How do you spend your money in London?

Taking out rent, I am left with ~£3k/month and don't know how to spend it. I am not into clubbing, which seems to be a major expense for a lot of people. 

What are you guys buying for yourselves in a typical month, and how can I spoil myself?

Bump, also curious since I'm not into clubbing. Personally I think it's worth spending on Ubers given the dilapidated condition of and health hazards posed by certain tube lines. Also I've found it incredibly tough to get an in-person medical appointment even though I'm registered with a GP, so private medical insurance (unless your employer covers it) could be useful too

 

My VP who in his early 30's, sounds slightly similar to you. He goes on lots of extravagant dates to restaurants with his GF. Goes auctions and often purchases art paintings. Gym membership at Equinox (200 a month). He goes to lots of sporting events, and flies business class or hires a PJ with he and friends when they go on holiday. So I guess there's always more than one way to skin a cat.
