All London Nightlife

Our Local Experts say:

Pubs are a social necessity. Some are quiet and civilised where ladies and gentlemen frequent for a few ales, while others are all lights and glamour that love to rip up the dancefloor on Friday nights. In London, both are there for the taking.

Take any city in the world and you're likely to find hundreds of alehouses. In London, this is definitely the case. London pubs are the social glue - they're fantastic meeting places for old friends or people seeking new ones. Take The Abbeville, for example or, The Gun. Some are more secluded, while others present themselves with their chests out and a big grin on their faces. Either way, you won't be disappointed with a good London boozer.
