My friends and I had come here after a meal out at another friend's birthday. We had put our names…read moreon a guest list a few weeks before to avoid paying an entry fee. After running after trains and buses (bare footed in the filthy streets of East London) trying to get to this club before 11:30, we were then told that the guest list had been cancelled. Fair enough. We then had to wait a further 30 minutes to get inside and then we were told that we had to pay £10 and an extra £2 if we had on jackets (which was compulsory). I was slightly annoyed but didn't let it ruin my night. The venue itself was okay. It was spacious and you could dance freely. The crowd of people that were there were mostly 18 24 so if your into more mature surroundings I don't think this place is for you :D. Considering it was a Africans v Caribbeans night the music was mostly, Afrobeats, Bashment, Reggae, Soca with some R&B and Hip-Hop (which I thoroughly enjoyed.) You don't really need to dress up. It's more casual but nice (however ladies, definitely put on those heels!) To sum it all up it was a really good night out. No fights! Just everybody having a good time! Make sure you bring an extra £2 for your coats and jackets!

Seven Kings has changed a lot in recent years. The community is now very Asian, which is…read morerepresented by the shops and businesses which now line along the high street. The Seven Kings of yesteryear is now lost in the wind, except for the lovely gem of a place that is O'Gradys. Irish Bars are everywhere. They're often pretty annoying, and not very Irish at all. But O'Gradys is the exception to the rule. Irish-owned, many Irish staff and is frequented, in the main, by the Irish. I'm not Irish, at least not fully - but I am really comfortable here. It has a real friendly, family vibe to it; even when it's crammed full of people on a Saturday night. I should warn you that if the Irish Rugby or football team are playing, you're going to have a hard time getting to the bar. It's worth it though. If you're Irish, this will feel like home; as opposed to many of the Irish bars in Central London which feel just like the Irish bars in New York or in Ibiza or wherever; just a stupid ploy to get the English and Irish to spend their money. I've had some fun nights here; and as I touched upon previously; it's just nice to find somewhere in the Ilford area that isn't tainted by attitude. I wouldn't necessarily make the trip out to Essex especially; but if you're in the area you could do a lot worse than go to O'Gradys.

The club does get packed but because its quite big there's still enough room to move/dance. The drinks wasn't too expensive it was average priced considering it is just outside London, but now the downside to this night club is you got to sign up to a membership on the door which costs £30 I believe, this one membership allowed all of us entry which was a party of around 10+ but we still had to pay the entrance fee on top of that which was £10 each. The problem is they don't make you aware that you have to sign up on their website if you haven't been before, the doormen make up the rules as they go along I think because I see other people walk through without showing a membership.

Whilst Scenario in Dalston is focused on console gaming (Wii U, SNES and others), Secret Weapon are focusing on PC gaming similar to Meltdown and as such have several PCs for people to try out. The drinks on tap are a bit more like a typical pub fare in that there is Carling, Guinness and Budvar (Czech) and several others; but their bottle and can range is more vibrant from several breweries such as Flying Dog and Monteiths, In addition they have the same gaming cocktails that their Dalston bar are known for so it adds to the gaming vibe. The pub itself is largely intact from it's previous form in that it has kept more of the old school decor around. It has only one floor, but there is a beer garden out the back so you can get some fresh air in between gaming or watching some people play games.

DO NOT GO TO THIS UNORGANIZED CLUB.. 0/0…read more We bought tickets ahead of time for Egg London's Halloween night and were so excited to go, but the whole experience was horrible. We waited almost two hours in the rain, barely moving in line, and I really needed to use the bathroom but kept holding it because we were finally close to the front. My girlfriend handed me my ID, and when I followed her under the line divider to get back in our spot, the security guard saw her give me my ID and still shoved me out of the line with no warning at all. I wasn't trying to cut or cause any issues -- we'd already been waiting the whole time. When my girlfriend tried to ask what was going on, he shoved her too, again without saying a word. It was completely uncalled for and honestly really upsetting. To make things worse, two of our friends went inside and paid extra without even telling us, after we had all waited together. The whole situation was chaotic, unprofessional, and handled terribly. Between the lack of communication, poor organization, and aggressive security, this was one of the worst nights out I've had in London. I have never gotten kicked out of a night club or shoved! WOW

I love how relax this Docklands neighborhood is, I was told that it was practically nothing here back in the days, although the area is not particularly bustling on the weekends, it is an ideal place to visit to escape London's craziness. Since we decided to hang a little bit more in the area after taking in the Emirates Line, the Oiler Bar suited what we were looking for, a place to chill while enjoying a glass of the local beer, and the water park as the backdrop. It is a barge docked and transformed into an open air bar that serves wide variety of local beers and some selections of wines. It was truly relaxing experience especially on a nice sunny day. This place is highly recommended, I will definitely visit again!
