As the title says, I'm studying in London for 2 months starting next week. I've got a couple questions: 1.) I've got tickets for The Smyths at the O2 in Islington. Has anyone here been to one of their shows? How are they? 2.) I'm going to try to see as many Smiths landmarks as I can. I've got a list in my head but want to get it solidified soon. What do you guys recommend?
Thanks!

Didn't expect something this nuanced. Thank you, very helpful!
Enjoy!
The Smyths are incredible- seen them three times now. Brilliant band and honestly very hard not to lose yourself in one of their shows and imagine you’re actually seeing the real deal.
Fuck London. The Smiths are from Manchester. Come up here.
That's the plan, Dave.
Genuinely mate I live at n a car. If you get stuck let me know.
Make sure you book a train from Euston to Manchester at some point. The Smiths are from Manchester and I'm pretty sure you could find some tours up there especially for The Smiths!
Majority of landmarks are in Manchester. Definitely check out Morrissey's house, and the Salfords Lads Club. Im sure theres an Iron Bridge pretty close to Morrissey's House where a bunch of fans have written Smiths Lyrics on it.

I’ve seen the Smyths about 5 times now and they’ve been amazing every time, closest thing you’ll get to the real thing in my opinion. Definitely be worth it and always a good night.
