Church

There is a theatre just outside central London known as the Forum. Some rather wiley capitalists here in the UK realized that the key to maximizing real estate is to book as many events as possible in one space. As a result, on Sundays the Forum hosts an event known as 'Church'. It is a little like how many college campuses in the States have a bar nearby called 'The Library'. That way, kids can tell their mums that they spent Friday night at 'the library' and she'll feel proud of her offspring, not realizing that Friday night involved 7 shots of Yaegermerister. In any event, promptly at noon on Sunday, Church opens, to relatively cheap beer, numerous Australians, loud thumping dance music, contests, strippers, and riotously good fun. At noon. On Sunday. By half four, the streets outside are filled with crazily drunk people, stopping off at the chipper, or heading on to the next place (Walkabout in Shepherd's Bush is quite popular).

What kind of a city has ritualized all day benders on Sunday? My kind of city.
