So what are best new clubs in London as of 2011? London has witnessed a shift in the clubbing world with a move away from super clubs and large dance floors to more intimate, boutique and experience based clubs.
We have seen the closure of once majestic clubs such as Matter, The Key, The End and Turnmills. But for 2011, there are some fantastic London clubs capable of filling the gap.
The first club to speak of is XOYO in Shoreditch. This new Shoreditch club opened in late 2010 and has been putting on some seriously good DJs and bands. Bugged Out have taken on a monthly night at XOYO and the line ups are getting better and better so make a bee line to this Shoreditch Club for a night of hedonistic dancing and music to keep you going all night long.
Sticking with Shoreditch clubs, another nightclub for your diary is Queen of Hoxton. This is multi-level club, bar and lounge that can cater for all types of nights out. We are interested in the lower basement which is a twisted, dark and demanding club space which fits in perfectly with the Shoreditch vibe. Expect top name DJs on the decks, with acts ranging from Hot Chip all the way through to Andy C and Benga.
The dance floor is always packed and lively when I have been to the Queen of Houston and the drinks are well priced and have a good selection of beers and cocktails. If the beats from the basement are a bit too much then head upstairs to the Roof terrace to chill out or take a comfy seat in the bar lounge. This is a forward thinking London club and not one to be missed.
A new London club for 2011 is Kanaloa Bar and Club based in the city. One might think that is just another bland male dominated nightclub in the City of London but think twice. This is a tropical styled bar and club, from the owners of Mahiki in the West End and Sarah Harding of Girls Aloud fame. There is a long tiki bar to get your tropical island cocktails from, a rainforest chill out area to kick back and have a good chat or the club area to dance the night away to with the best of commercial and pop classics. This sounds a little tacky but trust me it’s a fun night out and one that the girls love. The door policy is sensible enough to ensure there is the correct girl/boy ratio and it is a great London club for a fun party night out with friends, whether this is midweek or at the weekend.
Recently opened in February 2011, Foundation Bar in Covent Garden is another unique London club to put on your 2011 hit list. Previously The Langley, but a million miles away from that concept today, Foundation Bar is bringing a bit of Shoreditch and a bit of creativity to the West End. Think Lounge Lover mixed with Favela Chic with West End service. This London club combines a bar lounge area
, restaurant and club space. The highlight for me is the pods that are set around the dance floor where you can have your own private party close to the action on the dance floor. Expect big things from Foundation Bar and a hard to get in door policy.
