London Hookup Spots

London is not only one of the greatest cities in the UK, but one of the greatest cities in the world. The city is steeped in so much incredible history and culture, it only makes sense that the bars and clubs would be equally as impressive. And they are! London features some of the best and most unique bars we've ever visited!

The History Of London Hookup Spots

London is a historic city that has been around for almost as long as people have been settling in this part of the world. In fact, a version of London existed when King Arthur was alive! And you better believe that there were pubs back then! One of the oldest remaining pubs is located in the financial district of London and is definitely worth a visit. While we can't say for sure what happened there, there are plenty of dark corner and hidden rooms that we're pretty certain a lot of hooking up happened there back in the day.

Best Times And Days To Go Out In London

London is almost the city that never sleeps! We say "almost" because bars and clubs do tend to close a little earlier on Sunday. However, it is always a great time to go out in London! Seriously, you can pick any day of the week and have a fantastic time.

London Hookup Spots: Directory

In order to do the city of London justice, we here at SoNaughty would have to compile a list hundreds of entries long. Instead, we decided to keep it short and sweet with some of our fave hookup bars and clubs. But the best part about London is, across the street from one of these spots will be another great bar or club you can try!

London Hookup Bars

London is the largest city in the UK so in reality it would be nearly impossible to list every single great bar that the city has to offer. However, we did manage to narrow it down to six of the best.

Hawksmoor Spitalfields is one of the best cocktail bars in the Spitafields area. And that is saying a lot because there are A TON of bars in this area. What makes Hawksmoor so special is the atmosphere, stunning decor throughout the bar and lounge area, and fantastic drinks menu. Hawksmoor is a very popular after work hangout so if you're looking to meet some new people and potential hookups, we recommend hitting up this bar between 5 and 7 pm. We also recommend trying out some of their signature cocktails! You won't be disappointed!

Any Notes

All major cards and cash accepted; no parking available; short walk from major tube stop.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION

Bar Termini Soho is another fantastic Soho cocktail bar. What we love about Bar Termini is it's great food selection that pairs with their signature cocktails. We don't normally think about food when we go to a cocktail bar, but the special items that Bar Termini has to go along with their drinks must be tried at least once. And then we can almost guarantee you'll immediately order a second plate. They are also the perfect items to share, if you know what we mean.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION

If you are looking for a super traditional pub experience, you could pop into almost any corner pub in London. However, for one of the best experiences, we recommend Coach & Horses. This pub is as traditional as they come however they've somehow managed to attract a variety of patrons of all ages. This makes it a particularly great spot for dates and hookups. We love the extensive beer menu and cozy booths at Coach & Horses! Plus they do one of the best cottage pies in all of London.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION

Milk & Honey is a traditional bar with a bit of a modern twist. With dark, polished wood and cozy seating throughout, Milk & Honey is definitely more stylish than your typical traditional bar or pub. The menu is also a lot more interesting! Milk & Honey has the expected beers and wines, with many local breweries and wineries represented, and they also do really great cocktails. We recommend trying their signature cocktail, conveniently named the Milk & Honey. It's delicious!

The Blind Pig is known for it's super cool decor and hip ambience and ever-changing signature cocktails menu. The drinks are changed out regularly with the seasons so it's a great excuse to visit The Blind Pig often! We highly recommend trying their take on a Sidecar. The Blind Pig also has a tasty foods menu for when you and your date start to get a bit hungry.

London Hookup Clubs

Just like the bar scene, there are way too many great London clubs for us to even begin listing them out. Seriously, it would be a very long list! It took a lot of deliberation, but we were able to put together the top six hookup clubs. This should be enough to get you started!

Website

Dalston Superstore

Any Notes

Open late on Fridays and Saturdays; no parking available.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION

Dalston Superstore was one of Dalston's best kept secrets up until recently. Somehow word got out about the incredible parties held at this restaurant by day and pretty soon lineups started forming outside on Friday and Saturday nights. What makes Dalston Superstore so great is that it is famously LGBTQ friendly and attracts people from all sorts of backgrounds and preferences. It makes for a super fun and unique club experience, that is for sure! There aren't too many drink specials here, but the music is fun and loud and the beer is priced well, so that's really all that matters!

Electric Brixton

Any Notes

Best to purchase tickets in advance; cover at door.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION

Electric Brixton is located a little out of the centre of London but it's worth the trip on the tube to get to this nightclub. Electric Brixton is a staple of the neighborhood and has been open for years. While the type of music being blasted has changed, the overall vibe and ambience hasn't at all. Regulars love Electric Brixton because it's a little grungy feeling and not too polished. It's also one of the largest nightclubs in London and there are plenty of rooms for dancing and meeting new people!

Any Notes

Cash cover at door; no parking on site; near a major tube stop.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION

Here's another nightclub located in south London! We'll let you in on a little secret: the reason so many great nightclubs are located in the south is because there is more room there. And more room means a bigger club! Corsica Studios is a similarly expansive nightclub that is spread over multiple floors. It has an unfinished warehouse vibe about it and features multiple bars and dance rooms. Even at its most crowded, you never have to wait long for a drink at Corsica Studios!

Egg is a cozy, intimate nightclub—definitely a different experience than the other kinds of clubs we've listed but sometimes it's nice to have a more relaxing nightclub experience, wouldn't you agree? Egg also plays some of the newest trance, house, and dance music. Music nerds love to come here for the fantastic acoustics and audio. Along with the fabulous music, Egg London also has a fabulous drinks menu.

London Swingers Clubs

Out of all of the different hookup spots we've profiled, we can safely say that London has some of the best. Swingers clubs are no different! There were almost too many to list so we simply went with our faves.

Address

Le Boudoir London

Any Notes

Must be a member to attend events.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION

What we love about Le Boudoir London is that they offer an elevated and upscale swinging experience. Where many swingers parties traditionally take place in regular homes or plain event spaces, Le Boudoir London takes place in a luxurious penthouse apartment. The dress code for the monthly events tends to be a bit on the fancy side but it's all part of the fun. Besides, whatever clothes you do show up in never end up staying on for long!

Club Hermione advertises themselves as one of the most exclusive and intimate sex parties around and after attending an event, we find ourselves agreeing. The membership process is carefully vetted, ensuring that each member is the perfect fit for Club Hermione. The locations are all kept secret until just before the event. Plus, members are encouraged to wear masks to heighten arousal and add to the sense of mystery and intimacy.
