    But I agree with all the above. Go to the cinema. Or a pub gig. Or buy a uke and turn up at the Royal George on a Wednesday for a thrash. Or window shop around Coventry Garden or Oxford St.

    Get the Time Out app, that will give you all sorts of ideas.
    Time Out is the answer, although there was none of this app malarkey in my day. Pick a fringe play with a good review of a film at the NFT or Renoir and see something you wouldn't normally bother with.

    Or even go to a CUK evening, where you will at least meet me and Bunk.

    A mate of mine had him stay over at his a few years ago, as he prefers staying at peoples houses to staying in hotels. He said 'never again'
