Founded in 1963, Annabel’s is old school at its best. If walls could talk, the ones at Annabel’s would have an awful lot to say. It’s the only nightclub that the Queen has ever been to and is world-famous for its elegance and service. annabels.co.uk

El Camion

When the rest of London shuts down, this den of debauchery kicks off. There’s no membership but a pretty rigorous door policy. It’s the ultimate bar for late night dancing and famed for its tequila collection. Fun fact: it was once owned by the inventor of the Espresso Martini, Dick Bradsell. elcamion.co.uk
