The Victoria
Here’s what happens when Dreambagsjaguarshoes grows up, packs its bags and moves to Dalston. The Victoria is now owned by the same people as the perennially cool and grungy Shoreditch hangout, and probably represents a mellowing out with age – it’s a pub, it’s more relaxed, it stages live music, and it’s on a backstreet off Dalston Lane instead of the illuminated strip down the road. As a pub, it’s decent – an artily thrown-together look, a few local beers (although not many), and a ‘residency’ from peripatetic grillers Psychic Burger. It’s a misleading name – I sat thinking about what I wanted to eat for half an hour before having to go up and order at the bar in the old-fashioned way. But as US diner food in plastic trays goes, it’s a fine example of its type. Through the back of the pub is the stage, where assorted bands assemble to perform. The Victoria has been a scuzzily democratic live music venue for decades, so it’s great that the new owners kept that going and didn’t turn the room into a dining room/yoga space/Tesco Metro.

Don't forget Hillsong Carols! It's the biggest Carols in Europe at the SSE Wembley Arena!
Does this mean there is no Carol concert after the 10th of december? Or is there a page 2 I can't seem to have access to?
Have you ever heard Christmas carols performed by a top steel drum band ensemble? http://www.steelbandhire.com/ This band was hired by Hamleys to entertain guests as they entered the famous London toy store and is available for Christmas parties. The space required is minimal if you book the 3 piece acoustic band and the enchanting sound is simply inspiring.
