visiting London - clubs etc

Hi,
I'm visiting London with 5 of my friends the 18-21 of januari.
Do you guys have any suggestions on what clubs to visit? It doesn't have to be strictly EDM since I'm the only fanatic one of us 6, but any big and famous club would be nice!

Also, do you have any suggestions on what fun to do besides shopping during the days? (cheap things since we're poor students ) We have all already been in London when we were younger and have already seen Buckingham Palace and Big Ben etc

I'm thankful for any information!



ps. I have read the sticky ds.

Turmills in Farringdon in by far the best club for trance, Fabric is also nearby. Ministry of sound in the Elephant & Castle area but have never been myself. I'm sure that there's loads of other good clubs in London but can't think of any more off the top of my head.

Places to go

The London Eye
Tower Of London

A sightseeing tour bus trip might give you some ideas.

Yeh turnmills will be good that friday night with ferry corsten, also dance aid in SE1's could be a good one on the saturday, its londons biggest club and a bit of an experience with 3000 people in an underground carpark

full event list here

Definitly worth checking out the london eye during the day, or covent garden if your up for a bit of mid afternoon drinking

Dance Aid will be shit, the lineup is awful imo, too much garage.

You're better off with The Gallery at Turnmills on the 19th with Ferry Corsten playing a 4 hour set and Abel Ramos will also be playing.

Fabric the next day (saturday) will be a tech house affair, if you like that sort of thing.

Oh and for touristy things check out the Millenium Eye, the Tate Modern art gallery, Camden town for the market, and maybe the Science museum.

Yeah Camden is great if you like headhops/legal high stands. The whole town seems to be populated by headhops, tattoo parlours, punks and mad streets preachers

London has loads of big parks for chilling out in as ell.

saturday nights at fabric
doesn't matter who's on, just fucking go

Turnmills on friday with Ferry sounds like a good idea
Is there any other big clubs that will give an experience even if the music sucks? My friends wont go to more than this EDM-event.. so anything else is fine too for the other nights, as long as the place is nice and with a good atmosphere We're 22-23 yrs old if that matters. Maybe Dance Aid would be better for the whole company, I dunno..
How is Pacha in London?

We wont be doing too much tourism since we've all been in London before, but Camden market amd Covent Garden both seem nice

Any other suggestions?
Thank you for your input so far

If you only go to one night, make it Turnmills!

Try Cargo.

Good club and shoreditch is a good a place as any to go drinking before. Lineups are a bit hit and miss, but the club its self is nice and chilled out.

Cargo is the most protentious pile of shit. Plenty better in Shoreditch.

Avoid the West End ie Soho, Mayfair, Covent Garden for a night out.

Camden market defintately in the day.

Def try to check out Fabric, awesome club.

I have a hard time deciding if I should go to Turnmills or Fabric. I've already seen Ferry both in Sweden and the Netherlands and my interest in trance is pretty low comparing to other EDM genres atm, so that lineup alone wont convince me to go to Turnmills And maybe Fabric is a better club to visit?

So Camden Market in the day it is then!
Still unsure what other "non-EDM"-clubs to visit tho! I need at least one fun night out with my friends so drunk that i dont care/notice what music is playing anyway

Thanks again for the answers

I wouldn't go to Fabric by choice, as the music policy is a bit weirdy beirdy for my liking, but that's just me. As you're interest in trance is pretty low compared to other EDM genres then Fabric would probably be a better bet for you.

if you just want cheesey then somewhere like Loop bar on Bond St is quite fun. also if you want to get hammered consider these places which currently have 50% ALL food and drink during Jan:

Fabric is the better club IMO, I hate everything about Turnmills except the fact play trance

No more so than saturday night fabric.


I went to cargo to see Andy Smith last friday night and I really enjoyed it. Not pretentious at all. Very good crowd.

lol, I don't like the layout much myself, too much of a maze and the rooms are too small. Apart from that it's a great club though.

nic fanciulli, buick project & paolo mojo are @ ministry of sound on the 20th. MoS isn't my fave place by any means, but the lineup's quality!

i stay in camden often and rather like it

Fabrics sound system is second to none.....

Fabric on the Saturday is a must. The room 1 soundsystem is just ridiculous. Amazing club.

I think we'll go to Ministry of Sound after all That might be the club where my "non-edm" friends will have the most fun too i think.

Walkabout is a place several people have recommended for a fun night out, so we'll probably go there too Any other suggestions for a wasted night out?

Thanks again

Club Class at Ministry of Sound should be good. MoS is a bit of a tourist trap however. Fabric is a must. Awesome soundsystem and great music on saturdays. The End and The Cross is two other good venues which might suit none EDM people better.

Hoppas att ni har kul!

Only 15h 'til I'm leaving for the airport

I will try to go to Club Class on MoS this Saturday.. really nice lineup that evening!
But is it okey to buy tickets at the door or do we have to buy presale tickets?

I'll have to check out Fabric, The End and Turnmills some other time when the company is more into edm than my friends this time Airplane tickets (both ways) from Gothenburg cost only ~22�

Thanks for all your suggestions!
