The Whitechapel/Bethnal Green scene
 

Apparently there is one here too, but it's almost entirely made of wankers who wear tight jeans and pumps. Bands? Read the NME. They're all there.

I see lots of people who look like they're probably in bands, which means that they most likely really work at Borders.

Tulse Hill has more character. I ended up there on a night bus with a friend once, because we both fell asleep and got off it in the morning, right in front of the infamous Tulse Hill Hotel. We spent the whole morning wandering around, dazed and confused while laughing about it.

I've drunk in the Tulse Hill Hotel on a number of occasions in the early '90's - some interesting characters there, to be sure. Not as interesting as the place on the high street in West Norwood, where (allegedly...) one could borrow a gun for the weekend.

upper middle-class students slumming in the East end.. how novel.

junkie posing in £150 skinny jeans daaahn befnal greeeen.

you should see the greater West London scene.

I never go further west than Hampstead unless I'm going to the airport.

I used to have to get over to Acton for school.. NEVER again. If I ever have a postcode that begins with the letter W anyone is permitted to shoot me.

Its TW that i worry about.

TW?

thumbs up to porky for having brian sewell in his avatar

I never understood why they don't put him in charge of anything artistic that comes out of England. His are the only articles about art that I seem to be able to take seriously. I've dedicated him a thread quite a while ago, but only me and Tokolosh showed up. His take on post-modernism and modernism in general is so spot on, you'd think it would have become a deterrent to all aspiring Brit artists.

i want him to come to my degree show
