Where's good for teenagers to see live music?

Last active about 1 year ago 10 responses

My eldest son is 14, although could easily pass 16 (6ft+) without identity card and would like to go and see live bands on a regular basis at a cost that isn’t extortionate, preferably Friday nights. Where can he go that won’t kick him out or rip him off and that is relatively safe? He’s around ...

Hey, my friend wants to take her Dad somewhere this weekend, he doesn’t often come down to London, but has done the usual tourist thing… He is fairly old and cannot walk that far – I suggested Walthamstow Dogs – anyone have any good suggestions? (having never actually done the dogs myself!)

Are the hotels in Finsbury Park really hotels?

Driving down Seven Sisters Road next to Finsbury Park, on the way to Manor House – the street is lined with hotels such as ‘The Majestic’, ‘The Grand’ etc – surely they aren’t really hotels? They look like dumps to be honest, and they often have cartons of milk on the outsi...

What is this village-type area of London?

I watched the beginning of the Channel 4 programme tonight (11pm) on identity theft, and the presenter began in an area of North London, where he’d bought a house. It looked very nice, like a village, and had a pond. It was unrecognisable to me, but I’d love to know where it is exactly – any ideas?

Does anyone know exactly where Hangman's Hill is?

I grew up in north London and me and my friends would often drive out into Epping Forest to a road known as Hangman’s Hill. It’s one of those spooky places that although the road looks like it runs downwards, if you take the handbrake off the car you actually roll up! Legend has it, a man was hung from t...

In my (not so long ago) youth I used to be a reasonably accomplished horse-rider. I have recently been considering taking the up the reins again and whilst I would love to be able to afford to buy and stable a horse in London, it just isn’t going to happen. Does anyone know of any good riding schools in Nor...

I’m about to move flat and would like to unload a good portion of the large piles of books, videos and CDs I’ve accumulated, to make the job a bit easier. Does anyone know of a reputable second-hand dealer who would take the lot off my hands for a few quid? Preferably, collect them from north London too?...

Are there any good guitar teachers in North West London?

I bought my bloke an acoustic guitar, and he was all enthusiastic for a while as a friend of ours was giving him lessons and keeping him at it. Now that friend has (understandably) decided he’s not mad on trogging up to Kilburn on a school night to teach guitar I am being twanged at less and less. While I&#...

As a result of spending all day sitting on a crap chair in front of a crap computer, my body is falling apart. About six months ago I had a spasm in my back that left me temporarily bedridden, and I currently have a terrible pain in my right arm. So, I’ve decided I need a good massage. Now, I’m not lo...

Just wondering where people suggest I look for a bike – have already tried a few stores in and around the City where I work and was completely ignored, and vowed never to return to either chain – but I still need one so I can get into cycling to work and on weekends.

Why are birds singing at night?

I was kept awake in N7 last night by evil birds singing through the early hours (definitely at 1am and 3am) – does anyone know why? Surely this is against nature – I thought they were supposed to sleep when it is dark. Was not a wine- induced dream as my boyfriend also heard them. tk
