Head into the capital city as the sun sets and you'll be greeted with endless heaving nightclubs and booming party bars. Brimming with high-tech sound systems, some of the most sought after names in the DJ business and dance floors that move with the weight of the bass alone, there's nowhere else quite like it. Whether you want the full VIP experience or are looking for a cheap night out, check out our recommendations for clubbing in London.




SUPA DUPA FLY x R'n'B LDN

The club's rich history and dedication to sound quality have made it a haven for electronic music fans, and with an expansion to include day parties, there's now even more reason to head down and join the fun.

Legendary Essex nightspot Faces is the place to be for much more than packed dancefloors and big-name DJs. Its regular events are sure to get you through the door too.
