Nobody wants to pay a ludicrous amount of money on entry fees to London clubs. A cocktail can be worth its weight in gold and a taxi fare at the end of the evening for sore feet is irreplaceable, but when it comes to door charge, the cheaper the better. In London, it is hard to find free entry when clubs have so much to offer past that red velvet rope, but in some choice clubbing spots you get a lot of tunes, rooms and spectacles for your dollar. Here is our guide to the best cheap entry fee clubs in London.
