White City House

White City

If you're a Soho House member (or included in your friends' +3 quota) make a beeline for White City House from 7pm on the 31st for the clubhouse's annual New Year's Eve party. Details are, for now, tightly underwraps, but with things winding down from 3am we'd advise you save yourself the trauma of commuting home post bash and crash there for the night (best to book now - the house has just 45 hotel rooms).

Get your fill of techno, house, disco, electronica and a little funk and soul too at Phonox Brixton this NYE. Cram into Phonox's sole space from 9pm (when doors for the bar open) and wrap up the year to the French techno sounds of Folamour.

The Standard

Kings Cross

Head to the 10th floor at Decimo, where floor-to-ceiling windows open out to views across the London skyline, to party with Jane Birkin (tickets are essential) or try your luck as a walk-in at Double Standard, a night here has the scope to grow as your mood dictates. It also leaves the window open for an impromptu escape to Paris, with St Pancras International just a two-minute stroll away…

Bethnal Green

With an upbeat playlist and a spandex-loving crowd, London's best-known working men's club is one of the most joyful places in the city to see in the new year.

bar

CLF Art Cafe

Peckham

This multiple purpose warehouse has served us (and our interests) well all year long. Where better then to ring in the new year than at the club that promises revellers their start to a new decade will be strictly a good time. Dance until dawn (6am closing) at the South London Soul Train NYE bash, spread over four floors and five rooms.

Boulevard Theatre

Soho

Throwing it back to the Soho of the 50s, festivities at the Boulevard Theatre will be dominated by champagne, drag and burlesque. Begin your night in style, sipping on retro cocktails as contortionists and cabaret performers dazzle and delight before things round off with a live jazz band (until 2am).
