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, or even a Bollywood club night, check out our recommendations for clubbing in London.




SUPA DUPA FLY

Taking over some of London's most iconic venues, from vintage ballrooms to rooftops bars, Supa Dupa Fly has a reputation for throwing epic parties. Expect a carefully curated soundtrack from the city's greatest RnB DJs along with cheap drinks deals and sleek backdrops. 

Queen of Hoxton

Queen of Hoxton is really up there when it comes to the best clubs in London. Not only does it have a packed-out event schedule, but the venue itself is a maze of different areas to discovers, from the intimate underground rooms to the sky-high sprawling rooftop.

Faces Nightclub Events

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.

Take your pick from genre themed brunches, from R&B to soul, funk and disco, or get down to old school raver reunions. Whenever you hit the dancefloor, expect epic tunes and a famous face or two.

Paloma Chelsea

If your weekend plans demand a little glamour and a lot of energy, Paloma Chelsea is the West London club shaking up the nightlife scene.

Every weekend, this sleek spot hosts three unmissable parties: The Thursday Edit for those who like to start the celebrations early, Paloma's Playground on Fridays for high-energy vibes and late-night beats, and Saturday Spotlight - the headline event that draws London's most stylish crowd. Expect top DJs, glittering interiors, and a dancefloor made for letting loose until the early hours. Think of it as the place where Chelsea chic meets clubbing heat.

Stereo

For a more layered take on London clubbing, STEREO offers a night that evolves with the hours. Evenings begin with live music from the house band, before DJs step in with sets that run into the early hours.

The venue itself is built for the night out: a central cocktail bar in constant motion, a main stage anchoring the space, and a restaurant serving dishes from chef Andrew Clarke (Acme Fire Cult), meaning you can start with burgers and cocktails before heading straight to the dancefloor. 

Ministry of Sound

Nestled in the vibrant Elephant & Castle area, Ministry of Sound has been shaping the clubbing scene since 1991. As London's longest-serving dance floor, it's a landmark for clubbers who love the thumping bass of house music.

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.

Brixton Jamm

Our London clubbing guide wouldn't be complete without The Brixton Courtyard. Expect everything from disco specials and hip hop house parties to quiz nights and themed daytime events.

Northern Soul at the Rivoli Ballroom

Enjoy a clubbing experience with a retro twist at Northern Soul nights in the Rivoli Ballroom. The sprung maple dance floor and vintage charm create the ultimate venue for getting your groove on, as the London Soul Stompers spin the finest Northern Soul tracks from the '60s and '70s.

Resident DJ Mr Max, joined by legends Ian Levine and Val Palmer, makes sure the beats keep coming all night, giving London's clubbers a truly energetic night out.

Bar Rumba

One of the best places to party in London, this Piccadilly club brings together cheap drinks, affordable entry and banging tunes every night of the week. Head down with gang and prepare to keep going until late into the night.
