A cast of the West End's biggest cabaret performers deliver an excellently choreographed show whilst the kitchen here rustles up a menu of truly delectable dishes.  

Get silly on your next night out and head to the Bloomsury Bowling Lanes for an evening of bowling, karaoke, cocktails and ping pong. A great idea for birthdays, team parties or even just a dull Friday, this venue in central offers one of the best alternative nights out in London.

The perfect alternative night out in London for music lovers, the Toulouse Lautrec Jazz Club offers a fantastic programme of quirky events and live performances across a whole range of themes.

It's never just a standard night at Queens. Sure, you can just come for the MEATliquor food and cocktails from the bar, but you'd be missing out on the ice skating rink and 12 bowling alleys.

Your mates + a darts board + plenty of drinks = a great night out; it's not rocket science. Well actually, it is. Flight Club's pioneering approach fuses real-time scoring, animated features and a slick interface to bring something completely different to London's social scene.
