“i got a feelin’ that tonight’s gonna be a good good night…”

August 6, 2009

London nightlife is world class and one of a kind. Between the famed London theatre productions, dozens of posh clubs, pub crawling and concerts, we’re never short of something to do. Below are snapshots from some memorable nights during this trip.

One of the best nights ever, even though the restaurant’s collection of songs and equipment hadn’t been updated since the ’70s. Good thing we’re all familiar with Grease and Tina Turner.

 It must also be established that our group loves to dance. A lot. We’ve been to some outstanding clubs and I constantly have Black Eyed Peas or Lady Gaga stuck in my head as a result.

On our way to the Ministry of Sound, a famous dance club. You’d think our behavior would alarm random passersby, but this is actually mild relative to the spirit of the streets on a weekend night in London.

Dancing until the early hours. It was Ruchi's birthday!

The streets of London are also riddled with street performers at night. My favorite so far has been the random tranny band at the Kings Cross tube station. Felicia, Ruchi and I had just returned from a night of fancy cocktails and Argentinian ice cream only to discover this….

They were actually quite good!

This was almost as entertaining as the night we all went to see a production of Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens. The nightlife will definitely be one of the things I miss the most when I get home.

And in case you were wondering about the cliff hanger from my last post…Scotland was AMAZING. Edinburgh was beautiful, and Scottish people are so friendly, albeit difficult to understand. There was a giant parade where hundreds of people marched in their respective clans wearing kilts. There were marching bands and bag pipes galore!
