London's nightlife is vast and varied - historic superclubs, a deep bar culture and districts that each carry their own scene. It's a year-round, all-genres city: Shoreditch and the East End for the cool end, Soho for the central buzz, and landmark clubs like fabric for the all-nighters.

The party scene

fabric and Ministry of Sound are the institutional clubs; Shoreditch and Dalston in the East End hold the contemporary scene; Soho is the dense central hub; Camden covers the live and alternative side. A genuinely all-genre, all-week city.

When to go

Year-round indoor nightlife. Summer adds festivals and terraces; December is a peak for the party-season crowds.
