Indie and Alternative Club Nights in London

Find an indie club where you'll feel right at home with our guide. London has clubs to suit every taste.

Club Bang! Bang!

The famous 100 Club is the place to catch original soul, reggae, ska and rock ‘n’ roll. The line-up of live bands is truly inspired – think The Beat, The Troggs, Fairport Convention and Chas & Dave! And if that’s not enough for you, a DJ keeps the party going till 1am.

Club NME

Can you believe NME magazine has been going for over 50 years? Let’s hope their weekly club night enjoys as much success. There are Club NME nights at venues all over the UK, but we reckon you can’t beat London’s very own at Koko. Get yourself over to one of Camden’s finest venues for great live bands, guest DJs, and cool music.

Death Disco

Taking place every Wednesday at Notting Hill Arts Club, it's Death Disco. The list of past guest DJs at Death Disco reads like a Who’s Who of the alternative music scene: Courtney Love, Tim Burgess, Mercury Rev, and Ian Astbury, to name but a few. But, no matter who’s on the decks, you'll hear indie punk favourites. 

It goes without saying that stalwarts such as The Clash, The Ramones, Bowie and The Jam will feature, but you’ll also get a fair helping of 70s punk from the likes of Magazine, X Ray Spex and Siouxsie and the Banshees as well.

After Skool Klub

Although mainly a student night, After Skool Klub is open to all. The bar is refreshingly cheap and the music policy includes indie, rock and alternative hits. Perfect!

Lost & Found

Lost and Found is all about music with attitude. The night promises to showcase the original, genre-defining music of the 50s and 60s. So head to Madame JoJo's for a night of rockabilly, northern soul, funk and ska.

The Borderline

After 20 years, The Christmas Club at The Borderline is the longest running Saturday club night in London. Despite the name, it runs all year round, pumping out the best indie and alternative from the 60s right up to the present day.

White Heat

Dedicated to the indie rock scene, White Heat will treat you to live music from up-and-coming bands, followed by exclusive sets from resident DJs. Cutting edge bands who have performed at Madame JoJo's White Heat include The Long Blondes, Maximo Park and Guillemots.
