London’s nightlife scene is one of the best in Europe. But with new clubs opening all the time, the best clubs in London are sometimes hard to find. Here are my picks for best London clubs, be they shiny and new or tried-and-true:
Maddox
Secluded and exclusive, Maddox in Mayfair is tucked away in a corner of narrow Maddox Street. With two small-ish floors, the space gets crowded quickly, but the outdoor patio is great for catching your breath if things get too steamy inside.
Cuckoo Club
Right off Regent Street, Cuckoo Club is ideally located in central London. Open until 4am and serving up cocktails on two floors, Cuckoo Club is a great option for a night of clubbing in London. There is also a restaurant there if you want to have dinner before hitting the dance floor.
Whisky Mist
Popular with visiting celebrities and London’s jet set, Whisky Mist is all exclusivity and glamour, and is one of the best London clubs. With a bar lining one whole wall and several rooms with music and dancing, you can party the night away with the beautiful people at Whisky Mist.
Kensington Roof Gardens
When the weather is nice, no London club is better than Kensington Roof Gardens. As the name implies, this swanky place is all garden glam on the top of a building off Kensington High Street. While there, you can sip champagne under the stars and dance the night away to the sounds of London’s top DJs.
Mahiki
Taking tiki kitsch to a whole new level, Mahiki in St. James’s is the place to be for island-loving clubbers. Start with a Treasure Chest, Mahiki’s signature cocktail that serves 10, then head to the lower ground floor for dancing.
Boujis
The favourite of the young royals, Boujis is as hard to get into now as it was the day it opened. Small and perennially packed with Europe’s most fashionable partiers, Boujis is the jewel in the crown of the capital’s nightlife scene, and is definitely one of the best London clubs.
