Dedicated ravers, alight here and head north for Shoreditch – home to XOYO, The Horse & Groom, Village Underground and more of London’s best clubs. Everyone else, pile off for sophisticated cocktails from Worship Street Whistling Shop, Joyeux Bordel and Discount Suit Company. And don’t forget to line your stomach at Duck & Waffle or Polo 24 Hour Bar, both serving food around the clock.

Though it’s lost a few late-night venues over the last few years, Soho isn’t short of nightlife – from famous places like Café Boheme (3am) and Bar Italia (5am) to newer arrivals such as Balans (6am) and El Camion (3am). Try your luck at exclusive and raunchy nightclub The Box, dance to indie music at St Moritz or headbang at metalhead hang-out Crobar. Let’s hope the night tube helps London’s other square mile keep the party going for decades to come.
