Moving from Inverness to London – Interesting Things to Know
If you’re moving from Inverness to London, the chances are you already know a lot about London – the main tourist attractions etc. – but do you know a few of the quirky things, especially relevant if you come from Inverness? We don’t pretend that this is anything like a comprehensive guide for you, but some of the information might just be of interest. Afterall, moving to london from inverness, is a not an easy decision.
Inverness Street:
Why not start getting to know your new home city by visiting a street named after the place you are leaving? Did you know that Inverness Street lies at the heart of the interesting district known as Camden Town, known for its ‘plethora of seductively scuzzy venues’? Moving to London from inverness, at least came with something exciting right away!
If you’re a stranger in the big city, where better to meet people than The Good Mixer, 30 Inverness Street, described as ‘a proper London boozer’? You can always use the opening line that you found this place mentioned on a web page for those moving from Inverness to London! The Good Mixer, incidentally, is where Noel Gallagher of Oasis allegedly insulted the dress sense of Blur’s Graham Coxon, and Amy Winehouse was a regular!
Missing Ceilidhs/Scottish Traditional Music:
If you’re moving from Inverness to London, one thing you might miss is a ceilidh.
Well, don’t worry, because there’s a Scottish music scene in the big city, and there are plenty of ceilidh bands for hire, or why not go along to the Ceilidh Club?
If you’re interested in formerly studying traditional Scottish music, you can do this at the University of West London.
If you want to learn, or start, piping, then visit the Scottish Piping Society of London.
