z6e6p6 Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Just wondering if there will be a few pubs that us Zeppelin fans can get together and share a few pints? Please respond with any rock n roll friendly pub locations in Central London or next to O2 arena, any pubs that are planning Zeppelin events or any intentions to form a Zeppelin pub crawl or something etc.... Lets make this more than a show since many of us are travelling "Over the hills and far away!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boogie23 Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Yeah, it's a good idea ! I'm travelling from Italy and I will be in London on the 8th, so I hope that we (the fans) can meet even the days before the concert, and of course the day of the concert, before and after the show!

hot dog Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 ive heard there are loads of bars inside the O2 we could all meet in. They'll be heaving before the gig mind. What about the Sunday night? Anyone staying in central London? I was hoping there might be a decent gig on, doesn't look like it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dharmabum Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 Here's an idea for the night before: www.friendsofzep.org/Dreams_Aloft_Event.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whyalla Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 On the old board their was a lot of discussion about meeting at the Pilot's Inn in Greenwich, within walking distance to the Dome. I'm going down on the Sunday morning and staying over till Thursday night so if anyone wants to meet and party before or after the concert then BRING IT ON. I'm sure closer to the date lots of things will get sorted out. But it would be special if those with tickets get together in the arena bar areas and maybe those who are standing form a little group inside during the concert.

But am determined to be their or near their on the night !! So hopefully meet a few of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archilles can't stand Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 http://www.beerintheevening.com/pubs/s/10/...North_Greenwich the pilot in greenwich is your best bet. it is only a short walk to the dome and sells real beer at realistic (Albeit london prices). a good place to be in the afternoon before the show. there are bars inside the dome but they are always heaving and opperate a queuing system to get in! once through the ticket barriers to the main arena there are plenty of standing bars which usually opperate fairly efficiently, however the choice is limited to eurofiz and standard "cooking" ok for beers just before "kick off" but not a place to spend much time. if you are an O2 phone customer you can fast track through the O2 bars (Bottles only) GOOD NEWS..... you can take beer into the area (or at least you could for the stones) Please note. Dont choose to stock up if you are the guy in front of me. so much information on drinking...perhaps i got my priorities wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackCrowe Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 The Heavy Load Club at the Phoenix pub (near Oxford Circus) sometime do pre-big gig events and is a truly fab place...anyone know it. Will check out if they're doing anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Page Posted November 23, 2007 Share Posted November 23, 2007 so much information on drinking...perhaps i got my priorities wrong? Ha ha! Your priorities are just correct. One of the essential ingredients of this magic night will be a couple of good pints in the stomach. Since I'm from Sweden this will be my first pint. Over here the only serve "stor stark", a big strong and it's only 500 ml instead of the pint's 586 ml. (According to Wiki). My concert buddy and I discussed this last night and we talked about the chances of being beaten up and robbed by someone jealous of us for getting tickets. Maybe you shouldn't go around flashing the wrist band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z6e6p6 Posted November 24, 2007 Author Share Posted November 24, 2007 They'll be heaving before the gig mind. What about the Sunday night? Anyone staying in central London? I was hoping there might be a decent gig on, doesn't look like it though. Yes, I'll be staying in Bloomsbury, central London, a few blocks from the Gower street tube. Would be interested in having a few pints. No info on any gigs yet, but I am hoping that we'll get some good info on any Zep pub events in this thread. I am flying from Los Angeles to Barcelona Spain and I'll be in London from the 8th till the night of the 12th. I am really interested in organizing all night Zeppelin themed pub crawls and hotel bashes. Lets make this an event to remember! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 I still think the Pilot Inn is the best bet, about 10 minutes walk from the O2. Should be making my way down there on the 9th, hopefully see some of you there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musicalbeds Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 ...Ditto...well not quite Toronto...Georgetown. I'm coming from near Barrie, but I'm heading to London then hopefully straight to Amsterdam first for 4 days or so then back to London. I've heard the Generator is a good hostel, if anyone needs a cheaper place to stay. I'm thinking of checking it out when I get to London on Dec 4th.

calzepfan Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 There are a few shows happening around London on the 8th & 9th. The Kings of Leon, Artic Monkeys and Gorgo Bordello are all performing. They are not Led Zep but would be a cool warm up show if you run into the right party girls. See ya at the show. Coming from LA.,Ca. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
