It isn't greatly cheap to go out drinking in London. But if we were thinking of a big party-like gathering somewhere it'd probably be cheaper and easier to go to a supermarket and pick up some cans or something, take 'em back to the location and wire into 'em.
Well we have a few minors coming along so that's probably not the best idea, but as Ago Iterum said, there'll be a bar where ever we end up going.
But isn't the party idea so tempting :(

I'm still okay with taking alcahol back to the hotel, minors or not.

I may be organiser, but if you want 'responsibility expert', find a 30 year old haha.
Well I guess I can fill that roll, responsibility is my middle name.....well actually it's David but you get the point.
But yeah alcohol back at the hotel is perfectly fine.
You're responsible?? I'm giving you your role then, you are the official chief of making sure everyone returns alive. And your task, brave sir, is to locate a hotel that is not too far from Kings Cross station.

Here's the location of a comfort in. It's time for you to find out how much it is a night. Go team!

And also, check the OP. It's updated with an organisers section.

Well I was probably overstating my own responsibility a bit, I should just say I can be in charge of making sure the minors don't get shit-faced.

That's for two nights, still we'll probably have more than six people, as there's a small contingent heading down from scotland, I think we need to keep searching.

You get payed in blue-berries, other than that, no not really.
Oh sweet Jesus.

We need a new hotel, if you can't find one that's super cheap... Find a damn camp site, and we'll get some tents. That'll be cheaper, and it'll be summer. And funtime. Fun fun fun.

That's actually a possible plan b.
I'll need to know a vague price point aswell as how many we're expecting.
