Fun and entertainment - England in 2025

Practical information : Going out England

Timetable

The English usually work between 9am and 5pm. They are free from 6pm and invade the pubs for lively afterworks. This is the busiest time in the pubs. Happy hour is not very common in London, except in some very touristy places. It starts earlier, sometimes even around 4pm. The British who do everything earlier will be in the clubs from 9pm. Bars often close their doors between 11pm and 12am maximum. The clubs stay open until 2 or 3 am in general. The after hours until 6am.

Budget & Tips

You won't leave London without seeing a musical! But you're on a tight budget, so here are a few ways to cut down on the cost of your ticket: buy it at the TKTS kiosk2, online (London Box Office3) or directly at the theater at the last minute; come in the afternoon, it's cheaper, stay up.

To be booked

Of course, the most famous musicals, as well as the great theatrical or choreographic creations, or even the cinematographic releases with animation and of course the events around the royal family, ask to be reserved.

Night transport

Take a cab or an Uber to get home after midnight, as many bus or metro lines no longer operate at that time. There are some night bus services, however, especially on weekends.

What's very local

The English dress to go out in the evening. It is the English chic, the British style. Sloppy outfits are not appreciated except for a rock festival or for the London Pride where all eccentricities are allowed, even encouraged!
