I want to know if there is a place where you can find those statue street performers in berlin.
Berlin. Is there an area similar to the Ramblas in Barcelona or Covent Garden in London where street performer
You can see them in areas such as next to the Gedechnis Kirche (on KuDamm) - there is a famous guy overthere (personally I think that something is a bit off with him), Hackescher Markt, or sometimes in the vacinity of the Brandenburger Tor.
Right now (and every year in August) Berlin's celebrated the "Gauklerfest", a street-performers/clowns festival.

What's a nice, affordable hotel to stay in if i want to spend a few days in covent garden?
Hi maria b,
You may want to try the Lady of Good Hope.
Nice clean place, a little sparse, but very cheap.
They hire out tents in their garden for just £2 per night and you will be very close to the convent.
For breakf . . . . . . . . oh, sorry - COVENT!
oops!

Cheap and Covent Garden aren't words you'll find together in many sentences. There may be an online guide that will help you out, but generally good hotels in Central London won't be cheap.

Nice place for lunch in London?
Im thinking of asking this girl i like out. I was thinking of lunch in Central London, perhaps around covent garden (doesn't need to eb here hust some where nice and central). Im only 17 so wouldn't want to pay much more than £20 per person. Any ideas?
Nice place for lunch in London?
Make her lunch and take her to the park for a picnic thing. It's cheaper and it will mean more to her that you took the time to do it. Plus, you'll probably have a great time, too.
Reply:There is an Austrian cafe near the Smithfields meat market I found by accident, which is incredibly charming and not expensive, but have an early lunch or it will be full (it's quite small). It's called Kipferl, after the pastry. http://www.kipferl.co.uk/ is the page for it, with instructions how to get there:
kipferl is located at 70 long lane, london EC1A 9EJ,
between the Barbican Center and Smithfield Market.
The nearest tube station is Barbican.
Or there's the Hummus Brothers, who have several restaurants now. They serve mostly hummus with different food in the centre of a ring of hummus. It's extremely nice food and very cheap and I love it.
http://www.hbros.co.uk/ is their site and http://www.hbros.co.uk/findus/ is how to get there.
Both places will feed you very well for in the region of a tenner a head.
I hope this helps.
Reply:Try a Northern Indian ,Iranian or Lebanese restaurant.Your girl will be impressed and you will not burn a hole in your pocket.
Reply:Impress her with your knowledge of a cool new place to eat in Covent Garden called Wahaca. The food is excellent and very good value

Reply:It has been my experience that the best place to eat in England is at a Pub.
If you have nice weather and a Pub that has ouside seating take her there.
Reply:I'd take her to Borough market on a friday or saturday (check opening times online) and have fun with the free samples of delicious food and then buy some hot food from a stall and go sit in the sun with everyone else.

The Capitalization of Britain?
It is very, very disheartening to see the passing of both the Theatre Museum, Covent Garden and the Redgrave Theatre in (I think) Leatherhead.
In the 25 years that I`ve lived in this country I have witnessed the savage capitalization of its resources including, sadly, the arts. And it is with greatest and most profound sadness that I witness the termination of both the Theatre Museum, Covent Garden as well as the Sir Michael Redgrave Theate.
The Theatre Museum was, I believe, free or else there was a nominal charge.
Saddest of all this termination is indicative of a trend; and a trend derived I might add but not particularise from foreign interests. The V%26amp;A, for instance, of which the Theatre Museum is a part, has set levels of membership and only the gold members (who pay about £250 pa) get to go to the noshes and posh parties. Previously anyone who was a member got to participate in the fun stuff.
There are two ways of looking at things: with blinkers and without.
The Capitalization of Britain?
Sadder still is the Lowry Theatre in Salford that was built in a regeneration area with public money, which tries it's damndest to exclude local youth whilst lavishing freebies on the luvvies.
The blinkers are firmly on in Salford. Same day, different track....
Reply:If you want it....you pay for it. simple as that
Reply:Don't worry, we'll be economically bankrupt within a generation. Hold Tight.
Reply:And the question is what?
Reply:The problem with "art" in this country is that it's losing it's popularity through being utter tripe. Someone leaves a bed unmade, or pile sup rubbish, or flicks a light on and off and then claims it to be art and "representational".
Frankly the tosh people turn out these days is it any wonder people no longer give a damn about it? A messy collection of wire hangers bent into a shape that doesn't look like anything does NOT represent the shattered and sharded mind of the creator, it represents someone's dumb enough to hand this muppet a grant while he sits out back of TopShop banging all the discarded hangers together.
If you want something to save art in Britain, try reintroducing art to Britain first, cos there sure as hell ain't nothing to write home about here!
Reply:I agree, the elites are being even greedier than normal.
With the death of any form of social political system to counter the ravening trough feeders there will inevitably be an increase in the things you describe and much worse NHS etc etc etc.
It is a sad fact that the blinker trade has never had it so good....
