Going out in London

Clubs; MoS and Fabric are the most famous ( personally don't rate them)and everyone knows them. Depending how old you are, most central clubs around Piccadilly and Leicester Square are mainly older audiences with people trying to reclaim their teenage years. Inferno's is Clapham ( say what you want about that) and I've heard the carpet and smell is rancid. Embargo's in South Ken is personally my favourite and a good laugh. Avoid Tiger Tiger as it's spike central and Slug is full of underage clubbers.

Pubs: Plenty of 'authentic British' ones scattered in London. Some in Chelsea and Fulham are classy; The Prince, Surprise, The White Hart. Plenty of nice Greene King and Fuller's near virtually everywhere. In central, there's one by Trafalgar Square/Charing Cross station called the Admiralty. Pubs on the Embankment and Southbank have very nice views if that's what you want. The best looking one imo is the Churchill Arms in Kensington due to the over exaggerated flowers.
