Going to London in a week - Need some advice

[LA_Boxers]

dont go to brixton, youll HAVE TO WATCH SKRILLEX

Fixd.

[LA_Boxers]

LOL@ people making a pilgrimage to Croydon likes its the Bronx or Brooklyn.

innit, croydons a fucking shithole, had the misfortune of having to go there last night

Its not that bad. Stay away from West Croydon area and you're ok. It could be worse, it could be Thornton Heath aka Tarn-tahn Eath, or Mitcham.

west croydon is where i was haha

In that case................I totally agree.lol.

Best to stay away from the major clubs, they'll ask for ID even if you look 40.
I'd try not shaving for a couple of weeks before you go

7-9 Crucifix Lane doesn't qualify as a major club, does it?
And good point stopping tomorrow then...

i wouldnt say its a major club, i did have to show ID there iirc but they seemed well lax about security in general, smoking zoots inside was no big deal at all (maybe that was more to do with the night i went though)

Nah defo not major. Like somebody said, its not a ''pulling club''. Those places are more strict on security.

lol Jacks is grim, last time i went in there was well weird. strannnnge night!

as for shooping the passport trick, i did that when i went to amsterdamn when i was 17, worked a treat in 50% of the places i went in.

i think i gave a lengthy description on here of my last visit there, man with a tv for a head, burlesque clown strippers, smoking a zoot inside a big grandfather clock

fucking strange night but well jokes

Seems like a good night out to be honest - don't get those in Denmark.

I didnt thinkJacks was that bad the time i went but it was strange. Bit like Planet Angel but more acidy

harder to do passports now they have the micro chip in them but i had one that worked really well, i cut the hologram off an old passport to make it even more realistic

[Pistonsbeneath]

Dont bother going to Croydon. Fuck all to see there

true though

[Forum]

Remember the first time i went to Prague when i was 17, their form of ID'ing us was to ask "are you over 18?" Didn't fail to get into a single place the whole time i was there and i must have looked about 14

there's literally nothing of any interest in croydon, i'd be pissed off if i had to pay for the train to get there. tram basically = free travel though!

[kay]

I had an American customer who decided to bring his family over for a holiday while he came over for a work trip. He told us that they were staying at a swanky hotel in central london for a few days that the company was paying for and then after that they would be spending the rest of the trip staying at a hotel in Croydon.

Whole room just went silent. Took me a few minutes before I managed to mumble out "Ummmm....WHAT?!??"

You clearly haven't been to Thai Corner or one of the other sketchy bars on Istedgade, mate!

Maybe I haven't been to the right places around Istedgade, but in my experience it's 95% he/she hookers trying to "score" you by being extremely annoying.

Last NYE me and a few mates had to physically remove a hooker's hand from another friend's nether regions. Bitch wouldn't let go

[Samuel_L_Damnson]

My nan lives near croydon. Its incredibly boring as has been said before. Some good graffitti though

[doonedave]

youre not gonna get in any clubs sorry

A'int too hard getting in without id, just don't act a dick/be nervous at the door. have to do it weekly. only been turned away from cable so far.

EDIT: also bok bok is playing at the rhythm factory, if you are into that kinda shit. rhythm factory bouncers don't give a shit about anything really.

[__________]

If I were you I'd take your passport anyway.
If you get ID'd, show them your passport. Bouncers are generally pretty stupid and can't work out how old you are from your birth date quick enough. I used this technique multiple times when I was 15-17 and it worked fine 80% of the time.

I've not had ID since I was about 18, and I've managed fine for 4 years by going to raves with my girlfriend who usually gets ID'd instead of me

If i get turned away on friday i'll try that on Fabric saturday
Bless for all of the comments, keep em rolling!

[muggle]

imo fabric will almost definitely id you mate, i've been asked every time i've been...you'll have more luck in a 'grimier' venue i reckon

also lulz to the croydon comments, lived there my whole life, it's like a bubble to me; people from outside think it's the most dire place on the planet but people who grew up there have a strange kind of affinity with it—moreso than a lot of other people to their hometowns in my experience

(sometimes i get emotional when my train pulls into west croydon (usually when drunk))
