    Most footy fans I've spoken to generally preferred going to the Millennium Stadium better when the finals were held there whilst Wembley was being rebuilt.

    What's the one where they smashed a hole through the wall so you could get a kebab from next door?

    Millennium stadium right next to Cardiff City Centre while Wembley is bang in the middle of West Istanbul.

    You will be doing well to be 3 miles away from Wembley Stadium two hours after the fight ends. Gridlock on all roads and massive queues at all underground stations.

    You have the name "Brixton Bomber" (OK, I accept that name would mean you're in SW London) but you don't know where to go out in NW London?

    Edit: Unless you actually like Danny Williams?!

    As long as the tubes are still running then getting out of there is usually not too bad. If the fight doesn't finish until afterwards then you're seriously ****ed. Possibly literally, it's a grim area.

    Personally I'd get the Metropolitan line across to Liverpool Street and do a crawl through Shoreditch and Old Street (then probably end up at Fabric), the West End is too touristy on weekends.

    You might as well go home - by the time the fight's finished nobody will be admitting anymore people.

    You'd have to get out of Wembley, and the trains won't be working when the fight's finished (last trains on the met line will probably be about 12pm, possibly 12:30pm) - incidentally, it's a joke that we don't have 24 hour trains in London but that's by-the-by I suppose.

    If the trains aren't working you'd have to get a cab into London - the only decent clubs that'd possibly still be accepting people will be either Farringdon or further east in Shoreditch.

    The only decent club I'm aware of in North West London is the Loft in Willesden Junction.

    I've worked in Soho for a good few years now, there's a few late bars and drinking dens about. Or if you like strip joints Sophisticats is always open pretty late.
