Remember when we told you about #FriendsFest - the Friends-themed festival in East London's Brick Lane that had its own Central Perk, a replica of Monica's apartment and tickets that sold like hotcakes?

Well if you missed out on a chance to go, we've got images of what it looks like inside. The launch happened last night, and Grazia Daily were invited along - and alongside Gunther from the show (aka James Michael Tyler), we got a sneak peek at this replica of the* Friends* world in all its glory.

Fans could also see the 'White China Dog' from the show, alongside a Rachel's Hair Salon, Monica and Chandler's wedding invites and vows, and the Geller cup, as well as a foosball table, recreation of the famous fountain from the TV show's title sequence and lazy boy chairs.

James Michael Tyler commented, “It’s amazing to think that Friends is still as popular today, as it was 21 years ago when we first started. Comedy Central’s FriendsFest brings together some of the most iconic sets and props from the show and I’m certain fans will love. I feel extremely nostalgic being back in Monica’s apartment and Central Perk.”

Update: MORE tickets for 'FriendsFest' are going on sale!

Remember how exicted we were that a Friends Festival was coming to London's Brick Lane Boiler Room, with its own Central Perk and replica of Monica's apartment? And how devastated we were when tickets sold out in approximately three seconds? In the words of Chandler: Could we BE any more upset?

Well now Comedy Central UK has confirmed that they are releasing more £5 tickets for sale - this Thursday at 1pm. Visit www.comedycentral.co.uk/friendsfest at that date to be in with a chance of snapping one up!

Calling all Friends fans: Ever wanted to hang out at Central Perk, or swing by Monica's apartment? Well now you can - thanks to FriendsFest, an interactive festival held next month in London. Could we BE any more excited?

Attractions will include the Central Perk-inspired cafe (so you can sip lattes served by a Gunther wannabe), getting your hair did like Rachel Green at a blow dry bar, spying on "Ugly Naked Guy" from Monica's apartment and exploring props and memorabilia from the iconic sitcom. We're planning on playing a game of foosball and reclining in one of Joey's Lazy Boy chairs.

The "celebration of one of the greatest sitcoms of all time" runs in the capital at the Boiler House in Brick Lane from September 16-20, and tickets are only £5 each. We're hoping the attraction is more true to the show than the New York version of Central Perk, which famously disappointed some of the more hardcore fans.

Get tickets from www.comedycentral.co.uk/friendsfest - they go on sale at midday today.

And if you can't make it to London, Comedy Central UK will be repeating all 236 episodes of Friends on weekdays starting from Monday, August 24.
