I might just do that, tnx :t:
the Nationall Gallery sounds nice, also Plastic People is a must, FWD would be epic.

Old Vic Tunnels (mad industrial space under waterloo station) or the Arcola in Dalston are worth a look.

Tate Modern during the school summer holidays always has kids running around cause there parents took them there cause there tight and need to kill time before they go and watch We Will Rock You or some shit. Also It's hard to appreciate art when their dad who'd obviously rather be at home watching MoTD keeps going on about how shit he thinks everything is and that it's not real art.

Go to a smaller gallery like Stolen Space on Brick Lane. Don't buy any thing to eat in Covent Garden.

Edit: Stolen Space is also right next to the Old Truman Brewery.

There's a lot of contemporary art stuff on Brick Lane at one end, nearer Shoreditch. Just don't stay too long or you'll turn into Nathan Barley. The other end has a large Indian population and is a great place to eat.

thanks oli - finally something good - because honestly Old Vic Tunnels and arcola - i checked it out on the web - sounds a posh or something. just not real. i'm not looking for the mainstream.
every big city is supposed to have a good underground scene. music or any other art -wise.

so any other ideas? also musicwise. warehouseparties? some cellar-in-the-city-club that doesn't start at 7 and ends at 12. rather all nicht + after hour. any outdoor parties around london. can be a jurney worth. even if its a 2 hour jurney? can be techno too.

c'mon.
