Why not stay in Covent Garden? There is absolutely everything on your doorstep for a night out I can't think of a better place to be on a Saturday. It'll be packed being right in the middle of the West End though.

There are some nice pubs in Hampstead, just up the northern line from the west end. Then when it gets dark you could go for a stroll on the Heath and make some new friends...

Liverpool Street sort of way has some good bars. But sounds like you've done the grand tour as it is!

Ahhh... hadn't realised. The one thing I would take in if visiting would be the Notting Hill Carnival so perhaps swap you Sunday to see part of it. There is stuff for everyone.

We're doing our usual challenge cup final weekend staying in Coventry garden, we need some ideas for nights out for 40 something's, done the Camden, Kings road, Shoreditch, Islington, nights out, can anyone suggest Shoreditch/Camden type places that we could try? Not into nightclubs as such but we do like a late beer or two.
Cheers

There's tons of pubs around "Coventry Garden", and unlike a few years ago when they thought they could get away with serving any old slop, you'll usually get a decent pint of ale in them these days.

Yeah understand that Perry but as I've posted earlier we're doing CG Friday afternoon, Friday evening, probably Saturday dinner time and Sunday afternoon so would like a good change from the tourist type of night out.
Cheers
