The best clubs in London, in pictures
1/18 Fabric, Farringdon
Fabric feels particularly worthy of inclusion on this list because it is a place saved in London: after its closure in 2016, the clubbers of the capital have mobilized to have it reopened. The campaign helped draw attention to legislation and challenge London's nightlife. Yet, even if none of this had happened, Fabric deserves to be visited. This is the London club, more famous than its counterparts and a real institution. Once you have crossed the airport security checkpoints, you are free to get lost in its underground bowels, without any telephone signal but full of delights of the capital. He regularly draws the world's best DJs, from Seth Troxler to Ben UFO, along with his esteemed residents, Terry Francis and Craig Richards.

2/18 UNDR, Dalston
Clubbing does not necessarily mean losing friends over six floors: UNDR, the newly renovated club that has taken the place of Nest in Dalston, is a pretty small place – a basement with a capacity of 350 people. It's a place to dance seriously, without a bar -posters who are there just to say what they are. The club has always had great sound and lighting, both as Nest and now, dressed in its new skin. There is always a mix of acts, from global names to new independents, with a focus on techno and its various derivatives. Come here to see your favorite DJ or to discover a new one.
3/18 XOYO
This Shoreditch staple has built its reputation on a fairly simple formula: the best music of the best DJs. On two floors, expect good reading lists; XOYO does not store himself, reserving what he likes, as long as it will make people dance (while preserving the cheese). It is for this reason that there is a preference for house and disco, spiced with techno. Residents are still extraordinary, with Ben UFO, Flava D and Motor City Drum Ensemble among the most recent. Keep an eye out for those dirty nights too, which always get a little crazy.

4/18 Egg London, King's Cross
London may not be huge in Ibiza-style clubs, but Egg recalls them on its three floors, with thrilling light shows and bbad, dark rooms and plenty to drink. The highlight for many is the outdoor courtyard; the perfect place to watch the sunrise – they have a 24 hour license, so it's also possible, and you can also have breakfast. It's a bit remote, in this particular industrial area, just north of Kings Cross Station, but it plays quite in its favor: the parties last longer, are stronger and it does not get any better. There are no neighbors to complain. Plus they offer a free shuttle right next to the train station, so it's not too far to walk.

5/18 Corsica, Elephant & Castle Studios
For more than 10 years, Corsica Studios has been an independent, non-profit artistic space that is still popular. It's usually a two-room space, though sometimes divided into three, which hosts some of the most famous club nights in London. They have an iconic Funktion One sound system, and it's a favorite of DJs who go there to party. The space itself, hidden under the arches of the railroad, is small, fascinating, immediate and rough, but that's what makes one of the best, if not the best, small London club. Expect a lot of techno and electro alongside disco, dubstep and drum 'n bbad – its main piece is where everything goes, but unlike Many clubs, you will probably have the same time in his second space.
6/18 Oval Space / Gherkin Plant, Cambridge Heath
Although distinct from each other, we grouped them together because they belong to the same group and face each other. The Pickle Factory – it was once – is the most intimate space with a capacity of 200 people, attracting a very heady crowd that is only there to listen to music (GO London has already seen Floating Points look at Soichi Terada, and if it's not a resounding approval bell, we do not know what is). The oval space space is a much larger affair, covering an area of 5,000 square meters. It's a multi-purpose arena, playing all kinds of things on its first-rate audio system. It is terribly hot there in the summer, but we think it is getting better in many ways. Keep an eye on their website for everything they have; Oval space performs a beautifully prospective program.

7/18 CLF Art Cafe / Bussey Building, Peckham
This warehouse style nightclub has plenty to do on all four levels. It does a little more than just going out of the box, operating night and day and boasting of art, movies, theater and more. As a club, they have everything from house, electro and techno to funk and soul. Do not miss the South London Soul Train on Saturday night or the various disco and boogie nights. A club as diverse as London and a simple dance venue.
8/18 Ministry of Sound, Elephant and Corsica
The Ministry of Sound should be a paradise for all dance fans. Of course, this goes back to 1991, and it is not as advanced as many of its competitors, but it still deserves a visit. Perhaps he has suffered from his megabucks name, but in truth he serves DJs and evenings of the highest order. It is easy to understand why the sound system of the main room was awarded. It's really cool to dance there and suddenly realize that this is the place to send house music around the world.
9/18 Underground Village, Shoreditch
You already know Village Underground, even if you do not realize it: it is the one with the old carts on the roof. It's also attractive inside and out, with its huge skylights and bare brick walls. It would not matter if the music was not great, but it's true: they play a mix of independent music, electronics, hip-hop and more, often the same evening. It contains about 1,000, and 1,000 people tend to be in a good mood. VU speaks only of its atmosphere and seems to host a representative sample of all Londoners, from hip-hop heads to Hoxton hipsters, outside of these lines.

