Hey, Monty and any other London types, it's my birthday next week.
Ladypig has suggested a couple of days in London. Can anyone suggest a hotel? Nothing too expensive, driving is no issue as we have the disabled stickers to park wherever and I don't mind paying congestion charge on a birthday jaunt. Also any awesome things to do mid week.

Fine things to do midweek include drinking until you shit yourself.

RE Hotel Shoreditch, it's next to my flat, woo!!!!!!!
As for things to do - fuck me, where to begin - other than with 'what are you into?'

Is it nice though?
Also, I imagine being in Shoreditch might mean I have to punch my way through crowds of people in vintage clothing

During the day nice summery outdoor nonsense,
Dinner and drinks in the evening. If you can find me a gig as well that would be nice.

i would go to a park with a lido
somewhere like brockwell park - bit out of the way but still zone 2 so an easy drive or overland train, really nice and far fewer fucking tourists pissing around

or walk all along the river from hammersmith to barnes, then sit in a nice pub and have a drink

richmond is awesome - has beautiful park as well as richmond hill, there is a little boat you get across the river, lovely old garden centre for wandering around (sounds gash but trust me it's stunning) and then you walk across a meadow to an italian ice cream shop and numerous old pubs

also beautiful hotels in richmond = cheaper than central london and still 20 mins on train
so basically, west london rocks

There's a cracking pub crawl along the river from Hammersmith out to the Fullers brewery
used to do it all the time when I was a postgrad. Sunny warm day? fuck the lab. Meet at Hammersmith station at 1pm, let's do it.
