You might want to try Lee hurst's comedy Club near where I live. Here is a link.

Easily walkable from either Bethnal Green of Whitechapel tubes and the 254 or 106 bus will drop you off right outside. I am not really into comedy clubs but friends tell me it is good.
Another option is the Hemingford Arms in Islington. They always have live music on a Saturday night, sometimes Irish, sometimes bluegrass. It is a great little boozer.
In fairness, most of the other pubs round here that do entertainment are of the loud disco variety.
hope this assists,
fergy.

Travel Tips for London
Stonehenge. August 2002
by bakpakchik
Having gotten terribly bored of Brussels, I decided to cut my stay short and return to London. What I didn't realize was that Irantzu was still on vacation and obviously not home to let me in. No keys on me either. I took two deep breaths as this realization sunk in at Waterloo Station. I smelled another mini adventure rearing its head.
I looked around for a decent bunch of backpackers (preferably with no
visible tattoos or piercing), spotted one and asked them if they
knew about a good hostel. They were staying at The Generator and that's where I spent the next two days. I also ended up going to see the Stonehenge with them. In pictures it looks like a bunch of rocks stacked in a pattern. In real ... it really is just a bunch of rocks stacked in a pattern.
Piccadilly in London
by deecat
The Piccadilly area in general is a
place to visit to see one of London's finest streets,
Jermyn Street, to see St. James
Church with its famous church organ, to walk
St. James Square to admire fine
architecture and the lovely garden with Wm.
IIs huge statue, to check out the art
galleries on King Street, to see an exhibit at
the Royal academy of Art, to view the lobby
of the wonderful Ritz Hotel (must be
dressed appropriately), to take a guided tour of the
Spencer House, to enjoy a stroll in the
ornamental gardens in St. Jame's Park
where you may peruse the lovely flower beds or
take a stroll by the sea. and, of course, to
experience the dazzle of Picadilly Circus.
(Whew....what a sentence!)
The old Roman Wall
by yooperprof
Londinium was the site of a Roman encampment, and evidence of Rome's presence here can be seen in several places, most dramatically in a stretch of well-preserved Roman Wall near the south end of the Barbican Development. Several sections of the wall were unearthed as a result of the destruction of the 1940s and subsequent rebuilding of this chunk of the city.
Heading to the Pubs?
by shutterlust
Great Britain may be famous for their love of queues, however the pub is the one place where all respect for queues are forgotten.
Pub Etiquette:
You somehow get yourself to the bar. You hold a tenner strategically in your hand, such that your bar maid can see it. You place your order. (Note: it seems that women always insist on paying for their own drinks or expect a guy to pay for their drink and men always pay in rounds...hmmm). You get your drink. You pay the price that you're told. There's no such thing as tipping in a pub, unless your bartender was particularly helpful or friendly, at which point you would more customarily offer to buy them a drink, which they could drink now or later, and that's usually just a half pint or so, unless you're particularly generous..
My mistake: I used to tip about 1-2 pounds for each drink, always going back for more (I never drink just one! haha). Until I met the man of my dream (again, haha) who told me otherwise.
So you can all learn from my mistake and don't bother looking around for a queue in a pub and don't bother tipping unless you really feel compelled.
Anonymity of a Cockney
by rickyvilla81
In London you can be absolutely anonymous, if you so desire. Or even if you don't so desire, because everybody will ignore you anyway. It is SO different from many places in this respect, especially on the underground where people cocoon themselves into little universes behind their newspapers. And that's another thing...people will read ANYTHING on the tube, and I do mean anything.
Try this experiment. Get a newspapery type thing, preferably in some absolutley obscure language, and just place it on a seat on a tube train. I guarantee that within five minutes someone will have had it and will be athere really doing their best to read it. It could be full of adverts for cardigans but the skinhead will sit and devour it, so as to focus on something other than the other people in this tight place. Because at the end of the day, we are all squashed like sardines into these tins and if we looked at it realistically we would all go nuts.
Wow, think about that!
