Live the night intensely, and find out where to party in London!
You may have enjoyed London by day, visiting its parks and museums, and touring the city. But if after these walks, and a refreshing shower, you are willing to go out for a few drinks or visit the most famous clubs in London and you still do not know where the glamor of this city is hidden, continue reading this article to make your nights as intense as your days.
Soho
Soho is London’s most intercultural, bohemian, and liveliest neighborhood. This mile of narrow alleys is considered one of the most fashionable areas of the center of the English capital, where the most exclusive restaurants, pubs, clubs, and shops are, with some neon-lit sex shops as well. It is also considered the gay district of London. We can freely say that the adult industry in London has been flourishing in the past years.
Soho was not always a fun, modern neighborhood. It became the residence of the British aristocracy in the seventeenth century, a block from brothels and seedy bars until 1986 when the English police decided not to renew the license to all those premises that were not worthy of such a famous city. Thus, the sex shops and brothels decreased, and modern apartments, nightclubs, and various shops were built, although they still coexist with places for adult pleasure.
In addition to being a gay neighborhood, Soho is a multicultural and bohemian neighborhood because many immigrants have chosen it as their home in London. There is also the famous Chinatown you shouldn’t miss seeing. Soho is undoubtedly the London site with the most extensive mix of races and cultures in the entire city.
The following is the list of top 11 VIP Nightclubs and bars in London:
1. Jazz Cafe Camden
