poisoning all things must come to an end. Thankfully for Lemony Snicket and A Series of Unfortunate Events the end is here. Snicket readers still have many burning questions: Will the Baudelaire orphans meet their end? Will Count Olaf prevail? Who is Beatrice? Will the ending be unhappy as promised? Is there a point to reading all 13 books in one miserable series? Avoid the thirteenth and final book of Lemony Snicket's international best-selling series and you'll never have to know. The most unfortunate event of all hits bookstores this fall. Read something else.

...I am doing writing about The End. This is, after all, a club run by Mr C from the Shamen, and although they check your bag on the door, and it has UV lights in the toilets (these prevent you being able to see your veins and therefore from shooting up, I have been informed - I always thought they were just to be pretty!), there are also mysterious shelves over the loos and signs up telling you what are the latest bad batches of E to be avoided.

Not being a fan of dance music, or one to go out dancing to djs when there are so many gigs to be at instead, you might be wondering what I am doing writing about The End. This is, after all, a club run by Mr C from the Shamen, and although they check your bag on the door, and it has UV lights in the toilets (these prevent you being able to see your veins and therefore from shooting up, I have been informed - I always thought they were just to be pretty!), there are also mysterious shelves over the loos and signs up telling you what are the latest bad batches of E to be avoided. So not exactly my scene as I'm usually to be found in the dirty little indie venues around Camden.
However, on Monday nights the End is host to a club called Trash. Recently feted by the Sunday Times Style supplement as being more exclusive than Attica, with a frightening door-policy, and the hang-out of "indie princesses in the know", it is my favourite place on earth. This where we go when our boyfriends have been mean to us and we need a night of vodka and dancing with our friends. This is also a justification for buying all those gorgeous dresses that make you want them but leave you wondering "but where shall I wear it?". And if this review is sometimes a little limited in it's English, that's because I'm still hungover from last night.
I can't speak for any of the other nights, but contrary to other people's reports, Trash at the The End is not expensive. It's £4 to get in if you get there early, (and later with NUS), £5 (I think - or at least it used to be) later. However it is worth getting there early so you can grab a leather sofa to pose on with your friends. The only thing I ever drink is vodka and tonic, which is £2.40 - this is cheap for central London, really cheap for a club, and amazing when you discover that the vodka is Smirnoff Blue (45% proof!). Did I mention I love this club?
The End itself is industrial in appearance and for Trash they project pictures of rock icons such as Blondie and The Clash onto the wall, which works quite well. The bar is in the chill-out room (the one with the sofas) and is long enough and well-staffed so you never have to queue for too long. They also put straws in your drink which is vital for not smudging your lipstick. From 10 until midnight there is a separate dj in the chill-out room, playing more obscure tracks by bands such as ...And you will know us by the trail of dead, and the mouldy peaches, as well as lots of stuff I've never heard before, which is great but also quite infuriating as I don't know who they're by and am too scared to ask the dj. After midnight the whole club plays whatever is on in the main room, which could be anything. Last night I heard, amongst others, old manics songs, guns n roses, T Rex, Britney Spears, MOP, marilyn manson - if it has a tune and rocks, they play it. They also have a lot of guest djs at Trash - when Soulwax dj the queue is enormous, and with good reason - and album launches with giveaways. The Strokes album launch party was held there, for instance. On nights when there isn't a promotion they only open half the dancehall. This is a good way of keeping the dancefloor full enough to create an atmosphere and also nobody likes to dance in an empty hall. On more popular nights, they keep the curtain closed until the floor is rammed, and then open it up, which I think is a brilliant way of doing things. Lots of people have commented on how amazing the soundsystem is but I've heard various speakers conk out during the course of the evening on several occasions (although I'm usually to drunk to mind, or dancing so close to them that I'm relieved).
Trash is a very cool club so they only allow very cool people in. Hence what is described as the "frightening door policy". It's mostly populated with one third fashion victims (i.e. wearing it like they wear it on the catwalk - if you wondered who did actually wear socks with high heels, this is where you'll find them), one third impossibly indie people (hard to describe if you don't know the type but they all look alike), and one third people doing their own thang. Vintage is always a good bet, as is anything home made and anything just *different*. It's hard for me to describe as I never have a problem getting in, it being the only place I can wear a lot of my clothes (or at least with admiration rather than ridicule). You'll probably be turned away if you're wearing ordinary clubbing clothes - a lot of flesh doesn't go down well in the ultra-skinny indie circles - or just look too ordinary. You're best bet if you've not been before is to choose a rock idol (madonna, debbie harry, courtney love etc) and copy their look, and then once you're in you can get an idea of what everyone else is wearing. It does get very hot in there but a lot of people dance in jumpers - don't ask me how! The other option is to wear all dark clothes with one really really fabulous piece of jewellery, and then people will fall over you all night asking where you got it. It's easier to get in the earlier you get there, and on nights when they're not holding promotions. However if they're not sure about whether to let you in and they ask what bands you like, just say the strokes and suede and you should be fine.
Last but not least, the club is situated just off new oxford street (that's the road that runs between dorothy perkins and centrepoint) and so is very convenient for nightbuses to pretty much anywhere - alays a bonus!
Advantages: Great music, and atmosphere Disadvantages: Usual high price of drinks that can be expected in London
I went to The End on a Friday night a couple of months ago. I went along to see LTJ Bukem and MC Conrad for the Cookin' sessions. Cookin' is a label which features experimental drum and bass. It's a real underground mixture of breaks, fat basslines, and jazzy, funky melodies. On arriving at the club I was very impressed with the music. In addition to what I was expecting in the main room from Bukem and Conrad, there was also Giles Peterson in a smaller ... ...bassy but crystal clear throughout the whole club. There are two small rooms with a bar between the two. An excellent lighting system completes this top venue. In the larger of the two rooms the DJ set is in the middle of the room. You dance right next to the MCs and DJs. The atmosphere is amazing - so many happy people, whistling and jumping. I mentioned the club is fairly small, it's also very busy at times. Go there if you like to Dance to good ...

