Going Out? How about you head over to...

Soho, Absolute Ice Bar and Hoxton Square

This will be a list that I add to... but for now... 

East End: Shoreditch, Hoxton Square (Mother Bar and Blue Kitchen) and Old Street. (That is kind of repetitious because they are all overlapping areas, but it's good to know their names) There are a lot of places to go. Just walk around and into any of them. 

Soho: Soho is very popular so I am sure you've heard of it. You are spending more money, but there are great restaurants and upscale bars. And don't forget about about Dean Street! It has a lot of jazz clubs. Soho and Old Compton Street are popular on the gay scene, which might even be more of a reason to go in my opinion... 

Snooty Booty/Pay on entry: Regent and Piccadilly Street! Though you might be spending some more moola you are guaranteed a fun night out. This area of London is a lot of fun. This includes Soho. Note: This is a popular area so go one night, but don't miss out on the other great places the locals would suggest! Ice Bar is a lot of fun and off of Regents Street... 15 pounds cover.  http://www.belowzerolondon.com/

Indie/Retro: Camden! Dodgy, hold onto your purse, but great bars and clubs in the market. Camden is alive during both day and night!

Parsons Green/Fulham: You might encounter some snooty people (boys from Eaton), but it's a young scene. The White Horse Pub, aka "Sloaney Pony", is pretty lively at night and ver popular.

Notting Hill: I did not spend too many evenings in Notting Hill, but one of the ones I did was a blast! Notting Hill Arts Club! Go, go, go! This lil gem is so much fun. One of the nights I went there it was a Michael Jackson vs. Prince night. Clutch.. to say the least.
