelly with me so I'll have to have words with her and see what she's doing before I agree anything! if Damo sez no then the three of us can bunk up together... giggidy!!

Chime - that place looks great - nothing like some early afternoon tipples!

I stayed there last year and it was grand... although not as central as Dunk would have you believe

I think the nearest tube was about 15/20 mins walk UPHILL... and taxis were expensive to get anywhere. There were no pubs nearby either but theres an alright bar downstairs and if you sweet talk the guys on reception when you get back from the pub, they can be convinced to serve ya

Pippa, I heard lots about that place when I lived in London

never been there though. Is it the backpackers place is across the road or something? And the two kinda go hand in hand?

Cool

well I'll be booking tomorrow anyway, I've texted Damien and waiting for him to get back to me - I think he has a brother or something in London who he stayed with for Astoria. Maybe I should just book two rooms... I'm sure there'll be no problem filling them anyway with the amount of Irish going

. Have to find out what Barry's up to also... I presume he's bringing Steve?

It's more a place I heard a lot about ... but haven't been to either

Think it kinda did go hand in hand with somewhere but seem to remember someone mentioning Backpackers had closed so not sure.

Think it has a Kiwi/Aussie/Saffa connection as well.

danleri · February 2007

sorry lads, so where is everybody staying? Ibis or Travelodge? i'd like to book something myself but i still dunno...

Yip, I will do

just don't have enough money on me today to use my credit card voucher thingy

oh actually I DO :eek: I can book after lunch

Housing Jim · February 2007

Just something folk may want to bear in mind when booking these Travelodges:

they have a tendency to overbook their rooms and it's not uncommon for folk to turn up and be told they don't have a room......it was on Watchdog.

Hopefully that won't happen to anyone here though

we just didnt scout the area very well!!!

The Farringdon tube station is 500m DOWN the road.. i.e. the opposite of the way we walked

and there are 4 or 5 pubs on that street alone!!! i was in 2 of them in August last year!!

the huge plus is that Farringdon tube station has a direct link to Wembley Park station (no changes :eek: ) and so therefore its 'awesome'

That's great to hear

well scouted dunk

I finally get to use my voucher thing... let's see if this works

Heineken Helen · February 2007

Ok, just a quick question cos I'll be booking my flight today... I know there was a thread and I don't have time to find it... but which is best to fly into? For the Farringdon? Is it Stansted or Gatwick? I think they're both pretty much the same, no?

How about meeting at Waxy O'Connor?

http://www.waxyoconnors.co.uk/london/index.asp

It's very centrallylocated, BIG (numerous bars) and they've good craic (if I remember correctly...alcohol might have something to do with the fun)

Hey, i love that place!! I've been there a few times and every time they were playing at least a PJ song

!!!!
It's quite big....on different levels, with 3 bars and a big tree in the middle!!!
The location is also perfect....is an off-street in between Piccadilly and Leicester Sq.!!!
