Elite London Nightlife: Beyond the Obvious

So you’re visiting London. Or maybe you moved here, and you didn’t quite get a grip on how to have a fancier experience in the city. If the loud clubs and the overpriced tourist traps don’t attract you, I have some insider knowledge that will make you feel like a gentleman. Avoid the crowds and surprise your date with something new.

If you lack a date, know that besides party girls, London also has elite escorts who can offer quality companionship on a cultural night out. The escorts offering companionship services are more than just sex workers. They can blend in no matter the event you’re attending. Just make sure to let them know about your plan so that they can dress accordingly when you book them from a directory such as Babylongirls. And if you don’t have a plan, read the following paragraphs, and you’ll get a proper starting point.

Start With a Private Gallery View

While in London, you owe it to yourself to attend a private gallery view. Above everything else, London is one of the top three cultural capitals of the world. And while you can immerse yourself in the British culture through all the mainstream museums, it can be tiring and quite cliché, especially if your date is a Londoner who most likely avoids The National Gallery or Tate Modern.

An elite London night out should include a private gallery view. The culture of private views in London is crucial. That’s where all the up-and-coming artists are showcasing their works. The people attending such events are among the most cultured, sophisticated Londoners. You can easily mingle with them. Although these gallery views are private events, many have open RSVP forms through which you can attend. Saatchi Gallery is the most accessible venue in London when it comes to private gallery views. I recently attended the FOCUS Art Fair at the Saatchi Gallery, an Asian contemporary art exhibition with a public RSVP page. It was a unique cultural experience during which I interacted with both artists and critics in a cozy atmosphere. And they served champagne.

Spend the Evening in a Listening Bar

Whenever I recommend a listening bar experience in London, I get the same question: “What’s a listening bar?” And when I explain myself to the people in question, they all get excited. Especially those who don’t feel comfortable in a loud club or in a venue where you’re pressured to dance.

A listening bar is a venue that focuses on quality music and quality drinks. They are popular in the Soho area, where the venues have themed evenings. One such evening I recently attended was a Hip-Hop and R&B vinyl night at Room 86. The quality of the sound was outstanding. The drinks were also impressive. And the prices were fair. No matter what genre you enjoy, you’ll find a themed evening in a listening bar in London. From House and Jazz to foreign-themed nights, you can explore the beauty of music without the crowd and insane sound volume of a regular club.

Finish With a Nightcap at a Grand Hotel

Even though such a cultural night would include a couple of drinks, I would still visit the bar of a grand hotel. Even when you’re not staying in such a hotel, many of them have walk-in bars where you can enjoy a drink in a more intimate and quiet atmosphere. It’s the ideal way of recapping a night out with a date or one of the escorts London has to offer.

The Fumoir at Claridge’s is one of the most idyllic grand hotel bars in London. The art-deco interior, their selection of whisky, and their signature cocktails can put a grand end to your elite night out in London.
