From pubs to parks, The Script's Irish born Mark Sheehan shares his affection for the city he now calls home, London.
Best thing about London is:
It's so multicultural and there's something to do all the time.
Top 3 things to do:
1. Walk around central London, Piccadilly Circus area.
2. Do the tourist thing and get on a double-decker tour bus — it seems cheesy but it's actually informative.
3. Go on a pub crawl. I always enjoy local pubs and live music, and London is a great place for that.
Best free thing to do in London:
Hyde Park is beautiful and a nice place to chill by the lake. Some people hang out drinking beer and there's always lots going on like free movie screenings.
Favourite place for a bite:
Chinatown has great food options — it's a great experience overall.
Favourite hangout:
I find West London has better pubs than other areas.
Most over-rated place:
Boozy night clubs and places that say, "Come in here, every celeb is going to be here," — they're the worst.
What's London's best kept secret?
I don't think London is known for its food like most places around the world but it's got a wonderful dining scene. You can find a hidden gem if you look at online restaurant reviews.
Don't leave London without seeing or experiencing...
Pubs generally have a a blues night or a comedy festival, there's always some sort of event and that's what I like most.
The cheeky lads from The Script are bringing their stadium show to our shores next year. See The Script play at Auckland's Vector Area on Friday 12th April 2013
