...you MUST try InsideOut at The Arches in Glasgow. This occurs on the last Saturday of every month and what a wonderful night it is. Infact, it is classed as the BEST clubbing night in Glasgow. One of the highlights, ofcourse, is the actual layout of the 'club'. It is a under Glasgow Central Station's Railway Bridge and there are 3 main arches which are occupied with different top class DJs. You hear the music change as you enter each arch and the ...

...you are in Glasgow then the Arches would be a good bet. This club is situated under train lines hence the name the Arches. The interior is nothing to write home about but the people who atend this club don't seem to mind. What make's this one of the most popular club in the city is the club nights it holds.

...(sorry for using the same pun twice...couldn't resist) The Gateway Arch, St Louis, Missouri, USA. Introduction: The Arch of St.Louis is dubbed as the 'Gateway to the West' and is probably the most famous attraction in Missouri. At 630ft (192m) tall, and exactly wide as it is tall, this is no small construction. It was designed by Finnish-American architect Eeor Saarinen and structural engineer Hannskarl Bandel. As well as being the tallest habitable structure in St.Louis, it is also the world's tallest monument. Completed in 1965 (4 years after Saarinen died) and costing approximately $15 million to finish, it stands as 'the' monument for the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial* (a site that stretches across 91 acres along the Mississippi river). A remarkable thing about the Arch, is that it stands on the exact... Read review

Advantages: Always hosting different nights to cater for underground tastes.
Disadvantages: In a bit of a dodgy area, only one bar, not cheap, no draught beers.

...The Arches is located down a little backstreet in sheffield, and yet sometimes hosts some of the best nights in the city. Since corporation has decided to move, it has temporarily been held in the Arches. This means twice a week rock fans a get a good dose of some heavy music. As well as rock music the Arches holds nights like headcharge, for the cyber kids amongst you into hard house. Several punk bands have played here and the venue is pretty versatile when it comes to the types of music being hosted there. The club is located in a not too nice area of the city centre called the Wicker and it can be a little dangerous at night. A friend of mine was beaten up for being a rocker down there on his way back from the corporation held night there. The venue has the strangest layout. The bar is located upstrairs, then you literally... Read review

Advantages: Best bed i have slept in
Disadvantages: No tube station close by

...Me and my husband stayed at Marriott Marble Arch Hotel for our Wedding Anniversary,(Bonfire Night) we stayed from 4th - 6th November 2006 as i wanted to go on the London Eye this year as i thought we would get a good view of the fire works. The hotel is of a very high standard and is kept well maintained, although we felt it was expensive for where it is situated compared to other hotels. The bedrooms are very tastefully decorated and are quite roomy compared to other hotels. It had a queen size bed which is about the size of a double bed plus half again, the mattress was soft and comfortable (which i like) no good if you like a firm one and the pillows were large and fluffy, it is the best bed i have slept in i had a thoroughly good night sleep. The room also had a shower/bath and a sofa, TV with alarm clock and telephone, iron... Read review
