Hit These 7 Clubs While You're In London
1. XOYO
Street art decor and popular live dj’s make XOYO one of London’s most popular clubs. With concerts as well as DJ nights, this large club brings crowds to its notorious venue. XOYO generally plays house or electronic music in its two floors of madness. The club can get expensive — but is well worth it!
Address: 32-37 Cowper St, London EC2A 4AP, United Kingdom
2. Prince of Wales
This festival-like outdoor bar has two floors of artificial-grass lined bar areas. Drinks, burgers, and an array of hip twenty-somethings sitting on the grass make this club perfect for a relaxing summer night. The dj and dancing gets going outside as the night goes on, but downstairs and inside there’s a bumping and charmingly grimy dimly-lit club.
Address: 467- 469 Brixton Rd, London SW9 8HH, United Kingdom
3. The Nest
This club lives up to its name, as when you leave, you’ll look like you’ve climbed out of one. Small, packed, and steamy, The Nest gives one of the wildest club nights in London. At Dalston’s finest, UK grime and hip-hop are the name of the game — so get ready to dance! Wear sneakers…
Address: 36 Stoke Newington Rd, Dalston, London N16 7XJ, United Kingdom
4. Supa Dupa Fly
This club night takes you back to the 90s and early 2000s with hip-hop and r&b. The nostalgia brings the crowd together for a Destiny’s Child, Outkast and Biggie filled night. Supa Dupa Fly hosts club nights all over London, switching things up and keepin’ it real. It’s super. It’s duper. It’s fly. One of London’s best hip-hop nights!

5. Oslo
In a former railway station, this Hackney club takes you on a trip.
