That's a bit suspect. Why are the shop signs written backwards? Spot the Ladbroke sign written from right to left. Also, 8pm is too early for night revellers, Colchester doesn't get going till 10 and goes on till around 2am when the clubs close, that's when you get the drunken youths having fun.
I was in London last weekend and around midnight at King's Cross it was heaving with people, pubs and bars were packed out. I was even chatted up by two 18year old drunk girls in a pub who wanted to 'rest' in my hotel room. (I declined their advances)
