Another interesting thing about London is that it has numerous nightclubs meant to make the night active and full of fun. Some of its biggest and well-known nightclubs include the Storm Nightclub, 100 Cub, London Capital Club, and the City of London Club, Even though each club is unique in its own way, each offers excellent services and fascinating music all night long. Apart from offering an assortment of both local and exotic alcoholic drinks, the clubs also do invite famous musicians, acrobats, and comedians to entertain visitors on a regular basis. This means that whatever the nightclub a visitor or tourist decides to go to, he or she is assured of having a good time.

The city offers a wide variety of big shopping centres such as the Southbank Centre, Hay’s Galleria, Brent Cross Shopping Centre, One New Change, and the Surrey Quays Shopping Centre. Each shopping centre offers different types of furniture, jewellery, shoes, clothes, toys, and designer belts, just to mention a few. To get the best bargains while mixing with the locals, visitors can go to the local markets such as the Stables Market, Chapel Market, Church Street Market, or the Greenwich Market.
