London...next week

Hi all,

So im going to visit london next week. Im going to watch chelsea at stamford bridge but i m staying there 5 days so i need some tips on where to go.

I already googled most of the attractions that london offers and places to visit them. I was wondering if i can get some tips what can i do on a saturday night or a sunday night. Are there are any places that are nicer at night?

I am going to be situated in a "hotel" (more like a no star hotel, chepeast i could find) 2 min away from victoria station.

Visiting places till now:
- Madam Tussauds
- Lonon Eye
- Buckingham Palace
- Big Ben
- Chelsea Staduim
- Emirates (Arsenal Stadium)
- River Thames
- Oxford street

Any suggestions on places to visit especially at night are welcomed :)
(i am not looking for partying, but places to party near the victoria station are more than welcome as well)

will be there in 5 weeks :<
clubs!!!! party!!!!!!!!!!!!
hf there

if u like music, there r a lot of vinylshops, very nice :D
Leicester Square, Covent Garden and Camden are decent places to see, even if you're not into the nightlife stuff (which they're good for). Not massively close to Victoria though, although the tube and bus connections mean you can get back easily enough from any of them.

The best things near Victoria I can think of are the museums in Albertopolis (Science Museum, Natural History Museum, V&A Museum) and Hyde Park (I normally pop into the Serpentine Gallery whenever I'm in the park, but that's only a good idea if you're a modern art fan).

On the subject of art, if you're interested then the National Gallery (Trafalgar Square) and the Tate Modern (on the South Bank) are both great places to go.
best thing you can do in london is visit adacore.

Unfortunately I don't live there anymore - you'd be much better off visiting Pansy.
Parent
dont make me stick you in the back of Pottys car with awful loud music again :D
Parent
Hey - that was fun! I told you it reminded me of sitting on the speakers at the QuakeCon finals controlling the left big screen! :D
Parent
hahahaha :D i34 it will be the same >:D dont worry, i expect more raving from you tho.

but really
KOKO club or just go around camden always a good giggle
Parent
You still bored at work, or home now? :>

I'm waiting for my boss to come out of a videoconference so I can check some stuff with him, so if that overruns I might be a bit late tonight :p

And yeah - koko rocks. Really need to go there more often - haven't been in a couple of years :x
Parent
really good laugh :D , got home at lunch worked out during my morning that my phone has msn on it , much fun was had.
Parent
LONDON IS WIN
Parent
Foonr in any city is instant win... London is "ok" =D nah had great fun being there though you need to be well rich to go out lol
Parent
hahaha it can be really pricey in some places, student bars are horrid at times, beer taistes like water and costs around 5 pounds. :(
Parent
I went to the electric birdcage (?) and a drink there cost around like 12 pounds =[ Try buying a round of drinks there lol. Me es and foonr went to a subway too and I just wanted cheese on it and I had to pay like double the amount foonr had to pay just because I had a double layer of cheese on it...
Parent
it wasnt even hot. fuckers :(
Parent
"ye we cant warm it we need a license to do that after 12" "but you're a subway, thats what you do" "no I really cant".
Parent
awh! mega rip off :( apparently i fail at choosing bars too , so i cant talk much :D i vote buy lots of cheap ass whisky two liter bottles of coke and enjoy the night :D
Parent
True =D but round of shots is always fun!
Parent
You fail at choosing good student bars?
Parent
Trafalgar Square is just nice.. You don't have to like art, just like climbing lions tbh!
Parent
Yes i was planning to visit Tate Modern as well.

"Leicester Square, Covent Garden and Camden are decent places to see, even if you're not into the nightlife stuff (which they're good for). Not massively close to Victoria though, although the tube and bus connections mean you can get back easily enough from any of them."

Are these places great at night?

Thanks for the places you mentioned. i'll keep an eye on them as well.
Parent
Between the three of them (well, Leicester Sq and Covent Garden are practically the same place), they're the main centres of London nightlife.
Parent
10x alot :)
Parent
what are you talking about? victoria to leicester square is a 5 min walk :p
Parent
Meh, if you're drunk, maybe :p

I equate Victoria to 'South Ken' more than to 'Central London', when actually it's pretty much equidistant. Purely because loads of people at Imperial had flats there.
Parent
oh my bad. i was at charing cross. came from victoria :p
Parent
Take a girl with you and let her shop

I. GUARANTEE. YOU.

she'll find some awesome clothes... ~drools.

Edit: if you hate shopping, bummer :<
Very true, I have to admit. I always end up buying way more clothes than I was planning if I go shopping with a girl - they have this strange ability to just pull things off shelves that look good on me.
Parent
All mums have that ability! :XD
Parent
Myeah, but then again... My girlfriend came home with some nice skirts and dresses...

Yeah... London was so worth it.
Parent
Ive been there last week also, Tate Modern was kind boring, I went to a club called tigertiger, it was quited nce!
TigerTiger has good student nights on... err... Mondays I think? My sister always raves about them.
Parent
mhhh it was wednesday for me ;p
Parent
KOKO CLUB
China Town!
London is nuts tbh
The old Battleship, near the Bridge
Hmm

myb things are overpriced there. so watch your moneh (idk cant remember but 1x a cinema ticket was £14 or 2x one.. either = NUTS)

Tate modern is alright.. but the nuts that are sold outside are nicer.

im not rly sure. the list you have is mostly what we did.
have fun, and dont try fish`n`chips, i heard its horrible!
some of the parks can be nice. and the Bridges - but I guess youll be going over them :O)
