Quick tips and leaving London for the weekend

I'm missing the Jubilee celebrations in favour of a trip to Italy so I will miss the the crowds as they pass (literally) outside my door. However there are plenty of tips for things to do on the weekend including:

• A handy guide to wake the neighbours up with the Sex Pistols
• Nudist street parties (well they did it for her 50th and look likely to do it again in E17)
• Scenes of a messy nature in Soho with various street parties around the gay bars...

Of course if you do make it to the South Bank the entire area is heaving with bars and restaurants including the very sensible National Theatre Propstore that serves local beers and is made up of sets and bits from past productions... A nice spot if you can get served... Or grab a seat...
