Tuesday

13 October
  1. Clubs From £6

    Rooftop at the Bussey Building

    17:00 Copeland Park and the Bussey Building, Peckham

    Peckham's roof bar, up several flights above the old cricket bat factory, looking back at the city from the south. Runs late at the weekend and the yard below keeps going after it shuts.

  2. Food and drink From £12

    Darts at Flight Club, Shoreditch

    17:00 Flight Club, Shoreditch

    Darts with the scoring done for you and a camera on the board, booked by the oche rather than the person. Cheaper before six and on a weekday, and it does run late.

  3. Food and drink From £14

    Crazy golf at Swingers, West End

    12:00 Swingers West End, Mayfair

    Two nine hole courses under a glass roof with street food traders around the edge. Over 18s in the evening, and booking is effectively required at the weekend.

  4. Food and drink From £10

    Ping pong at Bounce, Old Street

    17:00 Bounce, Shoreditch

    Tables by the hour in a basement that used to be a ping pong hall, which is a rare thing to be able to say. Loud after nine and quiet before seven.

  5. Cabaret Table booking or membership

    The Box Soho

    23:00 The Box Soho, Soho

    A late night theatre club on Walker's Court running a variety show that is deliberately hard to describe. Over 21s, tables and membership only.

  6. Clubs Guest list or a table booking

    Cirque le Soir

    23:00 Cirque le Soir, Soho

    A circus themed nightclub on Ganton Street that puts the performers on the floor rather than a stage. Guest list or tables, not a walk up.

  7. Late night Late

    Sophisticats

    22:00 Sophisticats, Soho

    A licensed strip club on Brewer Street, open Monday to Saturday from ten until three and closed on Sunday. Over 18s, photo ID on the door.

  8. Food and drink From £11

    Bowling at All Star Lanes, Brick Lane

    16:00 All Star Lanes, Shoreditch

    Four lanes in a basement done out as an American diner, which sounds worse than it is. Booked by the lane for up to eight, and the kitchen runs as late as the bowling.
