I Actually Heart Camden May 30, 2008
Tonight I went to a show called “Rapunzel’s Last Midnight” with a new friend of mine. The theater was teeny tiny- there were only about 9 or 10 of us in the audience. The show itself was… OK. A little odd, and a little meandering, but OK. Not a shabby way to spend a Friday evening though.
We then headed to Piccadilly Circus to get some food before we went to a bar. The picture above is the tube station at Piccadilly at 11pm. AT NIGHT. I felt like I was in rush hour tube traffic it was so busy. And on the street there were just thousands of people. I wonder if this is what it’s like every Friday night and I’ve just been missing out.
We decided to head up to Camden to have a few drinks, and maybe catch a glimpse of Amy Winehouse (I have not given up on my search yet my friends). No Amy, but we did find a pretty cool bar called the Buck’s Head. This bar met our all-important criteria of not too crowded, but not empty and boring. The drinks were cheap by London’s standards (7.50 for two drinks), and there was a good DJ making noise. All in all a good night. My opinion of Camden has definitely changed for the better.
I hear that they are having tube parties tonight to celebrate/commiserate the banning of booze!
