Monaghans is a great spot for the lock in too. It is a fairly lawless place.

Realise it's not exactly the sexiest part of London, but are there any nice boozers or nightlife by the Olympic Stadium? Heading over for a game next month, game will be over at 7.30, need to be on a bus out of Stratford at 8am the following morning so don't fancy getting into the center of London for a few hours.

Been to the Queen's Head for bands a few times. A very London Irish pub that has had some decent rebel bands and a few punk ones. Might not be a bad spot.

I'm not the greatest fan of the Bugaloo to be honest. Would drop in for a pint or two every now and again but would avoid it on a Friday or Saturday night as it does be full of hipsters! Gerry can be a bit of a dick at times also.

Would much rather head down Archway, Holloway Rd or Finsbury Park. Gerties in East Finchley or the Springfield in Bounds Green are also other decent boozers in the area with some characters knocking about.

Anyone ever experience Monaghans in Wood Green!?! Some ropey joint. Like stepping back into the 60s

This **** has gone viral apparently, I know I am helping him here but I have really given up, even being promoted by number 1 site for ****s and other beanie hat wearers, Secret London. Everything that is wrong with Dubs, Irish millennials and London in one video.

Il Posto on Vauxhall bridge road. Located across the road from Apollo Victoria theatre in unsurprisingly Victoria.

It is as you guessed Italian. I think it's been there well over a hundred years (edit: website says 1892)

Had grub in there once and it was lovely.

Recently I've been to:

Texas Joe's by London bridge. Very nice!

The Jones family project in Shoreditch - great steaks.

Tayyabs in Whitechapel - Punjabi restaurant
Galipoli in Islington - Turkish
Arlo's in Balham - Steak ( Not the best steaks in London but cheap and their own sourced Malbec is outstanding)

Cattle Grid was only average, that was a few years ago though.

I do love the outpouring of empathy and sympathy from Londoners after the recent tragedies. It takes people dying in the most horrible ways for the ****s to become human, the rest of the year they would stab a small child for a seat on the tube.
