Which brings me to my final point: partying in London is about who you know, yes, but it’s also about you. You have to be open to silliness, to staying a little later, to talking to strangers. The city can sense fear. If you’re not open to new things, you won’t experience anything worthwhile. Chances are, you won’t end up in the biggest clubs, but in dive bars, dodgy pubs and kitchens (afters are the new house party and everybody knows it). F*** ticket apps, f*** the month-in-advance planning. Go out and see where you end up.
