‘Call it safety or call it startling’: Things you’ll only know if you live in Hyde Park
Claiming it’s not dingey or damp, but ‘vibe’, is just the Hyde Park way
Royal Park Pub / RPP
I love u xx
Once you’re sick of first year clubbing, or you’ve been embarrassed yourself doing karaoke at Dry Dock one too many times, Tuesday’s at RPP is the only place to go and before you know it, you’re queuing up straight after uni to make sure you get inside before the dreaded 7pm mayhem.
£3.90 for a two-pinter, or if you’re quick, there’s a mighty four-pinter jug up for grabs, alongside loads of deals for spirits and mixers. Give it till 9pm and you’ll be outside telling everyone just how much you love them, all to embarrass yourself again next Tuesday.
24-hour Saino’s
The bars on the house windows (?????)
The rats
The rats in Hyde Park are on steroids and I stand by that. They are huge and take no shit at all. Absolutely petrifying and not a vibe.
The dodgy *ahem* business cards
The random gun shot/fireworks
Nobody ever knows what they are and why they happen in 3pm in broad daylight, literally every day. Your guess is as good as mine but it shits you up as if it’s your first time hearing it.
