London Nightlife Tips by redhotwax

Nightlife Spot: Hippodrome

Well.. what can you say about the 'world famous' Hippodrome? I would say it's a place you'd want to avoid!

Overpriced cover charge, we paid 14 pounds to get in and another 2 for the coat check. And that's just getting in! The drinks are massively overpriced, at about 6 pounds for a bottle of beer. The music choice is most fitting for 16 year olds, and that's pretty much the crowd you'll find! Very young crowd, at least it was on the Saturday night we visited.

Try Fabric instead, especially if you're over 18.

Nightlife Spot: Everywhere in London

London is full of little gems of pubs. When you're there, you should try to spend a few hours in the pubs, especially when the football is on. Ideally this means on a Saturday afternoon during the season (August-May).

A real fun thing I did with my friends was to alight at some random underground stations and find the nearest pub and simply get a pint of lager and soak up the atmosphere.

There are some pretty cool tips on this site regarding pub crawls, ranging from getting lunch to getting completely wasted by playing pubcrawl games. Whatever your needs, London has plenty to offer, and the pubs should not be missed.
