BLITZ RETURNS TO LONDON
 
Noticed this party tonight in east London and thought people might like to know about it.

There was an interesting eatery come watering hole off Kingsway many moons ago called the Blitz and every hour there wold be an air raid warning. Sadly closed now.

Good site for events in London.

what an awful idea....as my Mum lived in central London during the Blitz it's a sound that turns her blood cold.
I can't imagine making a feature of something that meant something bad to so many

What's the betting the beer runs out, and all the staff are trained to say "Well, there is a war on, you know".

Ha hahahhhahahhahhahahahah.....

Sorry, but talk about missing the point!

The Blitz was where the new romantic movement started out. It had nothing to do with the war. It's where peopole like culture club, and steve strange started out:

It's now a ponceteria called Browns.

CW - went to the Blitz a few times. Didn't fit in.

CW....thanks for the info. I went to the Blitz a couple of times in the lunch hour for office farewell drinks and really was not aware of its evening activities. Seemed OK in the lunch time.
