i'm heading to london in a couple weeks for a six week study abroad. i'd like to find some cool local places to check out, some pubs and what not. i'd also like to check out some live music while i'm out there so if you know of any cool places for that or if there are any big tours going through let me know. i've never been overseas before so i'm pretty pumped about it and make the most of it.

Hey live there and am posting from sweet Elephant and Castle (that sucks).

But London is a large city, with many types. What I would recommend you to do, is first do all the tourist crap, and then do some more chilled things. Go into clubs. If you like dance, house, hard house, its the place to be. Also all other styles are findable. Here is my fav website: www.dontstayin.com
Sthing else to do is friday evening in the City, the business part of town. Go in a beer garden with friends, go drink a pint, it is really nice.
Also, in Hyde Park, you can go swim. I went this afternoon to take a dip. Water was dirty but who cares, did it :).
Watching the girls getting really pissed is fun.
Picadilly Circus on Saturday is cool, Lamborghinis, Ferraris, Porshes come and scratch out a little bit.

More and more and more.

PM me if interested.

Oh also forgot, life is horribly expensive. Get ready to get screwed, because it will kill you.

Cheers mate.

Okay, so there are "sweet" [ubs everywhere in London, the cities are nice in England, but Wales is... wild, like sheep and cattle everywhere ;), go clubbing (Ministry, Turnmills, Pacha, SeOne, Cross,...) and do drink good english beer that anyone above 15 can drink :)

picadilly circus has some good clubs.

check out ministry of sound, its like a 24/7 rave. its near the tower of london, in that district anyways.

camden area has the latest and dirtiest bars. lots of niggers calling themselves poor niggers.

go to hyde park and check out speakers corner. its by the marble arch. lots of crazies but fun to watch.

but ya picadilly circus is the best (read good but inexpensive) party area.
