If you must go, drink at the Weatherspoons pub which is cheaper than anywhere else. A place for bored tourists, expensive drinks and not as good as it looks in this photo More

The square itself is scruffy and has horrible chain restaurants and cinemas. It's been boarded up for ages and hope it improves for the Olympics when it'll be unveiled. More

A very popular place with tourists, too much if you're just passing by and if you don't want to fight with the crowds. You can catch some of the best shows around here but if you want to relax please don't go close. More
