Fabric

If it ain’t broke don’t fix it… there’s definitely nothing that needs to be fixed here. You’ll still find London’s epicentre of club cool dishing up Fabric Live on Fridays with monthly specials from the likes of True Playaz, Stanton Warriors and UNKLE, and Fabric Saturdays with residents Craig Richards and Terry Francis and plenty of decent live stuff. It’s enough to make you wish someone would just start up a trashy 70s night and be done with it.

This superclub is still the first stop on the London scene for many international clubbers. A smoky warren of three floors, three bars, many walkways and unisex toilets, it has a kidney-shaking 'sonic boom' dance floor. The crowd is hip and well-dressed without overkill, and the music - mainly electro, house, drum 'n' bass and breakbeat - is as superb as you'd expect from London's top-rated club. Queues are worst from about 21:00-23:00.
