Londoners: What is there to do In Hammersmith?

[GasX]

I am spending the night in Hammersmith and am looking for something to do. I'd be happy with a recommendation for a pub with decent food, but I'd welcome something more entertaining...

There's plenty of West Ham Utd fans around already - no need to make more...

Go into Shepherds Bush. Just down the road. (also, and I hate that I know this, it is the reason behind the name of the band, 'Bush'. Not becuase they are a bunch of pu..) Good nightlife.

Also, none of you b1tches arrange an ATOT Atlantic Meet(tm) when you're over*. :|






*OK, so I'm in Switzerland this week, but that is hardly the point, is it?

Take the tube somewhere else?

I've stayed at the Novotel Hammersmith a few times while in London (good price and service)... never actually did many activities in the Hammersmith area (I didn't know there were activities in the area).

It's not really a nightlife destination beyond the Apollo Theater. I wonder if white people get boo'd off the stage there too...

Oh sure, what are you doing in Switzerland, washing your hair?

What if I expand my grid to all of west London?

 

[AZGamer]

If you're going to look at all of West London.... What do you want to do? Just figure out what you'd do in New York City - it's the exact same cost (thanks to the weak dollar) in pounds as it would be in dollars - so something that costs $20 in NYC would cost 20 (I can't remember how to do the L symbol) pounds in London, basically $40. But the tube is much cleaner than the NY Metro, and fewer beggars

Clubs, shows, etc. are all normal fare in the area for tourists - so you have to be more specific.

It's just me and I am way jet lagged, so nothing too crazy... I'll settle for a decent pub that'll have a good crowd watching the EPL matches (Charlton v. Blackburn & Tottenham vs. Middlesborough)