...a serious dance music fan, The End is in my opinion the best club in London. The venue situated in the backstreets of tottenham court road, is incredible. You enter through a large double door and down some metallic steps to reach the club main. Enter and to your right is the bar/chill out area and second room, prices are usual expensive ones as with anywhere else. The decor is very fashionable and the atmosphere electric. Turn left and you will ... ...and gapped with arches, the DJ sits right in the middle on the dancefloor level, and it makes you feel vey close to your hero on the decks.Either side of the entrance are the toilets, which are immaculate and include cold taps, vital for filling up that empty water bottle. The most incredible thing is the soundsystem, reputed to be the best in London it allows you to hear astonishing volume and still retain the detail in the music, from the fat (and ...

...as sassy and stylish as the flyers would have us believe. The End has a great set up and sound system. Everything from queue management to searching (polite but thorough) was a little different to experiences in other dens of dancing. TAN of the sunday night variety hosted a sublime post carnival night. The End's sound sytem does justice to the finer elements of garage music and the crowd match it with a mix of on the edge fashion, smattered with ... ...night for the lighthearted Ben Sherman and trainers brigade. But at £20/£25 you have to work hard to see the value in it. There's as much see and be seen as there is - just get down dirty and dance. Thrown together they mix pretty well, and if you can see through the thin layer of attitude, then the pleasure is yours for the taking. The End. ...

Advantages: Good all round value and presentation Disadvantages: Un-inspiring presentation of sound at times
I don't hate the Warner Villiage chain, but that said, I don't LOVE it either. To me it is a very simply and typical multiplex fare. The food is fine, the seating is fine, the screen size is fine, but there's just something about them, something somewhat tacky perhaps?
A common beef with me in my reviews of cinemas is my comments on sound, and usualy the Warner West End has been decent enough. A couple of their screens are THX certified and they do have the latest digital sound technology installed in most of them, but yes, as seems to be the case these days, they fail to use it and resort to the most simple and frankly worst theatrical sound format there is right now, Dolby Digital. It's a shame they do that, but this is a minor complaint as even in DD I've not been upset with the audio presentation here, althouh one thing I will add ...
Advantages: Very central, well connected, good value, comfortable Disadvantages: none to speak of other than the rooms could be bigger
This hotel is in a superb location whether you are in London for work or play. The West End theatres are literally round the corner along with all the other central London famous sights. Needless to say transport links are good be it by bus, train, underground, foot or bicycle. Of course driving is not recommended!
I found the concierge helpful and polite. The entrance seemed quite grand to me and you immediately felt transported out of the hussle and bussle and into a sanctuary of tranquility.
The room was fine by my standards. Not palatial but neither was it offensive. Relatively neutral decor and a comfortable bed. Everything was clean and tidy and the facilities were good and all working.
I even found the shower more impressive than most and was able to have quite a pleasurable soak before hitting the town that evening. ...
this is such a great hotel, and one of my favourites when i am travelling to london. it is located directly in the centre of central london, and is close to all of the major tourist attractions including the west end and the london eye just to name a few. the hotel staff are especailly great, extremely poliet and helpful, and are always willing an answer any questions. in fact, i think there are some who speak other languages. the cleanliness of this hotel is brilliant, which is fantastic, and the rooms are execptional. complete with large beds, and a tv, some rooms have en-suites. there are some family rooms, if you are travelling with children, and it does seem ti have that family atmoshpere in the hotel. in all a brilliant hotel, definetly to be recommended. ...
