Hero Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Not much info on their site beyond yes, we have a cloakroom! Found this on London News site: The cloakroom is on Level 0 in the foyer. It opens an hour before performances start and there is a small charge per item. A variety of items can be stored, but visitors are asked not to bring large bags and suitcases which can't be brought into the Main Space. During winter months the cloakroom is often full by 8.30pm. Bicycles can not be left in the cloakroom. And a TripAdvisor reviewer said the wait for the cloakroom before and after the gig was the worst she'd experienced in London. That was in Feb 2019. I'm thinking be minimal, bring only the essentials, and have lots of pockets. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 I usually take a roomy shoulder bag. I've taken tote bags into gigs before but these days they prefer you to have something smaller (easier to search, I guess). 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My rainbow handbag is just big enough (or small enough) for my phone and a purse, and being a shoulder bag it won't get in the way. I think I'll decide more about an extra tote nearer the time, but if I do bring one I guess I could keep it close to my seat so I'm not holding it all the time 🤔 We shall see. 1 hour ago, Prisca said: My bicycle can't be left in the cloakroom.

Or if they do the pockets are often fake, I hate this so much! 😡 And yet men's jackets and trousers are full of pockets! If I want to bring quite a few things to the gig I could always go for something like this though! 😅 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the Roundhouse: There are a few bike locking points provided by Camden Council directly outside the venue and some near Chalk Farm station. Because of space constraints we aren’t able to store bikes in our cloakroom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, after the 66-hour ride on my bike (according to Google, which doesn't know my fitness at all ), I can park my bike at a locking point in front of the venue? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hero Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 Just wondering, are there any common dance moves that fans do to Mika songs? This would be useful info to have in advance of the gig. Or is it more a case of, just try and stay upright in the crowd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only just understood this now after watching Il Testimone last night! (What a documentary!) Best stay away from Mika's jewellery then! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could always try the iconic 'Relax' jump, while trying not to kick the person next to you though! I think most people will be jumping and clapping (or fainting, I'm looking at you @holdingyourdrink ). Best just to try and stay upright throughout! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends where I'll be staying. If I get a room in Camden then I'd like to go shopping there in the markets, but if I'm further away (say more than 30 minutes by tube), I probably won't go into Camden 'till nearer the time of the gig. If that happens then I'm thinking around 4pm. It's something I'll think about nearer the time I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve booked a hotel 10 min from the theatre so planned to go around the markets but there’s a sci fi shop about a 20 mins train ride that I like to go to when I’m in London so will Probally head down there too but yeah I know London reasonably well so it’s not an issue too much what I do as I can work the timings okay it’s tempting to go to the zoo as I don’t think ive ever been London zoo but also seems stupid Tbf it all depends of I meet up with my friend or not who will Probally be living in Shepherd’s Bush then but I was just wondering 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who has balcony seats could throw down paper petals like these during a particular song. Using lots of different colours and getting a lot of fans to do this, I can imagine it would be very effective and also so pretty! It's just a matter of whether this would be allowed though, at the end if the day it would be someone's job to clear them up 😅 I was thinking more about my fan action idea and a way to make it less likely to make a mess at the venue. Instead of dropping loose petals down from the balcony seats, petal garlands could be used instead. Like the one below: Fans in the balcony seats can just hold onto the garlands over the railings and let them sway along to a particular Mika song. This way the garlands can be brought back up and tucked away back into bags! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard it was required a quarantine and now a PCR test 2 days after entering UK. For sure things will change, but I'm afraid in worse, I see everywhere restrictions are back.

That's how it seemed to work last year. 🤞 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
