London is known for its unique party life.
Parties in London are always wild, unique, and untamed. From Ministry of Sound’s stellar tunes to fabric’s bullet-hard techno beats, a fun night out is always guaranteed.
Here’s your essential guide to London’s party life in 10 pictures.
Nothing beats a clubbing session at fabric.
After it rose from the ashes of a former meatpacking warehouse, fabric has garnered the reputation of a trailblazer in London’s electronic scene. Numerous roaring names from the techno realm took over fabric’s DJ booth, including the likes of Anz and Simo Cell.
Featuring the finest sound system and deepest grooves in the capital, fabric spans across three different rooms. It might feel like an underground labyrinth (it’s not far from being one), but the Ibiza-inspired music repertoire will make it feel like your second home.
International people travel all the way to London just to get their fabric dose – so a lot of tourists are going to flock to the dance floor.
Disco nights are okay – but they are something else when Electric Brixton organizes them.
Electric Brixton is one of the few London venues where the party lasts from dusk to dawn. But that’s not the only reason why hundreds of crowds flock to this music mecca’s dance floor.
Famous for its annual Brixton Disco Festival, this bad boy can guarantee you a groovy night you won’t be able to forget too soon.
As a go-to clubbing spot for locals, Electric Brixton is a top choice for Londoners when hunting for a dancing destination.
On the hunt for an unrivaled clubbing experience right at Shoreditch’s heart? XOYO’s Pleasurehood parties should be ticked off your London bucket list.
Thanks to its industrial vibe, the multi-faced venue has a lot of character to it. But the cherry on top is the diverse array of music genres that bump through the speakers – whatever music taste you have, XOYO has a playlist for it.
If we were to speak about the predominant genre, electronic beats is the winner – so every EDM devotee will spend his weekend on XOYO’s dancefloor.
Your night out in London wouldn’t be complete without a party (and maybe an afters as well) at the Ministry of Sound.
Ministry of Sound’s building was once a warehouse – now it’s a vibrant club spanning across four different rooms.
Home to the grooviest house beats in town, this electronic temple club has a calendar full of parties every week – including the hip and trendy Soulection.
The hype surrounding the Ministry of Sound club is massive enough to attract EDM lovers from all over the globe, but Londoners won’t be out of crowd pictures either.
Looking for an unforgettable London party? Cirque Le Soir has it all covered for you.
Far from being your average night out, the untamed Cirque Le Soir is all about extravagance. From burlesque shows to the uber-quirky decor, this upscale club embodies an immersive clubbing-in-a-circus experience.
Showcasing a mixture of pure luxury and quirkiness, Cirque Le Soir is not for the disciplined, but for those that view clubbing as crazily impulsive and outrageously wild.
An unspoken rule says that you have to party like a celebrity at least one time.
Located in the swish Mayfair, this upscale nightclub has seen an overabundance of rock gods, Hollywood stars, and royalty figures pass its doors. Its exclusivity translates into a roaring popularity.
Next time you want to rub shoulders with A-list celebrities, the only thing you must do is get “tramped”.
If you are looking for the ‘it’ London party, Tonteria is your best bet.
The Mexican-style venue is all about being quirky. Having the “Let the fiesta begin” mantra at its core, Tonteria promises whoever passes its door the fiesta of their life – and the clubbing destination doesn’t underdeliver on that note.
With the venue’s parade shows, pinata performances, and tequila shots delivered on a train, Tonteria is a party you should definitely tick off your list. Yes, locals and tourists are both part of the package.
London parties at Cuckoo are not something that someone would want to miss.
The uber-swanky club is jam-packed with energetic souls constantly flocking around the DJ booth. But la creme de la creme of this nightlife venue is the decor – think purple plush sofas and burgundy neons because that’s what Cuckoo is all about.
As you can tell, the club has an overall upscale vibe, so London’s elite is going to be part of the picture too.
If you want a taste of London’s clubbing scene, pop in at The London Reign.
Situated in the city’s heart, the club is synonymous with elegance and opulence. The club knows the art of entertaining – it masterfully shows it through aerial shows and fire dances. Maybe that’s the reason why everyone is cray-cray about it.
Just like Cuckoo, this club is the go-to spot for an elite clientele.
If dancing with drag queens on a Thursday night doesn’t scream London, we don’t know what will.
As the most prominent LGBT club in the capital’s clubbing scene, Heaven brings together queer and straight clubbers.
Expect commercial beats, an underground vibe, and the kind of crowd that compliments your hair in the bathroom. You will make aquintaces with queer people and LGBT-allies on the dancefloor and the bar’s queue.
