Ntyce is a good club down Woolwich side's, you go see plenty nigerians.
@ Coco29 Trust me the UK is not all that bad, I am currently staying in Asterdam for abit and it rains a lot more here than it does in the UK because it is built on water, when the UK was enjoying some sun this place had a rain storm for days and poeple don't compalin instead you see them riding their bicycles like foolish people.
A country is what you make it, if you want to have fun you will definately have fun.

There is so much to do in London. the major museums and galleries are all free too.
The National History Museum, Science Museum and V&A museum (all free entry) are all next to each other and really interesting, very modern 'hands-on' type museums.
The Tate Gallery and Tate modern are free. At the moment the big piece of art in the terminal hall of the Tate modern is a series of giant slides that you can go whizzing down.
National Gallery and Portrait Gallery are free.
Just walking round London is very interesting. The south bank area, round Westminster by the houses of parliament and Big Ben, round Covent garden, along the river, etc.
You can get some very cheap walking tours (see London walks website) that set off from tube stations, don't need to be booked, and cost about £6 each. They are usually themed, for example a Jack the Ripper tour, a ghost tour, a pub tour.
Greenwich is a nice day trip from London. You can catch a boat down the Thames and see a really nice little historic area, lots of nice shops, pubs and restaurants, there are historic boats you can look round, and the naval college buildings. It also has the maritime museum (also free) which is interesting. You can find the Greenwhich mean time line - all times around the world are set from this line (GMT).

If London is so bad why don't all you complaining about it fxxk off!
Its your attitude that makes it depressing and then all the positive people who use so much that the city has to offer can relax!

i think the people complaing that london is dry are just plain lazy. there are sooooo many sights to see, so many things to do as long as you're openminded. fun is not just about hopping from one club to another. theres tons of other fun things to do like catching a play at a theatre, going to art museums like someone mentioned, getting your portrait taken, visiting the wax museums, going on a boat cruise, fine wining and dining, and much more. so stop complaining and do something.

true the weird thing is most people living in london itself don't go out that much, apart from being busy people just can't be bothered to go look at some "funny drawing at the museum or some scary fish at the aquarium, theatre

@ loverbwoy. yes, i noticed that too. the people that actually live there never have time to see the city, except maybe when they have a friend visiting, and even then they're too busy working 20 jobs to show the friend around, so the friend has to kind of tour the city on their own or with a tour guide. funny observations.  i guess tourists appreciate the city more than the residents.

He told me its the same thing over at his end too, just walk past most places
