Night Life
At the end of the working day London transforms into a vibrant sociable playground with its own unique array of pubs and bars, clubs and music venues. After a busy working week in the City, London is the perfect place to unwind and enjoy a different pace of life.
Here in the heart of the metropolis there is something for everyone and, at City Quarter, you're already in the centre of the action. Within walking distance you will find an excellent choice of wine bars and pubs to enjoy an early evening drink with friends. The City itself offers an enviable collection of sophisticated bars and more alternate meeting places where you can relax and soak in the atmosphere.
Brick Lane particularly has grown in popularity playing host to an interesting mix of late night cocktail lounges and wine bars. If relaxing in one of the traditional real ale pubs is too staid for your liking you can let your hair down in one of the many high-energy dance clubs or live music venues that have given E1 renewed vigour. With new bars emerging featuring such delights as graffiti wall art, fish tank tables and large voluptuous sofas, it is no wonder that the new and funky east London has become a magnet for London style-seekers.
Jamie Oliver's Fifteen is just to the north, while his TV rival, Gordon Ramsay, offers several options, including Claridges and the Boxwood Café at the Berkeley Hotel. Moviegoers can choose from scores of modern cinemas both in E1 and the West End while the true buffs can take a short boat trip down the Thames to the National Film Theatre and the Imax cinemas.
