Hey fuk'ers, been giving a lot of contemplation towards the fact that I am turning 30 this July, more specifically, as to how I am going to commemorate three decades of existence.
As for the doomed day itself, probably spend it with family and close friends, but then plan to go tits with all the mates on the weekend following.
Consideration has been given towards spending it in a european city, Berlin, Barca etc, but trying to arrange for 20 or 30 people coming from various parts of the uk is effectively, an unmitigated disaster in planning terms.
So, London is the city that we will likely be desecrating.
We are hoping to acquire a flat or home for the weekend of July 11th to use as an HQ of sorts. We can't be fucked with hotels and all that shit, so were hoping to pay in the region of £100 each for the use of a decent pad. £100 x 20 persons minimum = £2k, which I think would be in the realms of reasonableness. Beds and all that aren't completely necessary as sleeping won't be the order of the day.
So, to ask the question….. does anyone know of any agencies or similar that offer similar services for weekend long accommodation that aren't hotels or hostels?
Much obliged. Smiling

I dont know of any lettings agencies as such, but i would suggest you dont inform them you number 100 persons...

If you change your mind and your looking for a great hotel id suggest The Hoxton Hotel... good prices, and great location... Great cheap bar too.

just opposite the old blue last which can be a cracking venue if you catch it on the right night.
