Some insist that this laid-back but energetic club – housed under Shepherd’s Bush Green in a former pool hall – is among the best venues of any size in London. It's certainly worth a trip if you've never checked it out, and it's also the ultimate spot for a late drink after a 'Bushside' gig – better than the Walkabout by a factor of about one million.

Hidden in a subterranean lair, with a few fairy lights draped over the iron railings the only clue, Ginglik confers an instant cool boost on anyone bringing a first-time visitor down the steps to ring the doorbell. When you step inside, though, the experience is a welcoming and relaxed one.

With a music policy that supports interesting new electronica and other music, you’ll hear some challenging bleeps and breaks here, but as the night wears on the vinyl favourites come out and the low ceilings and contented shouts give Ginglik a special euphoric vibe.

Comedy night Laugh harnesses the intimate atmosphere and is well loved by comedians on the circuit. DJs and musicians like a good session here too. The crowd is a healthy mix of local kids who have followed the club since it opened and anyone with a passion for music.
