Anywhere close and safe near the Academy where we can park? Seeing Arctic Monkeys there tomorrow night and it would be great if we could park there instaed of bus/tube!
There is a multi storey close by but it closes at 11.30 supposedly and will probably be rammed!!

On a serious note Robbo, its down a back street off of main roads in and out of London, there is absolutely no where close to park there. I was driving around for hours trying to find the place, and hours trying to get out of London.

When I was driving through there everyone was ducking down and looking into the car when we were in traffic, if there had been two white blokes in the car I reckoned I would have got jacked, lucky I had my black mate with me who is a bit of a dodgy bastard but even he was worried about driving through there.

i went out in brixton one night last year.
it wasn't around the academy as far as i know but the place can't be that big.
went to a few pubs/bars and a club and it was ace. had a wicked night.
fairly ethnically mixed, but didn't see any trouble or attitude.
