Most likes (about London): Independent cinemas, DJs you want to see playing every weekend, the incredible selection of restaurants to choose from, dog spotting in parks
Least likes: People who leave bags of dog poo on the street. You've got this far - put it in the frickin' bin!

This band rocks! I am definitely going to their gig at the Troubadour next month

Came here for a comedy night downstairs - does amazing and very cheap thai food and the bar area becomes really lively when the DJ kicks in. Downsides were: the very slow and bored bar staff and the area downstairs was probably not the best venue for comedy - there was a total lack of organisation on seating but I imagine it would be quite cool for a small DJ/band night.

Coming here is like going back in time 40 years to a an old school hall in Preston decked out for a community disco. Old school drinks prices to match too. Came here once for Pitchcock and Bentshoe's comedy and bingo night which was hilarious, some old people who run the bingo nearly beat up Terry Saunders and Milton Jones for calling them cunts. No matter how old you are if you heckle - expect the worst.

One of the best small theatres in London!

Cool venue - the room is circular shaped and most seats face inwards towards a stage at one end. Friendly staff too.

Really passionate performer who balances story-telling and comedy with ease.

Great bar/club which is perfect if you feel intimidated by going to huge club venue like Fabric or just want an earlier bed time! It's now open till 4am, has a new sheltered smoking area and you can dance on the tables. They also get some amazing DJs playing there occasionally like James Zabiela.
