Stag parties could take in north London derby

Stag parties in London this weekend may enjoy one of the capital's famous sporting spectacles by travelling to the north of the city.

Arsenal play host to bitter local rival's Tottenham Hotspur at 12:45 GMT and a trip to the Emirates Stadium could be the perfect warm-up for a night on the town.

One man who has played for both sides is Spurs winger David Bentley, who found himself at White Hart Lane after leaving the Gunners to join Blackburn Rovers.

The England international is set to make his first league start of the season and coach Harry Redknapp explained that he expects big things from the local lad.

"He's looking forward to going back to Arsenal where he started out so it's a big game for him," the manager told BBC News.

Those in the capital on a stag weekend have a number of potential party destinations.

A Brick Lane curry may spice things up a little, while a trip to Soho could provide an interesting diversion.

Camden and Kentish Town also provide a number of alternative and trendy drinking dens, frequented by celebrities such as Amy Winehouse.
