Well the easiest way would be to walk from the hotel to the Euston road and catch the no 73 bus which goes along Euston Road, Down Gower Street and then along Oxford Street - should take 10 mins unless its rush hour :)

As for linking the two addresses, pump the two Postcodes (WC1H 8ER and WC2H 0EN) into www.maporama.com it reckons that they are 2.3Km apart.

As for Bar suggestions, the George is crap nowadays - its gone 'upmarket'. Far better to go to Weatherspoons 'Moon Under The Water' - cheap beer and they even have large screens for sports now ... or The crobar
www.crobar.co.uk

As for Sunday. There's a cheap (3/4 quid) gig at The Underworld featuring a number of bands including Polish Death Metal masters Decapitated. They are on at 3PM!!!

Sunday evening you can get food and real 'Metal' in the Ben Crouches Tavern, Wells Street, just off Oxford Street

way better than the crap you hear in the Intrepid Fox these days.

oh and BTW I'll be at the Mean Fiddler too. :)

Nice one le chazzyf, i couldnt have asked for a better reply than that!
 
I'm coming too!!! :loco:
Yeah totally unexpected and totally last minute thing, anyways see you there people! :loco:
By the way, as i've already told Mariner i've no clue about the venue and how am i gonna get there, but you'll probably set a meeting someplace central eh?
I guess i'll be waiting for Mariner's instructions then, don't know where exactly i'm staying in London (don't know anything actually) and i'm coming with another mate as well, so chears! :kickass:
 
hey cool seeing u again :)

to your place mate!
I walked through this city a stranger, in the land I can
never call home. I curse the sad notion that caused me,
in search of my fortune to roam.
I´m weary of working and drinking, my weeks wages
left in the bar. And God it´s a shame for to use a friend´s name,
just to beg for the price of a jar.

I remember that bright April morning
When I left home to travel afar
To work till you´re dead, for one room and a bed
It´s not the reason I left Mullingar.

This London´s a city of heartbreak,
on a Friday there´s friends by the score.
But when the pay´s finished on Monday,
a friend´s not a friend anymore.
For the working day seems never ending,
from the shovel and pick there´s no break.
And when you´re not working, you´re spending
The fortune you left home to make.

And for every man here that finds fortune,
and comes home to tell of the tale,
each morning the broadway is crowded
with many the thousands who fail.
So young men of Ireland take warning,
in London you never will find,
that gold at the end of the rainbow,
for you might just have left it behind.
