I'm just going to go ahead and ask this:
I'm going to London 10/13 - 25. I'm looking for decent hostels as well as good places to visit in general.
I already bought tickets to Neubauten and Fabric in one night. Too psyched.
Any pointers would be very great. Thanks in advance!

On a Sunday - do East London - Breakfast at Premesis cafe, then Columbia Road Flower market, then Brick Lane, Sunday Up Market and Spitalfields. Wander around Hanbury Street.

spend a day doing the cheesy touristy stuff, just to get it out of the way and so you'll have something to tell your grandma about. are you traveling with someone or alone?

What are some cheesy tourist stuff, I've never been there and quite clueless.
I am traveling alone.

although isakosmo said above that piccadilly circus is no good- my wife loved it and spent our retirement fund on trinkets from there... she was happy, i was happy.

get a local to take you around brixton... not recomended going on your own.
ginglick in sheperds bush is a great little place.
c a r g o, near old street, specially if you like street art.
the book club, round the corner for hipster-spotting
go to the criterion for a posh tea
plenty of upper-shit-no-class-posh-ish near south-ken
good pubs in fitzrovia
do not go to the west end. nothing to see there...
if you want to go to the anyway, you can stop for good sushi in donzoko, or for a glass of wine in milk & honey (members club but sometimes you can get a table without being member) both places at walking distance from the macstore...get a bloody raincoat.
oh, and go to the electric...

Oh, you could come to my house for tea... followed by a night of hard drinking, fighting and seedy strip clubs, and cheap brasses ending the night in my favourite crack den.
Trust me, you will LOVE it!
