Notting Hill Arts Club

Down in the basement of Notting Hill Arts Club, the party goes on all year round – unlike London’s annual Notting Hill Carnival, which takes over the area every August Bank Holiday. Like carnival, though, Notting Hill Arts Club is one a big, colourful fiesta – with music, art and plenty of big speakers. Big-name DJs and artists to have performed at the club include Bruno Mars, Trevor Nelson and Lily Allen. And there are a number of weekly slots to look out for, including Friday night’s house party, complete with old school favourites and free sweets, while on Wednesdays, Funhouse offers £2.50 drinks and £1 entry before 11pm.