10/18 Phonox, Brixton
Taking over the former Plan B site, Phonox opened its doors in 2015 and quickly established itself as one of London's must-haves. There is an inverted snobbery – no costume, no photo on the dance floor – but comes from the band behind XOYO and the Jazz Cafe, who know what they are doing and have done things right. Opt for techno, house, disco, drum & bbad, electronica and a little funk and soul. We like it for simplicity: a piece, a killer Funktion An audio system and not much else. Accomplished job.

11/18 Printworks, Canada Water
With an area of 6,000 square meters, the Printworks can accommodate 5,000 people and proudly organizes everything from concerts, exhibitions, fashion shows and immersive theater. The cavernous main space is extraordinary, transformed from an old press factory into a twisted metal temple, with a long, narrow dancefloor that seems to spread over and over again. They also always have the best DJs: Seth Troxler, Loco Dice and The Martinez Brothers all played. It seems odd to think that Printworks only opened last year, so much the establishment that it already has become. This is an excellent and brilliant indication that, far from dying, the London club scene continues to evolve.
12/18 The cause, Tottenham
Tottenham is the new address of London clubbers. The North London corner has been largely repressed it's not so long ago, but now with Grow Tottenham, a community garden club with nightclub, Five Miles (more details below) and The Cause, the neighborhood is booming. The latter, opened earlier this year, is the best of the lot. It offers a refreshing DIY atmosphere, with lots of exposed wood and concrete, and a DJ booth slams in the middle of it all, giving every thing a tonic, close and personal feel. The sound system is absolutely badped too. A portion of the club's profits are donated to local mental health charities, which helped him lead the new wave of conscious London clubbers.

13/18 Fold, Canning Town
Fold is a converted printing plant located in an industrial area of Canning Town. Admittedly, it does not look very glamorous, but trust us, it's a wonderful addition to London's nightlife. It offers what is often missing in the capital: marathon club events, which often extend from one afternoon to the next. Although the club did not open until August 2018, it has already earned the reputation of being the perfect place to get lost in the best possible way. This is a place with enormous potential – if you have not already done so, make it a point to get there very quickly.
14/18 The Jazz Cafe, Camden
This Camden location is probably best known for its live events, which attract leading jazz, soul and hip-hop scene artists, but the club nights are also superb. Every Saturday, it hosts the Soul City event, spanning the broad spectrum of disco, house and soul, with a chain of different DJs each week. On Fridays, the program relaxes a little: one week, it could be Turkish pysch-disco, the next, Ghanaian highlife or Arab funk. The joy is to discover. The club itself has a mezzanine restaurant, with a lively and tight dance floor and a small stage underneath.
15/18 Block, Bow
Stuck at the end of a road, yet bbad, to Bow, lined with huge industrial buildings, lies Block. It's a feeling of true isolation, wedged between warehouses and a cbad, which makes it even more enjoyable, allowing guests to glide between the four or four beats that thrill the walls of this place every weekend. A few hundred people can pack their bags inside, but there is always a very intimate atmosphere: get ready to be friendly enough with the people with whom you will be dancing throughout the night until you reach the hotel. at the Sunrise.

16/18 Dalston Superstore, Dalston
LGBTQ sites in London are closing at a worrying pace – a report released last year revealed that more than half of them in the capital had closed their doors in the previous decade . This means that LGBTQ clubs should be more cherished than ever and, with that in mind: Thank God, Dalston Superstore. The nights there are wonderfully fun, with a real sense of community between regulars and the good people who run it. The music can turn from ultra-cheesy pop to ultra-hammering techno, which makes it so great. You have a headache after a night of dancing? Just go back for a brunch that defeats a hangover the next morning.

17/18 Five thousand, seven sisters
Five Miles, the club of Seven Sisters, is another new and exciting venue in North London. It opened in 2017 and quickly became a favorite under the radar. The club's space is small and personal, with a punchy sound system and a friendly, laid-back crowd. The DJ lineup has been impressive so far, with artists like Moscoman and former Phonox resident Haai making appearances. But it's not just music here. There are 18 craft beers on tap – we recommend the Domino Topple of Pressure Drop, which is extremely powerful, but quite delicious, or something from the internal brewery, Affinity Brew. There are also some badtails on tap (£ 6 for a negroni, not bad). Middle Eastern food comes from Torshi. Dinner, drink and dance.
18/18 VFD, Dalston
Dalston has many exceptional rooms in the basement – the UNDR is superb for darker electronic sounds, while Birthdays excels in loud live concerts. The queer VFD club is another underground fun. It's a small place that organizes some pretty disco disco nights, which are invariably sweaty, incredibly groovy and very entertaining. The overall atmosphere of the friendly staff and the inclusive clientele is also fantastic. You always feel welcome, especially if you indulge yourself and indulge in some of the most daring activities that often happen once you are inside.
