London Gets its Dance On
London Carnival Weekend - Notting Hill Parade
In late summer, the party’s still going strong in London. For the locals who couldn’t get away on holiday—and those who did, but couldn’t get enough—the club scene comes to night spots throughout the city. Why go to Ibiza when London brings Ibiza’s nightlife to you? After a few drinks and lot of dancing, sleep it off in your New York Habitat vacation accommodation in London. It’s the best of both worlds!

For lovers of all things Latin, try Scalalatina, one of the biggest parties in the city. Scala nightclub packs four rooms full of dancers, DJs, and delectable Latin beats. It’s a good choice during Carnival Weekend at the end of August, especially late at night when the street party finally comes inside.

If it’s an exotic locale you’re after, The Bathhouse near Liverpool Street is the site of former Turkish baths converted into a club. It is located between Mayfair and Bloomsbury and the music encompasses everything from ’50s swing and exotica—with a bit of burlesque to boot!

The aptly named Last Days of Decadence in Shoreditch will help you make the most of your last days of summer. This friendly and fun basement party brings together vintage aficionados who jump and jive to live bands and cabaret.

Not looking to go quite that retro? Then look no further than the O2 Academy in Islington’s “I Love the Nineties” nights on Fridays, or the Electric Ballroom’s Friday-night Sin City, featuring old school metal, classic rock and punk, or its Saturday-night Shake, which runs the gamut from ’70s and ’80s music to disco and dance party anthems. Break out your best running man moves!
