London Cultural Scene

There are lots of things to do in London. Lots of great sights to see, clubs to go to and
music to hear. You can pretty much find activities to suit many tastes.

As well as visiting the many amusement sights you can also go star spotting as in film
stars if you can get into the right locations and parties. Its all in the who and what you
know.

If you do get lucky enough to get invited to More

Nightlife in London

Capital of the United Kingdom and its largest metropolitan area, London, is a city famous for its nightlife. Indeed, London’s nightlife is something that any partygoer or reveler will vouch for as the city is world famous for its party vibe and non-stop nightlife. There are innumerable after-hours drinking and dancing dens to suit everybody’s tastes. From the vivacious dance-floors of major nightclubs to the friendly vibes smaller DJ bars, London has a lot to offer to both hardcore party More

South of the river

Don’t worry, I’m not sending you too far into the wild, wild south – just suggesting you cross over to London Bridge Station and the Borough area of town, where the world famous Borough Market is held every weekend.

I say world famous, but actually I only found about this hive of foodie activity a few weeks ago – and was then promptly told how the whole area is at risk of being levelled for development! So if you haven’t More

Alto It Is!

Want to see how the rich and the super rich party their nights in London? Then pay a visit or rather get yourself listed on a guest list of a member of the Club Alto (an only members club). This is ‘THE’ place to party if you don’t mind spending a few extra pounds for drinks but at the price of a good fun night out!

Situated in the up market Soho region of London, Alto is a perfect after More

A Nice pub in Uxbridge

After some wondering around central London I have decided to go west and see what can be found there. I took the metropolitan Line toward Uxbridge. I had almost no idea where I was going, but the stories of some girl I met at the club last week. I didn’t have her number, but I really wasn’t going there to see her. I was just bored. So after not so short journey I arrived at Uxbridge Tube Station. I was More

Thank Goodness For The Laptop

Imagine a world without laptops. Or don’t…it’d be terrible, wouldn’t it? To my mind – and I have given this more thought than is healthy, probably – things would have gone something like this:
1) At the time when laptop computers were invented, in THIS alternate universe (where they were not), life would have continued as normal for a bit. Nobody would have had any idea that actually, the fact that laptops had not been invented was a big deal More

Fin And High Jinks!

Enigin talks about schools and how there are now programs being set up everywhere to help them save energy; something which is sorely needed! And what a great thing this is! I remember school…just about. Ok, I don’t remember it really, but I do recall certain things and my brain makes up the rest. One of the things our class excelled at was wasting lots and lots of energy. And what did it matter? Money wasn’t important to us and More

Music and Subcultures; Rap

Rap music , as a subculture, perfectly demonstrates the Birmingham School of thought and their theories of subcultures. The Birmingham School made four key judgments about subcultures ; bricolage (dress), recuperation (movement from niche to main stream), authenticity (genuine) and homology (continuity).

Rap music was born in the Bronx in a working class area populated by ethnic minorities. The music style began as a way for those in political, social and economic stress to express themselves. They adopted a certain More
