Marmora Man Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Next weekend (18/19 May) I find myself alone in London as Mrs MM visits old friends in the country.What to do?My preference would be a good film or stage performance followed by a good meal. Ideally I'd like to challenge usual routines, so not West End theatre or mainstream cinema blockbusters and equally am looking for somewhere less obvious to eat out at. Suggestions received gratefully! Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/32162-next-weekend-what-to-do/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
stacey-lyn Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Greenwich? We've seen some right corkers at the Greenwich Theatre. Great little venue. Not sure it's up your street but maybe worth a look http://www.greenwichtheatre.org.uk/?option=com_content&view=section&layout=blog&id=2&Itemid=37 Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/32162-next-weekend-what-to-do/#findComment-644255 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeremy Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 aquarius moon Wrote:-------------------------------------------------------> Watch what you want on tv, hire some Dvd's,> > Order a take-away & some beer,From what we know about Marmora Man, this seems unlikely.If I was eating on my own, I'd probably head to somewhere like Spuntino, where you can sit at the bar and order a few small plates and a get a decent drop of wine/beer. Gets busy, but should be OK for an early dinner or late lunch.I'm not the biggest Theatre buff, but there seems to be interesting things going on at the Soho Theatre, and "The Shed" (temporary 'fringe' theatre venue next to the National Theatre).

maxxi Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Are there any local hostelries/restaurants Mrs MM favours but which you can't stand and only visit with her to make her happy? If so; visit these alone, get outrageously drunk and thoroughly disgrace yourself. Then explain to Mrs MM, on her return, why you can never go there again.

MrBen Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Jeremy may be correct in guessing MM's preference but I'm with Aq Moon. I love a day or two to myself and would hit the gym in the morning or walk to Nunhead to buy fish, mess about in my garden during the afternoon, go out for a few late afternoon pints locally with a paper, head back, stick some good tunes on and cook up something manly with a stiff Negroni followed by a fine bottle of red. Then late night telly then bed.Repeat on Sunday as required. I could live a life like that quite happily.

Peckhamgatecrasher Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 No, no, no.The only possible option now is Lords, gins and tonic, and a cryptic crossword.Followed by the comfort that is the Seashell.Followed by Grahame Greene.Sorted!

Jeremy Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 MB/HB - I hear what you're saying, most men love having the house to themselves just now and again, eat/drink/watch whatever you want and just generally do your own thing for a bit. But I just don't think of MM as a curry and a 4-pack type of guy...

Chillaxed Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I'm with PGC - Lords is the only option. Indeed, you're obliged to go on behalf of all of us unable to because of family commitments.
