LHR: On Anon Club

If you're up for a night of dancing, On Anon Club is the place to go. It's huge! With eight dance floors playing various genres, you will be sure to find the beat that fits you.

http://onanon.co.uk/location has all the data you need to plan your trip.

Take your fave Tube line to Picadilly circus. For us UAL Hilton Metropole types, its the Bakerloo. Once you exit the stairway at Picadilly Circus station, the building to your left is the London Pavillions. Backtrack just a tad to Shaftsbury, and head NE and you'll see the billboards for On Anon. Below is a Google sattelite pic centered on the triangular London Pavillions building.

On Anon is open every night, but on the slower nights, they won't open all the levels or dance floors. The last time I was there was a Sunday, and only the main floor was open, but it still was a good time. If you want variety and the ability to pick the DJ that's spinning your tunes, go on a more active night.

If you wanna save a few bucks, go before they start charging admission. Refer to the link above to be sure of the schedule on the time and day you're going.

If you don't want to walk home, be sure to check out and know the last tube that you can catch. Go to this first and last tube stop link then click on the line that you are gonna ride. For the Bakerloo, it's 23:54 M-F, 00:31 on Sat. and 23:47 on Sunday (if I'm reading the chart correctly).

If you miss the tube (like I did the last time) and decide to walk, it'll take about 40 minutes to walk from Picadilly Circus to the Hilton Metropole. Definitely doable in a crunch. Cabs are tres expensive, but if it's raining or cold, whatcha gonna do?

Have fun!!
