A concept that's swept through Britain's nightlife scene over the past decade and showing no sign of slowing down, silent discos are unique club nights, free of eardrum shattering speakers and run solely on wireless headphones. With most offering more than one channel of music, long gone are the days of dragging your mates between different rooms of music. And with London being the ever-adventurous city that it is, there's always a bit of quirk in the air at these events. So without further ado, here's our guide to the best silent discos in London.
