Blackghostknife Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 Hi i am going to see some bands at The mean fiddler-London and Carling academy-bristol-london I was just wondering if those areas are alright at night (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trials_rocks Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 Mean Fiddler is a great lil venue. Its very close to the tube station and ive never had any trouble there at night. By the carling academy do you mean the one in islington? If so its a bit of a longer walk from the station, but the two times ive been there it seemed like a safe enough area.

tipsy Jock Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 The Mean fiddler is an amazing venue, is just under the Astoria and near tottenham court road tube station methinks. My drunken mind can't really remember! It's very very cool! Also if theres a heavy band on at the astoria you can see the floor shake with the moshing which is always interesting (Y) Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boon racoon Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 bristol academy is a pretty good venue as they go. has a big/cheap multi storey next to it. actual area isn't too great (a bit dirty) but it aint bad...quite near the centre really.

In which case, Brixton's not the best of areas (in fact it's decidedly rough), but I've wandered around there at all times of night and in all states (often standing out a fair amount as well) and I've never had any trouble. Brixton Academy is a pretty cool venue as well - based in an old theatre (iirc) all gently sloping floors so everyone has a better chance of seeing the stage. As long as your careful most places are pretty safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be either, brixton and islington academys' are both in London, and both owned/sponsored by carling. So make sure you know which one it is. Brixton is a bit of a dodgy area, but its only a short walk from the station to the academy, and the road wil be full of people attending the gig, so you shouldnt get any hassle at that time. Wouldnt reccomend hanging around there unnecessarily though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
