How do you survive down here? Being a true northerner and my 2nd visit to London in my life the price of stuff bloody hell half a pint of flat beer and a small red wine £7.50 wow!

I'm Impressed with the sights tho. They even get rain down here. No found a vape shop yet, asked if I could use my vape cig in a pub and got told NO which actually was a bit of a surprise. Needless to say we drank up and left.
 
HA HA!

Welcome down south, overpriced beer and lack of vaping in pubs :(

Well at least you enjoyed the sights!
 
Cheap! It's amazed me how few people are vaping here, I thought it would be the opposite and they would be at it all over. Had the impression London was usually first on stuff like vaping.
Well away from vaping. PHANTOM OF THE OPERA! bloody amazing I was totally blown away. Until you experience this live you have no idea how great a show it is.
 
London does seem abit backwards with vaping. My family are from Kentish town/hampstead but only one of my cousins had seen an ecig. They all took the piss out of me for my funny looking pipe thing and kept telling me to have a proper fag! I'm sure there was mention of a vaping shop in Camden but it was one of those designer shops selling ego kits at crazy prices (I might have imagined that though).
 
Heading to Greenwich today and on the Eye later. I will look out for vape folks
 
Haha, £7.50 for a glass of wine and a pint is actually really cheap for London!

Vaping - generally in typical London fashion, don't ask, just vape. If you ask, you will be speaking to a staff member that has no authority. If they have to make a decision, they will always say no, just in case they get told off for saying "yes" later. But if you just go ahead and no one complains, they can plead ingorance. If a pub really doesn't want it, they will have signs up or say so.

I find a rather susprising amount of vapers on the street here, but a lot use ciagalikes, so they aren't so easy to spot.

Vape shops? There is apparently one somewhere in Greenwich. Not many around. Dont go to the one in Covent Garden. A lot of the people you see here aren't Londoners either, they are just visiting, like you :D

Hope you have a great time here, try the cable car, it is well worth it.
 
Just done cable car. Wish I saw your message earlier, away from Greenwich now. Greenwich was very nice.

It's £7.50 just for a decent glass of wine on it's own! Or at least it is in my local anyway :/
