An acquaintance of mine is heading for London on business on the 10th, and wants to know if the area around Slimelight is sketchy..? He's looking to book a hotel ASAP, and isn't sure about what areas are cool/crappy/boring, etc. Since I'm pretty clueless about the city, I have no idea what to tell him. Anyone have any advice that I might pass along? Thanks!

Slimelight is in Islington which is quite a nice area, there are a few estates n things nearby but its no different than any area in London, safe enough and they are well used to goths in fancy dress too
google hotels in Islington, there's also a holiday inn on old street which is about a fifteen min walk away. actually around old street is much cooler also islington is very central and easily accesable with good transport links so staying anywhere central is gonna make it easy to get to. avoid kings cross cos its boring and dodgyish. if you need more help I will look up some hotels for you.

Yeah, Islington is not really a crappy area. Its on the Northern line of the underground, putting you with in easy reach of both the west end and camden.
Never stayed the night in Islington, other than in Slimes: The cheapest hotel in london.
