Whether you fancy bottomless brunch complete with 2Pac and Doja Cat beats, themed karaoke for belting out your favourites or a chance to get down to DJs while diving into a ball pit, our guide has you covered. From old school hits to the latest tunes and a side-order of RnB, the best hip hop events in London have it all.




SUPA DUPA FLY

You'll find hip hop, RnB, bashment and afrobeat club nights or bottomless brunches all across London, thanks to Supa Dupa Fly. Grab all your mates and head on over to these top venues to dance the night (or day) away.

Aquum

If you're looking to escape, Clapham's go-to venue south of the river has you covered, with epic tunes and three rooms to let loose in. Dance to chart-topping hits and House faves, with guest DJs bringing the energy.

Aqumm's Feel Good Fridays are all about R&B, hip hop, and Afrobeats, and Seductive Saturdays keep that vibe going with a commercial spin. Gather your friends and secure your tickets - some are free, so get yours before they're gone.

Blingo - Hip Hop Bingo

@ O'Neill's Wardour Street on Thursday 1st October 2026

Joined by her 87-year-old DJ (and part-time lover) Harry Spelvin, she's serving up a night of classic hip hop beats, lip sync battles, dance offs and plenty of bling. Tickets are limited and will sell out - snap yours up from just £13.20.

Ballie Ballerson London

Hip hop and RnB events in London, with a ball pit to boot? It can only be Ballie Ballerson Shoreditch. Sip through cocktails inspired by retro sweets, munch pizza or simply dance the night away while diving into the glowing adult playground.

Their Big Mood Saturdays are well worth a visit, promising non-stop tunes from DJ Theo Stay Hungry - with entry starting from only £5 per person.

Brixton Jamm

Hip hop at Brixton Jamm comes in the form of DJs, poppin' terrace parties and a range of Carnival-inspired specials that include a dash of reggae, afrobeats or dancehall. To add a bit of a variety to your South London night out, this is the place to head.

What's The Motive

The scene for hip hop in London is dominated by What's The Motive, whose parties span all day and city-wide. From huge warehouse raves to bottomless brunches with an old school playlist, these guys know how to throw a themed bash.
