Whereabouts do you live Monty?
I love London because I can go out where I live and it's fairly quiet and peaceful, yet a short hop across the river I'm in a busy bustling mad world.

The end.

P.S. Those beigels are to die for.

E2 (between Hackney Road and Broadway Market )

The Griffin (just off Great Eastern St) is my boozer.
It's a proper grubby old knackered-looking pub, where you might be treated to a free DJ set from the likes of Andy Weatherall. They have great music* and it's the least pretentious place in Shoreditch. The Royal Oak on Columbia Rd is also excellent (they have top food too). There are dozens more decent gig/club places but the amount of Shoreditch wankers around makes these places off limits for an old cunt such as me.

*that said last time I was in there someone played a reggae version of the Coronation St theme.

I might have to take a look in
I sometimes cycle Great Eastern on the way home. I have to admit I don't go out much in East of Old Street because of the Hoxton Heroes :/

I tend to roll out to the Hanbury Arms. Not too much personality but a cracking jukebox and beer.

*Googles* looks like a nice pub, do they do decent food?

It's pretty much
only pizza. But thin crust, traditional Roman style pizza. Great toppings too.

You've got Rape Park
I've got Hobo Park. Parks just don't seem nice round here.

Do you ever go to the Hermit's Cave?
Love that place.

Occasionally
More often than not I'm in the Funky Munky opposite. I have been drinking in The Tiger occasionally recently too.
