London Night Life

I recently spent six weeks in London training a new staff at a branch office the company I work for opened there. I didn’t really know what to expect as far as night clubs in London so I was pleasantly surprised to find a very nice selection of places to hang out in the city.

I enjoy clubbing in the United States and had hoped the clubs in London would be as much fun. They turned out to be fun, exciting, and full of electricity. I guess I had imagined quaint pubs with guitar soloists off in a corner somewhere but this wasn’t the case at all. The music, lights, and dance floors were over the top. I enjoyed myself a great deal.

I was lucky enough to experience New Years Eve parties in London which is a totally different experience than what I have had in the USA. The celebrations begin early in the day and last well into the next day. The city opens its doors and the streets crowd with party goers who go from club to club sharing the New Year’s celebration with as many people as they can. It was quite a thrilling thing to witness and be a part of. I have to say the English know how to bring the new year in right.

There is no doubt that the London nightlife is just as exciting, if not more so, as any nightclub in the USA. The biggest difference I found between the two is how very friendly everybody is at the London nightclubs. There is very little hostility or bar fights like I’ve seen in the past. It’s a very peaceful and caring type of atmosphere and it makes you want to keep going back for more. I’ll be headed back to London in a few months and I’m sure to be spending some more nights clubbing in London.
