After Hours
Music, parties and the nights worth leaving the house for.
Chosen by Circuit · Monthly · Updated 11 October

01
LINECONIC
No two rounds land the same way, and a room of strangers ends the night as teammates.
Shoreditch (Shoreditch House)Good aloneCircuit’s ownMonthly
02
Knock2Bag
The venue and the booker stay constant while the bill changes weekly, so regulars treat it like a local that happens to have famous drop-ins.
Hackney (MOTH Club)Fine aloneWeekly
03
Troy Bar
The house band is the constant. Who steps up to it changes every week.
Hoxton (Hoxton Street)Good aloneWeekly
04
Pitchblack Playback
The album is different every session and the format never is. Two venues, the same dark room, whatever record is next.
Homerton and HammersmithGreat alone
05
Angel Comedy
It runs every single night, the bill always changes, and the same faces come back until the room feels like theirs.
Angel (The Bill Murray + Camden Head)Great alone
06
Rye Lane Ruckus
Same night, same bakery, new bill every week, and free entry means dropping in on a whim is exactly how it is meant to be used.
Peckham (Eagle Eats Bakery)Good alone
07
V&A Friday Late
The building is the constant and the theme changes monthly, so it reads as a ritual rather than a programme. You leave with opinions.
South KensingtonGood alone
08
Sharp's Folk Club
The door list means every night is made of whoever showed up, and the room genuinely listens, which is rarer than it sounds.
Camden / Primrose HillGreat alone
