Fantastic Indian food. Award winning, exceptional curry. This is my favourite curry restaurant in Oxford. Make sure you book (or dine early) this place is obviously packed out most nights of the week.

Formerly Club Latino, Clementine's is popular with the Oxford Brookes crowd (particularly on Friday nights). Unfortunately it's the DBI lot (Daddy Bought It). Lot's of pashmina scarves, dyed blonde hair and talk of summering in Tuscany. The bouncers here are hard work and the drinks are overpriced for what it is.

On a positive note - "Panic" the uni indie music society meet here, so it can be good for gigs/music.

A great place for bike repairs in Oxford. If you are a student, you're bound to need new inner tubing, a sturdy lock or a new helmet every now and again. The guys in here are really friendly and really local. Great advice and they never try and push you into buying something. If your repair is really, really simple (eg. tightening a few bolts) i bet you they don't charge you. All in all, a must know place for cyclists in Oxford.

I've always thought "the chandos" is a bit of an odd name. Sounds a bit like a cheezy nightclub on Kefalonia. I don't really know where the name comes from, but what i do know is that they do cheap beer and it's only a stones throw from Trafalgar Square. Like every Sam Smith's pub, the beer gives you ridiculous hang overs. I guess that's the price you pay for cheap man in the box lager.

Awesome live venue. I've been to about 4 or 5 gigs at the Astoria and I have never had a bad experience. Centrally located, friendly staff, great acoustics and loads of good bars & pubs for boozing after the gig!

You can't help but be proud of Iffley Road sports centre. This facility is brilliant. I love going down here to watch rugby games and i've been thinking about joining the gym for ages.... I'll get round to it one day! Historic and state-of-the-art, this is one of Oxford's sporting treasures.

Pretty awesome club in Farringdon. If you haven't heard of Fabric and you live in London, where have you been!? Great music, lots of space, good crowd and caters for all tastes on a bunch of different nights. Probably the best club in London.

Good value for money mexican food. This isn't hardcore mexican food (it's a mix of mexican, burgers, ribs etc.) but it's a nice place to eat on a weekend. The novelty of being allowed to wear a sombrero while you eat will never wear off in my book. Excellent cocktail list, must not authentic mexicana.

Busy, busy, busy, busy, busy. That's all i can say. You really don't want to get caught in rush hour at Victoria station. Londoners tend to turn the entire station into a sweaty scrummage after 5pm on weekdays. It's just a case of too many people trying to get through too small a space. Hard to find a solution really other than build a bigger station and make it more efficient. Like Moonrising, I agree, having to pay for the toilets here is pretty ridiculous. Ok, i'm sure it keeps the tramps out, but i really can't be bothered to fish around my pockets for 20p when i'm bursting for a wee!

In Victoria stations defence, they have a great selection of fast food places (including Krispy Kreme's), the trains 'tend' to run on time a bit better these days AND the Gatwick Express is brilliant. London to Gatwickin about 35 mins. Brilliant.
