Westway Sports Centre - review by Plewcock

Went to the centre purely for the climbing wall - have no real intention to use it for anything else, but for the walls alone, this place is great. There are plenty of different routes (50+??) to rope climb, a wall for traversing and another for free climbing etc. And on sunny days, there's a interesting concrete shape/wall outside. Highly recommended.

The Effra Hall Tavern - review by x3dre

Rating: 3.7

I visited there lastnight 1st April 2007.

There was a band made up of people just jamming away, were very good and lively ...

Very much a place I would recommend, as the crowd are relaxed and easy going. The place has an easy going vibe.

It's really hidden away in the back streets of Brixton in a residential street. So you have to really find this little gem of originality.

The Effra is a genuine reason to live in South London. Without giving too much away (as you really have to go here to experience it) it's a 'proper' boozer tucked away on an innocuous residential street in the smarter part of Brixton. The beauty of this place is that it is REAL! Full of interesting locals from across the social and racial spectrum - the common link for them all is they love socialising, beer and quality live music. Most nights of the week you can hear top notch jazz, reggae and more in the back room. I highly recommend the jazz on Thursdays which usually sees a crew of over 10 talented old-school musicians jam away til midnight. Its all free of charge and the beer is reasonably priced, though has crept up over the past year. The beer garden is blissful on summer evenings.

Friendly, cheap and with excellent music. A great place to go with your buddies to bob along to some tunes and meet some nice peeps.
