Bears in London

by

The Bears are in London!
Well…not really.
They don’t get here until Friday, so you won’t really get a chance to see or meet them.

Loads of London venues have started to ‘Bear Down’ despite having no idea about the game.

It’s nice to see people get into the spirit of the games, and support either Raider Nation or the Bears.

We were sent these from a venue near London Bridge.
Good to see people getting into the spirit of it all!

London-To Do

by

October 23, 2012 – London, UK: SKYFALL London Premiere at Royal Albert Hall.

Welcome to London!
What do you have planned?
Some sight-seeing? Take in some West End musicals? Get absolutely smashed on pints in a pub?
Why not do it all?

Since you’re just arriving here, we have a few things that you might want to try.

London Cocktail Week
Do you love booze? Great-you came to the right country.

Hit a few locations and let the booze show you the way.

James Bond in Concert
If you haven’t been to Royal Albert Hall, you simply must!
This weekend (Oct 5 & 6th) the orchestra is getting the band back together to play along to a James Bond classic.
This weekend it’s Skyfall, and you can watch the movie all while the orchestra plays along.
Tickets might be tough-but there are loads of LEGITIMATE ticket touts around Covent Garden.

BFI Film Festival
Do you love movies?
Well the UK makes some of the best dang movies on the planet!
To celebrate the British Film Institute is hosting its annual film festival across the city this weekend.
Get some tickets, mingle with celebrities, and see some incredible movies before they are released in cinemas.
Tickets here.

Comedy
London has more stand-up comedy in a week than New York, LA, Toronto and Chicago…COMBINED!
That’s a lot of laughs. Most of the established comedy clubs have some great acts, just avoid the flyerers in Leicester Square handing out nebulous claims to crappy shows.
You should probably avoid Leicester Square all together unless you want to lose money and dignity!
Piccadilly Circus has the world famous Comedy Store, which always has great international acts.
Our fave club is the Backyard Comedy Club in Bethal Green.
Great acts, reasonable tickets and you never know who might pop in to do a spot!

Bears v Raiders

by

Are you ready for the NFL London?
It’s week 5 in the NFL, which means that the Oakland Raiders have landed in rainy London, while the Chicago Bears land on Friday.
Are you going to the game?
Big plans for a great weekend in London?

Why not join us for some NFL fun while you’re in town?

We will be throwing a few parties this weekend-and you’re invited!

We will be working with the Princess Alexandra pub in Crouch End to host some of the games until the wee hours.
Located 10 minutes from Finsbury Park station, this ‘celebrity’ pub has loads of space and TVs so that you can catch all the action.
It’s also a direct bus ride on the W3 bus to Tottenham stadium.
You can catch the W3 or W7 bus from Finsbury Park to the pub-then grab the W3 bus to the stadium in 25 minutes.

The pub has a late license, so that you can party until 4am.
Buses won’t run at that point-so Ubers and taxis will be on hand.

You MUST have tickets for the after party-as we don’t want a huge queue in front of the venue.
Get your tickets here.

See you Sunday.

London-Travel

by

If you’ve never been to London before, it can seem a bit daunting to get around.
When you come from North America, the first thing you notice is that the cars drive on the other side-and crossing the street involves second guessing your inherent nature.

Londoners move across the city like cockroaches on a buttered floor, get in their way, or God forbid-stand on the left side of the escalator, and you will get a simmering look of disdain like no other.

We have a few tips to help you get around.

Apps
Unless you’re Amish-you probably have a smart phone or someone in your group does.
This is good.
You should download a London Tube Map, Citymapper, and if you have Uber in your local city-use that as well. (it works over here).
Citymapper will help you plan how long it takes to get to places and back. You can add in your destination/ hotel etc as a homebase to make getting around easier.
The Tube map is necessary for getting around this crazy city.
As you can see from the image above-sometimes it’s easier to walk, especially if you’re in Central London.

Tottenham/ White Hart Lane
If you’re heading to one of the NFL games at Tottenham Stadium (aka White Hart Lane) you will be heading to North-East London.
While this might have been a butt-ache several years ago, recent new travel lines and station have made this easier to get to.
White Hart Lane station is on the Overground (orange lines on map) north of Liverpool street station.
Luckily there are also loads of London trains that also head north in that direction.
You can pretty much reach the stadium from Finsbury Park, Liverpool Street, and anywhere on the Victoria Line.
Just note that on Sundays the tube runs like an old dog, so you might have delays, closures and early closings.
The tube usually stops running at midnight, so have your Uber ready in case you need to go somewhere.

Enjoy London and have a safe trip.
