The oldest scooter shop in london, R Agius is featured in this month's Scootering - You'll find it on Edgeware Road - take the Bakerloo Line on the tube and head north out of the station.

As has been mentioned Scooter Emporium in Brick Lane (Liverpool St or Shoreditch tube) is ace. really nice people and honest scoots.

Scooterworks in Lower Marsh (Waterloo tube)
are nice and do good coffee too.

Time Out is the best place to find details of live gigs. and while you're in the newsagents, buy an A-Z as well. Go on the London Eye (you have to buy tickets in advance though, so you might not be able to do it) and do a river cruise to see the city at its best. Carnaby Street for cool shops, Spitalfields on Sunday for a great market (near to Scooter Emporium)
Camden Market for overpriced and filthy but pretty interesting loot.

Go into all the scooter, mod and retro shops you find to pick up cool flyers - Vincent Van Gogos and the Purple Pussycat Club are cool, but the king of them all is Club Montepulciano

Should keep you busy.
Niall
