There is, approximately, one pub on every corner in London.

Cinema, music, theatre, nightlife

There are 300 films shown per evening in London, from the biggest West End cinemas to the suburban and alternative cinemas. No city in the world has such a array of music venues as well as a very popular theatre scene. We recommend the magazine "Time out" which gives an in-depth view of events in the city.
