london gig

[Semmelnknödöln]

Looking forward to this! I'll be joined by my siblings for the gig... any suggestions for POST-gig amusements in the area... good beer and music, in particular opened past midnight?

Tapping the admiral is 5 mins from Kentish town tube & is the CAMRA north London pub of the year.
The Pineapple is also a great boozer but rather small does Thai food..
Southampton arms is also a great pub but even smaller!!

Its defo gone back to the "the devonshire" i frequent most weeks and has  a good vibe again similar to when janine and robin the old uber goths run it,  they play alot of metal there now and alot of the local biker gangs still hang out there, im going there before nma for sure but 2000 people can make there choices, the hawley arms is good too if not a bit trendy and kentish town has lots of good but slightly bland pubs, the assembly is prob the best and closest if you dont fancy exploring the area.

Yep it's definitely the dev! Have been there a good few times myself. Terrible vodka but great atmosphere.

 If you like to do aftershows Most pubs in camden are open untill 1am and the dublin castle on the parkway untill 2.30am, fuzz the old guitarist from silverfish( london female fronted 90's grunge legends) does a djay set most sats, he plays a nice eclectic mix but it is all good and mostly alternative and heavy, otherwise the slimelight is still going strong 35 years later if you can still take clubbing(and drugs!), its in angel and open all night!

Sensible: Assembly Rooms other side of road. Or Bull and Gate.
 I'd go with Assembly Rooms...

Don't be mucking about with "oooh but there was a pub in Camden back in the day..." etc. It never works out.

See you all in: the Assembly Rooms, or outside havin' a smoke!

 

Notts: It's usuall the Tap n Tumbler on Wollaton Street.

Anyone wanna reinvent the wheel? xxx

My vote is for ann early beer or three in the Bree Louise in Euston (top top pub if you like real ale / cider + it does decent pub food) and it has TVs for Danny if you want to see your mob lose another game. Its a 20 minute walk (or 2-3 Tube stops)  from there to Kentish Town so would suggest that a migration to the more local pubs occurs an hour or so before the gig.

I shall definitely be in the Bree Louise at some point as i'm stopping very close by,not a huge pub but a great pub,i would imagine I shall pop in the Euston flyer also...

As I've posted in the other thread (the one titled Forum gig) - Attention non-London (as well as London) people: there is NO Northern Line this Saturday, due to the usual perfect timing by TFL in the choice of which lines to shut down.

As a result, to get to the Forum you need to take a train to Kentish Town rail station (next to the tube station, so by far the nearest to the venue) from St. Pancras International (there should be plenty but check times) or the Overground line (orange on the maps) to Kentish Town West (slightly further away); you can get this from Highbury & Islington, on the Victoria (light blue) line.
Those of you who were thinking of going to Camden first can do so by getting off at Camden Road, one stop before Kentish Town West on the Overground Line. Those (most likely including me) who want to start in the Bree Louise may also want to bear this in mind, cos it won't be possible to take the tube up so it might be necessary to leave the pub in good time to walk/bus it up to Kentish Town.

See you all Sat

Another travel option for those who were planning on using the tube is to get the Piccadilly line to Caledonian Road, and walk from there. Should be about 20-25 mins walk.

What's the consensus then? Pub opposite the Forum? (Assembly Rooms was it?? )
Not sure on eta but it won't be all day drinkin sadly, From Newcastle to Darlo, then Nottingham and onto London........ Mi Julie will be puttin some miles on the clock on Saturday! Bless!

Personally, I would say definitely the Assembly House (or Rooms? I never remember how it's actually called) from 7ish to when we go in... before that I don't know; I understand a few people are gonna be in the Bree Louise in Euston - for me it's probably subordinated to whether there is a telly to watch the footy or not. I was planning on having a chat with people tomorrow night in Brighton and see. What time you planning on getting down for? I'm sure somebody can text you and let you know where we are, depending on that.

[Stoney]

Hopefully will be in situ by 5 30/6pm........ But Traffic + London + Weekend is a wide n varied equation.....
I'll get Cahill to text me co-ordinates! lmao 

[jez pike]

Its Assembly House 292 Kentish town road,NW5 2TG,according to my "Guide to real ale in Camden and Euston"......and is described as"the interior being exceptionally large,food all day weekends",see you Saturday.

[Danny]

Yep, Assembly House it is, and like I said I'll probably get there 7ish. Before then - subject to chatting to people tonight - I'm thinking Quinns in Camden (on Kentish Town road but nearest stop would be Camden Road Overground/Camden Town tube).

Nothing against the Bree Louise but the fact there is no tube puts me off a bit - it's at least 25 min walk to Kentish Town from there (or you have to rely on the notoriously unreliable buses), which would eat into valuable drinking time Quinns on the other hand is less than 10 min walk from the venue (and consequently the Assembly House), it has a few real ales (and for those who like them, quite an impressive array of bottled European beers), and a TV for those of the football-inclined persuasion They might even do food, although I'm not too sure of this. They certainly do in the Assembly House, however.

See some of you later anyway, and we can discuss matters further
