If your days in London feature a jam packed itinerary then the nighttime activities you have to choose from might make your head spin. London truly comes alive at night and the sheer number of options can feel daunting at first but once you decide what you want your London nights to look like you’re in store for the vacation of a lifetime. These are just a few of the ways you can experience London after dark.
Sleep With the Lions
People who have gone on safari in Africa might know what it’s like to hear lions roar while you’re trying to sleep but most people wouldn’t expect that to happen in the northern metropolis of London, England. However, if you’re up for the challenge you can experience a little bit of Africa in England.
At the Gir Lion Lodge in Regent’s Park London Zoo you can treat yourself to a unique, nighttime experience that includes sunset, nighttime, and early morning private tours of the zoo, dinner, breakfast, and luxury accommodations right next to the zoo’s Land of the Lions exhibit. This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience at one of the world’s most highly regarded zoos.
Go on a Pub Crawl
No matter where you’re from, the term “pub crawl” is probably one that you’re familiar with. In fact, you may have even participated in in your hometown. However, according to the experts you haven’t really done a pub crawl unless you’ve done one in Great Britain, and London is the perfect place to take on this boozy challenge.
The Camden Pub Crawl is one of the city’s oldest and most popular and gives you entry to some of London’s most unique pubs and clubs. Also included are drink tickets and your group won’t have to wait in pesky lines. Some of the venues include Belushi’s, Proud Camden, and Barfly, among others.
One Night Stand
Let’s face it, for some travelers there may often be a singular focus and that’s to hook up. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with that provided all parties are consensual, and London is one of the best cities for those who prefer their nights to be a little on the naughty side.
London is bursting with clubs that lean toward the sexy side and fetish and bondage venues are among the most popular. For those who prefer something a bit more private, a night with one of the most erotic escorts in London might be exactly what you’re dreaming of. Regardless, London has a very seductive side and isn’t afraid to show it off.
Hit the Clubs
When you’ve sufficiently recovered from your pub crawl it’s time to look into some of London’s best action, the nightclubs. Whether you’re looking to dance all night to some of the world’s best DJ’s, experience a traditional English pub, or you prefer a classy lounge, London has your perfect night out in all shapes and sizes.
Camden Town is the place to go for live music and West London has you covered in the neighborhood pub department. Soho is the best area in the city for gay-friendly clubs and Shoreditch and Whitechapel offer trendy lounges. It’s a big city so you’ll definitely find something you like no matter where you look.
Late-Night Eats
London has some of the best and most upscale dining in the world, but when it’s late there’s nothing better than any of London’s takeaway joints or food stalls to truly experience the diversity of the food and the culture here. London is famous for its late-night food markets and you can find them all over the city, especially during the summer months. Take your pick of cuisines and add some alcohol to the mix and you’re all set for one of the best ways to experience this city at night.
London is a fantastic city 24 hours a day but it really comes alive after dark. Consider some of these tips to ensure that your London nights are something to remember.
