The two May bank holidays may feel like ancient history but at long last, there's another on the horizon.
Another Sunday-before-a-work-free-Monday comes at the end of this month, which means we all have one extra night to get out and enjoy the best of London’s club scene — and there are some incredible line-ups waiting for us.
From day parties to all-night-sets that will have you getting back into bed on a Monday morning rather than crawling out of it, these are the club events to know about on August 25.
Just one tip – book sooner rather than later, as these nights typically sell out long beforehand.
The Hydra: Larry Heard, Theo Parrish, Carl Craig and more, Printworks
