Where to drink and party
West London's more pretentious nightlife scene isn't always that accommodating of foreign
visiors, particularly if you're not dressed to impress. When you journey here there's no
shortage of pubs, swanky bars, and cocktail lounges to try out. However, it's a little more
atmospheric on the other side of the city.

Hammersmith
is West London's entertainment heartbeat, filled with theat-
ers and live music venues.

DJs, and comedians, in a breathtaking building (
