My london weekender.. Any tips?

Post by Timbob »

Hello!


As you might know, i'm a bit of a fan of a band called Orbital.
Now, I'm going to see them in brixton at the 25th.
And i need plans and stuff to do that weekend, as i plan to go home again on sunday.
It's probably going to be a bustrip, so jippy.

What i need is:
A place to sleep. (cheap, if possible)
Some fun stuff to do on the saturday and sunday.

Parties, Museum (or design stuff), cool stores to see, that kind of stuff.

Also:
Does anybody know of an afterparty or summit after the concert?

Any input would be nice :)

We'll be going on somewhere after I reckon, not sure where yet tho.

I'd look for a cheap hotel on line if I were you.

Well, I'm probably not going to this (as wouldn't be able to get back home!), but there's a Phil Hartnoll DJ set at Brixton Jamm after the Friday gig?

ah
well.. i just ordered my tickets and I'll be arriving Thursday at about 19:45 and leaving Saturday at 22:00
So, I've only got the thursdaynight and fridaynight for partystuff. Altho the bus trip (yes, bus) takes 9 hours, so i'm not sure how fresh I am that first night.

that fridaynight afterparty thing sounds like a solid plan tho.
