There is a distinct lack of solid London intel on this forum, despite the fact it is one of the best cities in the world. So here goes.
I would wager that London is one of the few cities in the world where you can meet so many different girls all in the same city. I would say that only New York could rival it.
A favourite saying of London is this: 'If you get bored in London, you have a serious problem.' It's as simple as that. Your options for nightlife, leisure, lifestyle and general fun are pretty much endless.
There are so many different areas of London, it's hard to break them all down in one thread, so I will focus on a few that I know well.
Nightlife
Brick Lane
This is a well known bohemian/artsy type area of London. Think weird hair, roll-up cigarettes, prescription-free glasses and tight jeans and you will get the idea.
Having said that you can find yourself a nice hotty or two around here. The main venues are Vibe Bar - which has an excellent outdoor area and also serves food outdoors during the evening. The other is Big Chill which can get very full but has a good smoking area for chatting.
These venues close quite early around 1.30-2 latest so you can walk up Brick Lane with a girl you've just hooked and walk into any little bar you see open to carry on the game.
Shoreditch
Shoreditch has a similar vibe to Brick Lane, however it is more on the trendy-bohemian side. Whereas Brick Lane is more artsy-bohemian and less mainstream (yes in London even hipster have sub-categories).
Hoxton Square is a hub of around 3 bars or so that are all cool. The main one being Cargo. After 10pm dress policy starts so dress nicely. If they don't like the look of you, you're not going anywhere.
Greenwich
Often referred to as 'Greenwich village.' This is because it has a seaside English town feel to it. Do not be fooled though there is a lot of talent around.
Good venues include The Gipsy Moth - which has an excellent outdoor area. The Trafalgar Tavern which is by the water, so has a nice view for dates and also the Admiral Hardy.
Greenwich is also a nice area in general to walk around and has a lot of history and museums. Good for developing a 'connection.'
Clapham
Clapham is a majority British area with less foreigners. Predominantly middle-class young professionals out to have fun and get drunk. On a Friday and Saturday night the area is absolutely packed wall to wall with people.
You can generally walk along Clapham High Street and walk into any bar you like the vibe of. There really are that many.
Main bars include The Clapham North - a cool, trendy bar with a good vibe and music loud enough to game girls. Highly recommended and very popular. The Railway, similar to the Clapham North, 2 minutes walk from it. B@1 - cool cocktail bar with less intense vibe and you're not surrounded by lots of dudes. Has a few chains over the city and is a good place to take a date also.
Infernos - this place is synonymous with cheesy. It's basically a cheesy nightclub favoured by young people upto the 25 mark. The decor is out of date, the club is average. But it's wall to wall with pussy. I'm not a fan of club game, but you can definitely pull ass in there. There are two floors, each with different music. £10 cover charge.
The Swan - this place is 2 minutes from Clapham in Stockwell. It is an Irish Bar and turns into a nightclub later in the evening. Usually an Irish bar is somewhere that is Irish in name and ownership only. However, here all the patrons are Irish. So if you want an easy Irish flag, come get some!
Me and my friends used to call this place the 'Kill Zone'. Not amazing on quality but high on quantity and ease.
King's Cross
Not really much here, but there are two venues of note.
One is Camino Bar which is a Spanish bar open until 1.30am. This is very popular with South Americans and Spanish.
B@1 is a cocktail bar/lounge which is a nice place for a date. These are chain bars around London, whenever you see one you can guarantee it's a good place to escalate or take a girl on a date.
Angel
This is one of the best areas in London in terms of variety. There are so many bars and clubs to choose from all within a square mile of each other. The main ones include: The Old Queen's head, which is popular with locals and open til around 2am, also with an upstairs, downstairs and decent smoking section.
The Angellic - cool trendy bar generally frequented by girls out to catch up for a drink, but take a wing man and you're set.
Another good bar Keston Lodge.
Leicester Square
Ground zero for tourists in London. Typical cheesy bars and pubs and often frequented by batchelorette parties. However pulls can happen here, as ever with tourist areas. Best option: find a bar with the vibe you like and roll with it.
Day Game
Oxford Street / Piccadilly Circus
This is one of London's main tourist attractions. It's a huge sprawling area of shops, coffee lounges, bars and restaurants. Basically everyone who's not from London goes here. Excellent for meeting a girl who's in town for a few days.
The Tate Modern
This is a world famous art museum. Apart from the opportunity to meet girls it's actually really interesting and has some great exhibitions, well worth a look.
Borough Market / Spitalfields Market
These two venues offer great organic and street food. Borough Market is purely food orientated and is very popular and a good choice for a post-gym food on a Saturday.
Spitalfields market is similar but more clothes orientated, both are recommended.
Tourists attractions in general
London is world renowned for its tourist attractions. Namely - Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, Houses of Parliament, etc, etc. So it stands to reason that these places are excellent venues to game girls.
You will often catch one by herself taking pictures of the scenery or of herself...cue you to take one of her. Or you can always pretend you're a tourist and ask her to take a picture of you...thank me later.
The West End is not an area I go to, but if you're flush with cash, there are plenty of high end lounges that you can frequent. These areas include: Mayfair, Chelsea, South Kensington and Fulham.
If you like hookah/shishah bars hit up Edgware road, there are rows and rows of them.
Note: London is not cheap so bring the rain.
Half the fun of London is exploring it.
