England : London Sunday London ride

[deptfordmarmoset]

Yes, lovely to meet up with @Mice, who I haven't seen in ages, and @User1314, who I haven't seen since a protest ride earlier this year. Also, simply nice to get out on the bike in sunshine - I've been a very lazy marmoset recently.

... is THE CAKE TO END ALL CAKES!

It's a shame we didn't get a proper look at the Paris-Roubaix cake that was just arriving as we left.

We've cycled passed it many times, but last night, with Mrs rb58 and friends, we finally went inside - Brick Lane Music Hall. It was a brilliant night. I laughed most of the evening, sang along and generally got into the swing of things. Obviously popular with an older audience, there were nonetheless quite a few of the 'younger generation' who were clearly enjoying the show as much as we were. And joining in wholeheartedly. Innuendo, sing along, old fashioned comedy, banter with the audience and even a magician. Surprisingly good quality (although I don't know why I thought it wouldn't be). And the venue's exterior gives no clue to how well it has been converted inside. So glad we went, and it's on my list for a return visit. Be warned though, not to everyone's taste - my 21 year old son (21, going on 75 that is) sat there most of the night shaking his head and mumbling "I just don't get it"

Are we talking different Connaughts here? The Brick Lane music hall (nowhere near Brick Lane) is south of London City Airport between Silvertown and Docklands. As a church-cum-music hall it's a fairly unlikely place to be.

I'm talking about a pub off the Edgware Road that does an old-timey singalong night. Your place is by Tate and Lyle, no?

Yes, that's right. It was just the fact that one is on Connaught Road and the other is on Connaught Street which made me think we were talking cross purposes.
