Happy Easter ~ Let's Party

Happy Easter everyone!

Thank you to everyone who came to Party in The Park on Soho & Regent's Park region yesterday.  You had the sim at full capacity for over 4 hours.

The BeeGees '73 as the title suggests was a concert of all the songs the trio had written which pre-dated  Saturday Night Fever.   This uptempo concert was hugely popular and for anyone who lives in the UK who wants to see more BeeGee's there is a 2 hour special and concert on BBC1 tonight from 10.25pm UK

Whilst we make no apologies for being a popular destination, we're sorry that not everyone who wanted to attend could get into the region.   Our best advice is to come earlier next time or check our alternate schedule to see when the Bee Gees are playing again, here in Mainland London.

Next weekend, we have two really special events that you will not want to miss!

On Friday we will have a spectacular party starting at 3am PDT to celebrate the Royal Wedding with many surprise guests dropping into Regent's Park to entertain the crowd.   The full line-up will be published during the week.

Next Saturday, for the first time ever in Mainland London....    ABBA in Concert in Regent's Park.

London Zoo in Mainland London

London Zoo to be included in Regent's Park

We are creating an exhibit of the real life London Zoo here in Mainland London's Regent's Park. This exhibit is a representation of the fun and excitement found in the world's oldest zoo.

Although not completed yet, this picture will give you an idea of what is in store.

London Zoo is the world's oldest scientific zoo founded over 180 years ago and can be found in the heart of London, in Regent's Park.

Although this zoo is located in the middle of the city it still has plenty of animals to see including lions, camels, giraffes, penguins, tigers, monkeys and meerkats. In fact there are 750 different species of animals making it  the largest collection of animals in the UK.

The zoo is divided up into many different areas which are great fun to explore and help make it one of London's most popular tourist attractions.

Other attractions such as the Amphitheatre and Regent's Park canal will also be included in this new area of Regent's Park.

My Rentals - Gridwide information system

Many of us rent multiple spaces all over the grid and knowing when payments are due can be a nightmare.

Here in Mainland London, we have a  free to use service, "My Rentals Finder" to make life just a little easier.

Simply click the board and you will receive a private IM that lists all your rentals, everywhere on the grid, informing you of the time remaining, the landlords name and a Slurl so you can TP directly to the rent box.

This system is located by the entrance to the tube station in Soho.   Click here to visit and try it for yourself.

London Gets Bigger





The Soho region of Mainland London has just doubled in size!

Although we have added land to the West End district on a regular basis, Soho was starting to feel really cramped.

Whilst having all shops in both regions rented is great, it also meant that clients who wanted store space were unable to open their brand here as we had nothing available for them to rent.

Here in Mainland London, we were always keen to avoid the mistakes of others; ghost towns with whole sims of land, empty shops, no footfall and little to no following.   We started off small and have added land as it has been required.   However we didn't add it quick enough for Soho and we just plain ran out of room!

Today we have remedied that, by adding another half sim to the Soho district of Mainland London.

This will enable us to expand Regent's Park, add more stores, an amphitheatre, housing and better facilities for those who visit us on a regular basis.

Building work has already begun and we hope to have this additional land up and running by the month end.

Thank you for making Mainland London such a tremendous success.

This Saturday: Dolly Parton in Concert

Dolly Parton in Concert on Saturday 9th April in her first ever appearance in Mainland London.

Also on Friday,  Neil Diamond and Barry Manilow in concert!

Can't wait until then?   Bar Soho is open 7 nights a week and Star & Garter is open Tuesdays and Thursdays.  Madame Lala's open Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
