Another (yawn) birthday coming up in a couple of months and I want to book a room in a pub or bar on a Friday or Saturday where I can bring my friends and my own music, vinyl, iPod, etc. I’ve been told about upstairs at the Old Queen’s Head on Essex Road in Islington.

I’m organising a party for a chum and thought I would seek advice from the collected wisdom of you kind LbLers. Want it to be intimate, I guess about 50 people there. Should be a clubby type atmosphere, just us, located centralish with perhaps a dash of south. There will be disc jockeys, who I’m prett...

Anyone know any good venues playing live jazz? Not big name gigs, just resident or semi-pro bands. Somewhere nice and relaxing, not pretentious. Sort of place full of smoke and a singer who sounds like they’ve swallowed razor blades. Tables with candles and 50 different whiskeys. Damned if I know where such pl...

I need a party venue (for c. 100-200) e.g. a private room above a bar. Ideally we’d like: Ready made sound system for our own DJs and possibly a (small) band. No charge (we can easily guarantee a substantial minimum bar bill. This is no idle boast). Can pay if necessary. Late license, or failing that ...

Does anyone know a fun venue that has a restaurant and dancefloor? I am organising a group out, and really don’t feel like traipsing from spot to spot waiting in queues, etc.? I am looking for a fun vibe, not pretentious… any locations in central London welcome.

Simple question really. I heard it’s going to be destroyed after having been sold off for about £24million to some property developers… some have said it’s going to be turned into offices or a shopping centre (the people that bought it own the buildings next to it too), well, it’s not going ...

I’m 27 next Friday… MokAsh is 32 just days later… we’re having a party… but we don’t know where! So loud you can’t hear is out, as is anywhere too expensive. We may need to accommodate about 40 people and since we’re aiming at the end of the month it needs to be boo...

I have a friend that I work with who doesn’t drink (or smoke), so when we meet up, it seems slightly unfair of me to expect him to come to bars and pubs with me and watch me get pissed and smoke too many fags. What stuff is there to do in the evenings that doesn’t involve bars? There isn’t anyt...

Disaster may have struck my charity fundraiser!! We were meant to have the use of a civil servants club in the area, free of charge, which made it sooooo very attractive. It appears they may be backing down on our booking, so I need to find a back up plan QUICK! It needs to be near Victoria, and it needs to hold 10...

Congratulations to all the lucky FCLers who got their hands on tickets to see the Spice Girls at the O2. Tickets which, apparently, sold out in 38 seconds. It’s always nice to see a lottery where even the winners are losers. So, today’s question of the day is this: what is the single best gig you̵...

Does anyone know something a group of around 15 17/18 year olds can do for my 18th birthday? Im planning to get a limo and then drop us off somewhere. Half the people will be under 18 so we cant get into any bars or clubs. And I want it to be somewhere kind of different that no one else will think of. And under £25 ...

The choir I recently joined (as did other LbLers – hello!) has to find new space to rehearse as our current space is no longer going to be available to us as of, well, now. We’d been using a large meeting room in the offices of a law firm, so another meeting room, small hall or other similar space wou...
