London Night Life

By: Irina Moore


A day ends as dusk approaches, the night is young and London awakens to a new dawn with the city lit up bright. It is late at night, but the neon lamps, halogens and the party lights continue to glow till the wee hours of the morning. This is a night for those who never sleep. London Events find a new mode of expression.

Ever since the invention of electricity, people have never stopped short to move out in the dark. Evenings used to comprise of in-house family gatherings followed by dinner before the invention of electricity. People used to rest their tired feet after a hard day’s work and would continue their work, during the following day.

Electricity was invented and soon, dazzling lights against the dark backdrop of the night became a center of attraction for all. The concept of unwinding and socializing was revolutionized and people began to plan for their evenings. Everyone wanted to be outside and party late into the night before finally resting their tired body and feet.

London was a part of this social revolution and at the very advent, witnessed the launch of the English Pub, a fundamental genre of the English culture and an institution in itself. The pub culture of London was first derived from the Romans and for almost hundreds of years since then, the English Pub has been the backbone of the English social life. The English pub has in fact, been more of a heritage in London and ever since the arrival of the pub philosophy, has served as a favourite meeting place for the neighbourhood.

Soon, clubs started to mushroom all over London, catering to the needs of both the young and the old. With the passage of time and as a major makeover, clubs started to stage dance and disco Then came another revolutionary change when clubs and pubs were licensed to remain open for late hours. The words “night” and “club” amalgamated and formed the “nightclub”, a new venue that redefined the clubbing concept. People would dance and party late into the night and would continue till the early hours in the morning. This philosophy was more comfortably embraced by the young and the middle-aged.

A typical modern London night out might start with a group of friends at the pub or at a bar, enjoying beer- either the draught or the bottled variant, or, your favourite liquor. Instead, you might want to jive to a bewildering array of music at a nightclub with your friends. Whatever be your musical inclination, rock, hip-hop, trance, metal, let the nightclubs give you the vibe to move your body to the music you like. Especially Saturdays in London nightclubs are a ritzy affair and some of the best DJs of Europe come here to perform.

The night would go on, untamed as you set yourself loose to some groovy music on the dance floor. After finishing off with your drinks and dancing, fast food restaurants will soothe your hungry stomach as you soon realize that it is high time that you got some sleep!

Much of the nightlife in London is now in the SOHO area, which is located in the center of the West End of London, England, in the city of Westminster. It has a reputation for its sex shops, film industry and theatres that stage striptease and nude dancing, apart from the pubs, bars and nightclubs that are there. However in recent times, this area has developed into a fashionable district comprising of posh restaurants and media institutions with only the west of the area being venues for sex industries.

Covent Garden is another such area famous for its nightlife. It is located on the easternmost parts of the City of Westminster. This area is dominated by street performers, and is a common shopping destination. Many entertainment facilities are available here including the entrance to the Royal Opera House.

Without a matter of doubt, London supposedly is one of the cities which has the most pulsating nightlife in the whole of Europe.
