In-Depth Information
The City of London is mainly the haunt of city workers drinking after work and then stay-
ing out until 11pm on Thursdays and Fridays. It's swish, decadent, and decidedly upmarket.
While it might be expensive, the local drinkers are a discerning bunch so expect quality
beers and pubs that have been around for 300 years. Dress to impress at the weekend, al-
though Monday to Wednesday is often very quiet here and there's never much happening
after midnight.
The exception to this is Fabric, one of London's must visit nightclubs - see below.
•
There's a whole host of old pubs to be discovered
around Liverpool Street
Underground station
, including Dirty Dick's, Lamb Tavern, White Hart,
and Ye Old Watling. All offer elegant old pub interiors and good ale.
•
Perhaps the most historic of the pubs is
Ye Old Cheshire Cheese
, still
pulling pints after 350 years and a classic banker's institution.
145 Fleet
Street.
•
London's finest large scale underground club,
Fabric
is a real UK institution
and its three floors rock until 6 or 8am every Thursday to Saturday. Expect
pounding bass that rises from beneath your feet and a serious atmosphere of
getting wasted. While its appeal is for young people, Fabric has an eclectic
international audience. Check the listings as each night is generally tailored
to a different electronic music genre, with the majority focusing on house
and techno.
