BARS & CLUBS
new in 60by80
DIU
The mean, lean, muscle-bound streets of Soho get a brand new, straight, clubbing experience which promises to be ‘boutique’.
Hoxton Pony
Where posh folks flock when they want a stylised taste of the edgy Shoreditchian scene, designer guest DJs and cocktails in teacups.
Paramount
The best view in (and of) the city. Especially by night when seen from the vantage point of your Tom Dixon chair, drink in hand.
Punk
Anarchy that doesn’t take itself at all seriously draws a blend of pretty fashionistas, media darlings and arty types in trainers.
Electricity Showrooms
Keeping the East End lit up and hipster indie types bopping about to electro mixed with 50s style rockabilly.
Shoreditch House
Like any good exclusive retreat, it looks like a disused fire station from the outside but, once you’ve made the ascent, Soho’s sister is all so cool it hurts.
Soho House
The members-only media meeting spot leaves the poolside antics and celebrity crowds to Shoreditch, for a beautifully appointed, relaxing hideaway.
Bistrotheque
A tongue-in-cheek homage to pint-sized power house Napoleon, is a fun spot for a drink, and the no hen or stag do door policy is a Godsend.
The Hospital
For the slick not the sick. Whoever said media types were humourless w*nkers had clearly never been to this multi-faceted centre split over five levels.
Fabric
No longer a mainstay of the gay clubbing scene but this massive superclub continues to attract the best DJs and a vibrating floor that’ll get you going.
Momo’s & Kemia
Shisha pipes and shady nights. Chill out on low slung ottomans amongst oversized cushions in the dim, lantern-lit space below the main restaurant.
Vortex
Contemporary jazz den. There’s a new generation of jazz musicians afoot - and they’ve been hanging out at Vortex.
Sketch
Like living inside a Faberge egg. Continuing to pull in the style crowd who love Mourad Mazouz’s slightly OTT vision.
Milk & Honey
Secret speakeasy behind the black door where this modern speakeasy is all dim lighting, dark booths and superbly mixed cocktails.
The Queen of Hoxton
A little something for everyone. Like a youth club for an adult generation of Eastenders, this Queen graciously reigns from her recently overhauled venue.
Ronnie Scott’s
The line up is always varied and exciting, the atmosphere as dimly lit and smoky as you’d hope, and the crowd a mix of old-time reverends and newbie followers.
