Phonox is a contemporary club that’s inclusive and welcoming. It encourages guests to focus on dancing, not on viewing everything through the camera on their phone. Dance all night to electronic music on Fridays and Saturdays or visit on Sunday for a more relaxed foray into global dance music.

In the heart of the area, Electric Brixton is an iconic destination for clubbers. This grand and historic building is host to a broad variety of club nights and live performances covering genres as diverse as metal, drum and bass, reggaeton, and dub.

For food, drinks, parties, and fun events, look no further than Market House. This buzzy venue has a unique look thanks to vintage furniture and reclaimed materials.
