Night out in central London this Saturday
Discussion
I've booked our annual Christmas weekend away for this coming Saturday staying pretty central in Holburn and i'm after some advice on the following
Food - late lunch really by the time were out and about, I'm thinking something easy going like a good burger, Honest Burger in Soho looks ok from what I've read, any better suggestions?
Activities - this is basically a booze deterrent tactic, i need to organise an activity or suchlike that will kill an hour or two during the day, i was planning on crazy golf at "swingers - west end" however it looks like I've left it too late and now sold out, for 6x 30+ yr olds any suggestions?
Nightclub - (providing we make it this far) 3 of us are planning on going to a club, anything house/trance related suggestions please?

The best trance/acid/techno club is still going strong in Coldharbour Lane, Brixton. Can't believe I used to go there 25 years ago!

Best place outside of a Hackney squat party and open till 7.00 am.
Dunno about daytime activities.

There is a bounce in Holborn (Table Tennis, good fun)
Flight Club is also good value
Don't know of any clubs in the area barring Fabric (probably not that kind of event)
If you don't mind moving Dinearama and Flat Iron Square are great little venues that do street food, variety of bars and normally have a DJ

Odd as this might sound, a group of us went to play shuffleboard a couple of months back.
I didn't know what to expect but it was surprisingly good fun, like a cross between bowling and curling. A great laugh in the end and a good way to kill a couple of hours in a relaxed environment. Gets the competitive spirit going nicely too

If you do decide to head that way, you might want to look at Honest Burger Liverpool St or Old St branches. I am a fan of HB but their Soho place is tiny and pretty cramped as its busy all the time - often you end up waiting outside for 20mins as they don't take bookings. Not ideal if its cold/raining.
ETA: It's the "floor" shuffleboard you want on the website, not the table one.

I didn't really rate Meatliquor.
The main issue I had was that they have the lighting like a nighclub, meaning you can't actually tell what is in your burger. That and you're stuck under a big loudspeaker, not a good environment for eating
The Kings Cross one isn't at all dark.The main issue I had was that they have the lighting like a nighclub, meaning you can't actually tell what is in your burger. That and you're stuck under a big loudspeaker, not a good environment for eating

Kiln - street food/grilled Thai place, not your usual pad thai
Dean Street Townhouse - open all day, very well made modern british fayre, nice "british salon" feeling to it
Nightclub - Hovarda. still in soho, not a club but a restaurant with an upstairs bit, different Djs every night, good looking crowd and good house music. Think of it as more a posh Ibiza crowd and music than Hacienda in the 90s...
