		Mayor and Transport for London outline importance of transport for the future of London and the UK "The essential projects for Transport for London include completing the rebuilding of the Tube through the PPP, the building of Crossrail, and expanding the bus network by a further 40 per cent."
		I didn't live in London at the time and I didn't know what to expect from the Astoria and I remember thinking how great it was having such a brilliant venue smack bang in the centre of town (I was used to either pokey pubs or giant, out of town stadiums).

	Queensryche - London Astoria
		Having travelled down to London to see the Brides Of Destruction the previous night, it was an opportunity too good to miss to see Queensryche at the Astoria.
		I must admit to feeling a little trepidation wondering is the true class and musicianship of Queensryche would get lost after the euphoria and the rock and roll extravagance of the Brides show, however as it turned out this show was equally as good, but for different reasons.
		For a two day road trip to London this was an exceptional experience and one I will not forget for a long long time.

		I have tried to get into G-A-Y @ London Astoria several times with friends of mine who are also gay and have been turned away as we are not regulars or members.

	London Astoria, 21/12/03 Gig Review
		From the Angel pub we hit the Astoria, bit of a search at the entrance but nothing too heavy and it was quite cool in the venue too.
		Astoria '03 is going to go down in history as one of the real classics IMHO.
		The barcodeless version sold at the Astoria was a limited pre-release edition of 500 that only arrived that day (hence the lack of pre-publicity).

		No official plans for the site have been announced, but the Astoria could also be subject to a compulsory purchase order for the Crossrail project.
		It's a great shame that one of London's best known music venues is destined to disappear but I suspect that more people will be please to see it go than want it to stay.

		As vibrant as our local scene is, there is frankly no competing with the capital when it comes down the sheer choice of venues to suit any band’s ambience.
		As one of the few surviving spit-level theatre-style venues you couldn’t pick a more appropriate venue for tonight’s showcase of all that is gloriously over-the-top than the Astoria.
		The thought dawns that whoever measured the capacity of The Astoria, had done so using multiples of Brett Andersons rather than portly middle-aged punks.
