I spoke to a few people from London and these names always seem to pop up..

All of the following are free to get in except Club Aquarium...

I've had successful nights at Shoreditch's The Hoxton Bar & Grill / aka Hoxton Square Bar and Kitchen (despite the name, is a club).

There's also a pub/club (Electricity) around the corner from Hoxton Square which has in its basement an 80's style dancefloor with brightly lit colourful squares. It's always packed in the two floors of that place, good atmosphere, fit women, good for pick up.

Also worth checking out if you like a very small club, perhaps for the start of the night, is... The Hoxton Pony

Have spent time at Trafik and bluu (both are really just bars; Trafik is open much later than bluu, also has a tiny dancefloor downstairs), but didn't find either good for pick-up.

The Aquarium aka Club Aquarium is the club nearest the Old Street tube station. Open til very very late. Had a really shit night there, so didn't go back. Only one fit women in entire place and she was out her tree (drugs?), it is dirty and dingy inside and the music was trance-techno p#sh. (I like well-crafted dance music, but not that idiotic pish they played that night.) My mates hit the swimming pool at 4am (it doesn't open until then, just to continue everyone's agony while they wait for it to open) but I left 1/2 hour b4 that as I just couldn't be arsed with Club Aquarium anymore.

I have no clue about night game around these parts but as far as day game goes Brick Lane is fantastic. Before i moved back to my beloved Manchester and got into the world of seduction i spent a lot of time on Brick lane and always walked away with meeting someone new and attractive. But i think to be accepted into the Sub Culture of what is mostly on happening on those streets... Thinking about it makes me want to move back with my new found skills.

Went there other week, went around hoxton square, not what i was expecting, very quiet ( for london ) and a small area with bars but saying that some good bars and a nice vibe there and lots of good looking women, bouncers are abit fierce, probs would prefer abit more lively parts of London but would go again.

Tripz, was that on a Friday or Saturday night?

I've been sarging in Hoxton the past two consecutive Friday nights, it was pretty busy then for that area!

You said "bouncers are abit fierce"... at which venue?

I'll add a bit more comments about who you find there... generally I find in Hoxton Square and nearby it's:

* a 20's/30's crowd
* who usually live in London or outskirts (unlike high numbers of tourists in the centre's largest clubs like Tiger Tiger / OnAnon / etc)
* not many pretentious types or extreme bitch shielders (unlike some of the higher-end Mayfair clubs) so approach can be a easier too
* not many annoying hen parties (unlike centre's Tiger Tiger / OnAnon / etc)
* but not that high a number of drop-dead beautiful women (compared to some of the best clubs for having that)
* the punters are mostly very casually dressed; not many dress codes about
