Eastcheap is in The City (the oldest part, now mainly a financial district) and not really associated with nightlife. I can recommend a hotel in the Covent Garden area for your next visit.
That's the way of it, isn't it? All the Falstaffs have moved to Stoke or some place. Certainly, I am all ears. Who knows, recommend now. Gonna be around for another day or two until this stuff wraps up.
