Might go on Friday and stay over as don't want to do the usual Romford/Brentwood/Essex/London as I've done them to death.
Wondering who's been and what the crowds like.

LOL!
4 Months ago is recent which is good, mates bird said it was ghetto but just think she does'nt want him to spend the night out over there
Where'd you go? Heard Oceana is really good, and was going to crawl up the high street bar hopping if there are many?

I went Oceana bud, it was a new concept for me seeing g's in hats in a club, tbh  It's got the standard 3 or 4 different sections with different music playing. No idea what the bar was called we were in first, for some reason jacks rings a bell. Only went to one, as it was half price vodka all night, pretty busy and was a small dancefloor

No idea, i've got to organise it. Thinking of Amsterdam tbh as I don't know Essex, depends how many, might end up being the hut
Btw, ask Stavman about Watford, I saw him there a few years ago, pretty sure he worked there, so prob knows the nightlife

Watfords not too bad, it's your standard London suburbia night out TBH. Usual chain bars, pubs and clubs. Can get a Subway at 3am there too

Sounds like Romford with the subway, always rammed at kicking out time

Used to go alot when I was younger, but it's gone proper downhill and haven't been recently
Usually start of at wetherspoons for cheaper drinks and then work your way up (vodka revs is close to wetherspoon) next lot of bars are further up the street as you walk under the flyover up the main strip
You'll find chicagos on your left - shit
Then there's BED, not bad but not amazing and also the entrance to Area, tiny nightclub compared to oceana
Couple of small bars that stay open late on the right opposite (crap after 10 as its all the people and rejects that didn't get let into the nightclubs)
Lloyds further up on the left (usually alright for a top up before going oceana- most people end up ther) Yates opposite I would avoid then the usuall que around 10/11 to oceana where most end up
But I don't go Watford on Friday nights anymore, proper chavvy and full of scum half the time, used to go loads as I lived in harrow and ther is fuck all in harrow, I'd suggest going more central London or st.albans
Slug and lettuce full of fifties on the weekends

Decent write up thanks Steve! Will see what the guys think and go from there, I like london but fancied somewhere new as I've been quite a few places due to working up there.
Never been St albans but have been hatfield to that mansion club in the middle of nowhere, batchwoods I think? That wasn't bad but don't want to bump into one of my ex's

batchwood is proper chavvy, fucking hated it lol
st.albans town centre is pretty good, plenty of bars/pubs withing stones throw of each other,
the pea hen is good for a start, the snug (bit small and cramped sometimes though) o'neils, slug and lettuce next to o'neils (loads of fit birds in there easy)
then you have the choice of havanna or club veeda to finish (havanna is pretty much one big room but not bad)
club veeda has small rooms but it has 3 floors but both can be a bit of a sweat box when the weathers warm
