View Full Version : Your City's Street Life At Night Abidrovia December 3rd, 2009, 12:10 AM Please no skyline pics; this thread is for street level or near street level pictures taken during the night time in your city. Abidrovia December 3rd, 2009, 12:11 AM I do not live in a city but NYC is the closest major city to me so here are some pics found on Wikipedia; http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/18/Times_Square_1-2.JPG http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/aa/Storm_at_Manhattan.jpg dmarney December 3rd, 2009, 09:01 PM I made a thread on this subject a few days ago, but somewhere else :) Abidrovia December 3rd, 2009, 09:51 PM Nice. Do you have a link to it? dmarney December 3rd, 2009, 10:22 PM Yeh sure, i think i made it yesterday actually, its not exactly the same topic but its similar :) http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=1016159&highlight= the spliff fairy December 6th, 2009, 01:08 PM London http://cache.boston.com/universal/site_graphics/blogs/bigpicture/london_08_29/london1.jpg http://cache.boston.com/universal/site_graphics/blogs/bigpicture/london_08_29/london3.jpg http://cache.boston.com/universal/site_graphics/blogs/bigpicture/london_01_28/l08_2.jpg http://news.jasonhawkes.com/JasonHawkes.-4738.jpg the spliff fairy December 6th, 2009, 01:11 PM Although the spotlights now on the East End for nightlife, the West End is still one of (if not THE) world's busiest nightlife district. Basically Picadilly Circus-Leicester Square-Soho (the original one)-Tottenham Court Rd is brimming with people, busier at 4am than 4pm. The streets are packed with thousands right till 5am, especially on weekends when the crowds double, according to police numbers, to nearly 1 million passing through in a night. Its abit like Times Square but bigger, for miles: v/NL42Gm_FTto&hl=en_GB&fs=1& /v/lTqtVSkoOqQ&hl=en_GB&fs=1& Between 1am and 3am people head to the clubs after the pubs and bars start to close. 500,000 clubbers a night that claim London to have the best nightlife in the world (though Tokyo and Madrid might have something to say about that). You can go clubbing from night to morning to afternoon to evening to night again 24/7 by moving from club to club: v/AZKrzkESWZY&hl=en_GB&fs=1& the spliff fairy December 6th, 2009, 01:12 PM as for clubland, this would be your typical West End club - house music, podiums, lasers, sweaty crowds and people on the pull. Its all a bit 1990s: v/MUuEMpUSV7c&hl=en_GB&fs=1& but with epic moments, the best of these clubs are transplants into the East - Fabric (catch it while you still can), and Matter: v/KeUI7xEnXN8&hl=en_GB&fs=1& Whilst the new scenes in clubland are in the East End - where its less about the music and more about the vibe and the fashions, and well just freeking out - anything goes, and theyre all polysexual (though its NOT about getting your rocks off, just having fun). http://c2.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images02/81/l_28edd71b2414486aadb7f84ef940eba1.jpg http://images.nymag.com/guides/london/scenesters070326_560.jpg http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2425/3889803869_1bfbc30b8c.jpg http://www.spoonfed.co.uk/resources/editors/dalstonsuperstorequiz02.jpg http://www.toimg.net/managed/images/bounded/10081670/w482/h317/image.jpg http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_QVv0HJhwTKA/SsCKnG_zTqI/AAAAAAAAD_M/XVd-6_BciRU/s1600/31_B0D6458.jpg This the current club du jour, Dalston Superstore, specialist in 90s muzak BEWARE NUDITY NSFW: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wU-8P-lIUNk . also you can get a night out knitting, painting, swimming, tea dancing, bowling, in the buff, in an igloo, on a tour bus, or with swingers in a giant bed.
