Best Nightclubs in London for Students

Balancing student life with nightlife can be tough. This is your time to party, and especially if you’re in a different country, you’ve got to take advantage of that. So, while you want to hit the best parties in London, you also don’t want your rent money disappearing overnight. That’s why we’ve rounded up the top London clubs where students can still have an incredible night out without breaking the bank. The trick isn’t finding passably attractive clubs or some venue that you have to take three trains to get to. Finding the best nightclubs in London for students is about knowing how to navigate the London clubbing scene. The spots we bring you aren’t just good: they’re some of the biggest names in Central London nightlife.

99 Regent Street (formerly Cuckoo Club)

99 Regent Street is the Mayfair club that used to trade as the Cuckoo Club, a short walk from Piccadilly Circus. It has two floors, with hip-hop and open format upstairs and house downstairs, and it is open Wednesday to Saturday.

Tables start from £600 minimum spend as of October 2026, lower than most of Mayfair, but the guestlist is what makes it one of the best nightclubs in London for students. It is not a ladies-only list: mixed groups are welcome by request, so a group of girls with one or two guys can use it, and the entry terms for your night are confirmed when you enquire. The door is 19+.

Rex Rooms

Over in Chelsea, we’ve got another one of the best nightclubs in London for students, Rex Rooms. The club has quickly become one of the most in-demand clubs in Chelsea. It took over the famous 151 King’s Road spot, once home to the iconic 151 Club, which used to attract royals like Prince Harry and Prince William. Rex Rooms brings a mix of rock ’n’ roll edge and modern glamour, with guests like Mick Jagger, Jason Momoa, and Machine Gun Kelly spotted here.

Like all high-end clubs in London, tables start at a £1,000 minimum spend. On the Rex Rooms guestlist, you’re looking at around £20 for girls and £30 for guys, with free drinks available on certain nights. Guestlist spots are usually prioritised for ladies, but mixed groups can sometimes be added too if you book in advance.

For Rex Rooms reservations, drop us a message.

Now you’re in the know about all the best nightclubs in London for students. Luxx Club London, which used to appear on this list, has closed. The clubs above are not just some of the best spots, but also budget-friendly, and spots where you’ll find a great crowd. These nightclubs don’t just pack a fun night, but a whole world of interesting people and experiences if you’re open to them. For any questions or London club reservations, let us know.
