Louis Jacks is a student living in London who was once a novice in the big smoke and had no clue on where to party to with the cool students. He has since explored and discovered the best of what London has to offer for bars, pubs and clubs and has put together a London Student Survival blog that will help you have a great student night out.

So I am a newbie to Lohave recently just moved to the capital with a lot of excitement in regard to what lies ahead for me. Although the study will be a challenge and at times interesting,A student night out in London Articles I am most looking forward to going out and partying hard as London has ndon and some of the best nightclubs, bars and pubs

I come from a small town in England so to have the chance to live in one of the best cities of the world is a blessing! The biggest problem I faced was deciding on where to go out and explore. There are so many bars and clubs that as a student it is quite hard to find the perfect place as obviously we are on a budget but also like different types of music and the latest happening DJ and cool new bands. I heard people speak a lot about Shoreditch barsand clubs and this is where all the cool new underground places are but also heard Clapham was the area to hit for those in South London in particular.

So I would like to share with you my top picks for bars, pubs and clubs that I have found so far that may well help you to have a great student night out. Firstly I would recommend a great party night that is in Soho.  This is cheapskates@ Moonlighting every Wednesday in Soho as a classic student night out and is the place for cheap drinks and a party vibe. The prices are drinkonomical to say the least! Where else in Soho can you find drinks at this price? This is student institution venue so if you have not been to cheapskates you have not lived as a student in London!

My next recommendation for a student nightin London is a place called Infernos. This is the ultimate cheese fest that will take you back to your student union days. I almost felt like I was stood right bang in the middle of the union dance floor singing to Baywatch! I would recommend going with a big group of friends, so is perfect for fresher week bonding or just getting your new friends together and rock out to pop music classics! It is located on Clapham High Street but is well worth the trip south. Fridays and Saturdays are the days to explore Infernos.

So perhaps something a little more underground in the London party scene I hear you cry? Well a little gem that I love frequenting mid-week is Notting Hill Arts Club. This has a real neighbourhood underground vibe going on and they specialise in fantastic new bands and djs. They have indie nights on Thursdays that I highly recommend and the drinks prices are reasonable. Look out for the live listings as this venue helped showcase live acts like Mumford and Sons and Laura Marling so you might just find the next big thing at Notting Hill Arts Club! These are main suggestions for a great student night out, I hope you find these helpful and see you on the dancefloor!
