How to read this page. 6 venues, grouped by area, each linked to its own website with the words it uses about its late hours. It is not a ranking and nobody pays to be here. Opening hours and events change without notice, so check the venue's own page before you go. We read each page on 3 October 2026.
Before you go
- Show times and line-ups change from night to night: check the venue’s own page for tonight.
- Late screenings and all-nighters are usually one-off events, and many comedy nights are ticketed in advance. The venue’s page will say.
Getting there, and getting home
The Night Tube runs on Friday and Saturday nights on the Central, Jubilee, Northern, Piccadilly, Victoria and Windrush lines, according to Transport for London. Night buses run 24 hours a day and every bus is fitted with CCTV, according to TfL’s safer-travel page.
For the rest, see getting home after the last train, which lines run all night and getting home safely at night. Hungry afterwards? Where to eat after midnight. Want the closest venue to you? Find the nearest verified place.
