London : Nightlife, Restaurants And Bars
London is one of the entertainment capitals of the world and you will find an endless choice of evening activities as well as top-notch restaurants of every ethnicity. Bear in mind that prices are typically higher in London than elsewhere in the country, meaning drinking and dining out isn’t always cheap. Look for happy hour deals and avoid venues located right next to the top attractions.
While many of the city’s bars are trendy affairs, a large percentage of more traditional public houses are on offer for those looking to enjoy a quiet pint. Naughty Soho offers a great selection of bars and restaurants, while pretentious Shoreditch and sophisticated Islington’s Angel are increasingly up-and-coming areas. Nightclubs are dotted around the city, with entry fees normally being pricey. Despite the cost, London offers some of the best clubs and DJs in Europe, with regular guests.
Live music is also popular in the city, with larger venues attracting international names and orchestras. If you want a relaxing night out, try a West End musical, with dozens of shows on at any one time to choose from. Diners should not miss the culinary treats at Chinatown or Brick lane, the latter being full of curry houses. Upper street in Islington perhaps offers the best choice of restaurants in the city, conveniently situated close to each other. |
