You will find that the clubs range from VIP know what to wear clubs to just normal student nights London clubs that are more relaxed and done to earth but not in all senses as all the clubs have been known to be very high-en. Many of the clubs play all kinds of music like a mix so to say and you can be able to get this kinds of clubs all over but there are others which have separated each type of music for its own time of the day or its own day of the week such that Tuesday is for Rock Friday Is for Techno and so forth.
