History & Museums: 

If you’ve rented yourself a party house in London, you’re in for a treat if you happen to have a great love for history. Originally a Roman city, London is known as the first urban centre to appear in England. From as far back as 1065, London has maintained steady and continuous growth. Its first historical attraction, The Tower of London, was constructed under the reign of William the Conqueror. Today, London boasts an impressive list of historical buildings and museums to visit. There are more than 60 exhibition spaces on offer at the British museum. Travellers on a budget will be pleased to know entry to the standard exhibits is free!

While museums do still charge for special exhibitions, there is more than enough to explore without needing to buy tickets. Outside of the museums, there are several famous attractions such as Tower Bridge, Big Ben, and St. Paul’s Cathedral. Parties travelling with children will enjoy watching the change of the guard at Buckingham Palace. Occurring at 11 AM each day, this routine has existed since Queen Victoria moved to Buckingham Palace in 1937. It remains very much part of the daily scene in London. For curious souls with a love for history and culture, London is brimming with things to learn and see.  

Camden Market:

Since its opening in 1974, Camden Market has served as a centre for social and cultural change. Once a small arts and crafts market, Camden evolved into an artistic and cultural melting pot. To this day, this area is known as the place to pick up affordable second-hand clothing, ripped Levi’s and worn Dr Martens. In 1973, the rundown Camden packaging warehouse was transformed into the Dingwalls Dance Hall. At the time, it had the longest bar in all of London. Dingwalls revolutionised nightlife in London, staying open until 2AM rather than 11PM which was standard at the time. Quickly, Dingwalls became a well-known venue for rising stars such as Blondie, the Clash and the Sex Pistols.

These days, visitors are spoilt for choice with the many restaurants, shops, bars, and live music venues. The Jazz Café is a great option for people who prefer a gentler, jazzy scene. The Underworld still hosts alternative and rock performances. Still a massive hub today, the Camden market continues to thrive as a centre for alternative and punk fashion. Camden has made and maintained its mark on British history, and remains a place to buy creative, affordable, and second-hand things.  

London Nightlife:

Dingwalls may have paved the way for a new generation of nightlife, but since then, it has grown and evolved into the vibrant scene that exists today. Live music, night clubs, bars to name a few. Whether you’re living it up from your party house in London or coming in from out of town for a night’s adventuring, there are a few places famous for their different atmospheres. For those looking for something a little classier than the grungy streets of Camden, there are several up-market establishments. A great place to visit is the stretch of river from South Kensington to Putnet Bridge in West London. Maggy’s Club, The White Horse and Harbour Bar are just a few of the many bars worth visiting along this stretch.

Finally, for the hipsters, Shoreditch is known for its trendy bars and underground music venues. Spots such as The Hoxton Pony and the Village Underground are definitely worth investigating.
