Is there free parking in (or near) Soho, London at 9 o'clock on a Monday? (Street names are useful.)
I am wondering whether to meet up with the university LGB society tomorrow, which is apparently going to both G-A-Y bar and G-A-Y nightclub.
I have been told they are:
- noisy
- full of people
- cheesy
- camp
- intimidating
but also that 'everyone [who is out and gay, presumably] goes at some point in their lives'.
Is it a good place to start as any, or would to go tomorrow evening (with some people I barely know) really be jumping in at the deep end?
I have a suspicion that most people here no longer (or never did) frequent these sorts of places, but I thought I'd ask anyway in case anyone has some general advice.
I am also anxious about how I can make an escape. The last train from Reading to Egham is at 23:30. I'm considering driving, but I don't like driving in London (and it prevents me from drinking altogether). Is there any other practical way to get home if I can't cope any more?

Free is hard in that area. It used to be ok on a double yellow line, but not now, I think. Residential areas are better and then walk/tube. There are some decent areas around Polygon Road in Euston with good tube links.
Your other route is to park at (say) Boston Manor and picadilly line in

You're never allowed to park on a double yellow line.
Never on a single yellow line, either, unless there are rules attached to the lampposts giving the hours outside which it does not apply.
I'm pretty sure there is parking around Russell Square (Bedford Place), because I parked there last weekend. It's about 3/4 of a mile from Old Compton Street. I was wondering if anyone knows of anything closer.

lol, i've never been to G-A-Y either... but being up here near Manchester, Essential is apparently the place to be... (i prefer Poptastic lol)
surely though you'd be better off not driving, and getting trains in the evening, and home the next morning? its what my LGBT is doing when we go to birmingham later this year...
meh, since its now tuesday, i should ask, did you go, and did you have a good time?
