I am getting married next summer and hope to have my stag night/weekend in the only city worth celebrating it in. However, as with all major nights out, the possibilities in London are overwhelming. Google only really throws up the cliches. Not being a massive outdoor crazy sports type, I’m toying with maki...

Of a summer’s day I like to spend my lunch hour sitting in the sun reading a book. The Temple Gardens are a favourite spot. Come the winter though it’s rather too cold to sit outside so I spend my lunch hour in shops instead of reading – as I result I become stupid and poor. Can anyone recommend a ...

My friends and I have a problem. We’ve all been in the big city for a while, and we’ve had a fantastic time, but most of our weekends revolve around going out clubbing, getting caned and not sleeping much. We’re all feeling the pace, and recently when we were having yet another early morning conver...

I often pop down to london to meet friends and what-not, but due to being a student, cash is limited to say the least! I keep meaning to come down early one day, and just spend the day discovering london. What would you recommend for me to see in my day of exploring? You get bonus points if it’s free ...

Why are the typical ‘sights’ of London so expensive, the tower of London for example is £15! i think is is extortionate really! My boyfriend and i try to do the non-obvious things around London but sometimes it is fun to do the tourist things especially when we are not originally from London. But at thes...

I’m usually the great when it comes to finding stuff for cheap on the internet, but I’m really struggling to find a way of getting theatre tickets for less than a provincial year’s salary. It’s almost as if ticketmaster has a monopoly on them, which basically leaves queueing up in Leicester S...

I’m looking to buy some nice new shoes and wondered if you FCLers knew any good places to buy vintage mens shoes at a reasonable price. Looking for some lovely old brogues that won’t break the bank. I’ve tried a few of the better charity shops around town and Deptford Market. Any suggestions?

Being really lazy and really cheap is a really bad combination for getting your haircut in London. Therefore, my head is in dire need of styling after a whole year of neglect. Does anyone know of a good ‘free’ haircut place (for women) in the city…one of those where you get your hair done by stud...

I wanna take my fella to a spa for his birthday (I assure you, if his winging about back/neck/leg/finger/eyelash ache is anything to go by, then he will be delighted with this most girly of gifts. And if not, it’s a good way to shut him up.) So anyway -i’d like somewhere that isn’t too pretentio...

Anyone know of a good, cheap framer? Shop frames just don’t do the trick for a decent pic. And serial ‘look on google’ posters are perhaps missing the point of LbL. I’m certain the fine search site will throw up dozens of options but hopefully one of you lot will have been in my position befo...

Finding out which hairdressers or barbers are decent can be a bit of a gamble. Is there an online review site that might take the guesswork out of it? If not, does anyone know of a reasonably- priced (i.e. under twenty quid) barbers that might mitigate the effects of my ginger hair? I live in Bow, but don’t mi...

I have a much-beloved full-length winter coat, the lining of which is now more holes than material. It’s been in a pretty parlous state for a few years now, but it’s now got beyond a joke. Pockets? What pockets?! I blame Cigs and his big hands. I’m therefore wondering if anyone knows of a go...

I and my very strange friend, iAmJonny, just landed ourselves a sweet flat in Islington – next to the Hope & Anchor if you’re passing and fancy a brew. It’s very lovely and in a brilliant place but, as a result, is really bloody expensive. We got all excited by the location and fake wood floor...

Hi I’m trying to write (.....keep on starting but in the “park vs computer” battle the park is winning every time while the sun’s out) an article for a foreign magazine on “affordable London” for tourists. (It was supposed to be “London on the cheap” until they some...
