This is what I usually do when in London for a weekend(besides football, you might call it soccer).

Leicester Square/Covent Garden is packed with bars/pubs etc and has a good nightlife till around midnight. After that Mayfair is good with more high-end/classier places that are open late(nightclubs). Mayfair is on the pricier side though.

I have never pulled in the UK(was in a blue pill relationship for way too long), so that question must be answered by someone else.

I don't think any nationality is really considered 'exotic' in London. Americans especially are found everywhere.

If you want a surefire bang, just hit up Shoreditch/ Old Street. Quality is decent and not as pretentious as other nightlife spots.

lol, yeah I do call it Soccer. Sucks you were in a relationship, Im hoping to try some day game too. Not too sure i want to hang around all the tourist areas. I want to be able to run into some locals too. But at night, ill check out those spots you mentioned. I only got 1 day, so im goin to have to check out a lot of spots during the day and night.

Ive seen many people talk about Shoreditch. Must really be a good spot to hit up.

Just a tip before you book a hotel. Try and find one that is close to a tube/underground station. Preferably a tubeline that makes Your logistics easier. I prefer somewhere along the Piccadilly line. Especially if I'm coming through Heathrow. If Gatwick, you can get a fast train to Victoria Central which has loads of connections.

I was checking out Marriott County Hall

Tinder will be your best bet.
London is expensive, do you really need a hotel for one night!
Shoreditch is not a good choice, it is a trendy part of town.
Take the Piccadilly line and head for Covent Garden, then head over to Oxford St. You should see a few tourists milling about, maybe get a hotel in the area if you must.
Unless you are a daygame master, I would skip this altogether and stay in the airport.

I like what you wrote about Piccadilly and I'll try Tinder. But there is no way I am staying at the airport for 22hrs. I land around noon and fly out at 10am the next day, lol. Not really a master, but I don't stop approaching until I bag one.

I'm surprised you say that. While I've always found Shoreditch to be an excellent place to meet women, it's always had the drawback of being pretentious, although a little screening can put that right.

This is actually the reason I would recommend it. If you're well-dressed, pulling in Shoreditch is fairly easy. Each to his own, though.

Post: #13

I used to live in Shoreditch earlier this year. It's great for dates more so than pulling.

Venues are small and mostly dead except for Friday and Saturday nights when the area comes alive. You have only a few medium-large venues : Cargo, 333 Mother, Electricity Showrooms. The rest are small.

Dalston on Thursday is mental. Some solid clubs there. And cheap.

One night is not much chop. If you're not landing on a Thurs/Fri/Sat you have close to no chance. There's a few student venues open around Tues / Wed in Central London (like The Roxy).

Best pick up venue is maybe Koko in Camden on a Friday. Central London is Tourism City. Good luck finding exotic status in your American nationality - they are one of the most prominent tourist groups in the area. Most of the places in Central London are fairly trashy : Zoo Bar, The Piccadilly Institute but Penthouse and DSTRKT pull some talent.

I second your comments on Koko which was always excellent for pulling on those evenings I could make it to North London.

Camden has a few other reasonable locations but I'm hesitant to name them for fear of misleading people - I've been spending more time outside the city than in over the last few years and don't want to give outdated advice.

Post: #15

What is Camden like on an average Tuesday?

Post: #16

I think i'll get my hotel in Covent Garden. It seems to be just the right distance from the nightspots yall mentioned. I havent researched Koko yet, but i'll check it out. And yes, I want to try and avoid the tourist spots as best as I can because I would like to go somewhere in London where you wont see too many Americans. Shoreditch is still sounding like a good spot, and since I land early day on Sat, i should be good for the club scenes.

@Amarante, post your suggestions, even if they are outdated. Im interested.

Post: #17

Just researched Koko and it looks more like a concert venue rather than a club.

Post: #18

OP good call on getting a place in Covent Garden, on Saturday that place would be rammed with action. Oxford st is close by as well.
There are top clubs on Regent St which Is around the corner, I hope you got energy cos you will need it.
Make sure you plan your route to the airport ahead of time. You might have to much fun and miss your flight.

Post: #19

lol....aight will do

Has anyone heard of EGG nightclub? i hear its supposed to be the best after party spot cuz it stays open when everything else is shutting down. Is it worth going to?

Now that I think about it, the crowd aligned well with my own personal style/ niche. Everyone was incredibly receptive the two times I went there; ended up pulling on both occasions.

Compare this to Piccadilly where I felt completely out of place. I've never actually seen a higher concentration of sharply-dressed, attractive dudes anywhere else in the world (no homo).

Our experiences were probably pretty similar. A PUA friend of mine was asking me about where he should go out in London. I certainly wouldn't have recommended that he visit Shoreditch but I've done well there and love the women.

Shoreditch, like many comparably niche districts in other large cities I've been to, is an excellent location for the right guy but terrible for almost everyone else.

That's exactly what I first thought.

Covent Garden area does seem to have some clubs that are open later so that's a decent option. Stay the hell away from those 'Revolution' clubs in the City - they were awful. But you can try to pick off the Essex girls after work in some of those bars around the City from what I've heard.

I actually liked Shorditch and some of those bars are actually fairly laid back and have open outside seating areas where you can mingle, but hey it's London so a lot are full of pretentious assholes too.

In any event, since you're in London you're going to be dealing with tons of guys anywhere given the pub culture and all the City workers having pints after work and on into the night. Not a good place to do night game in general IMO.

You'll also have zero cache anywhere being American (or any other nationality for that matter) - London's the most international and cosmopolitan city on the planet I'd say.

^ exactly Akula.
The OP is only there for one night, I would skip the clubs and try to find some tourist chicks in the day.
Landing at noon, by the time you get to Central London you are looking at 3. Shops close at 6, which means the crowd filters out shortly after. Good bars/clubs don't get going until after midnight. Then you have a early morning flight so you have to check out early. I say enjoy the sights and relax.
Shoreditch is a crazy scene, it's not far or close to Covent Garden.
My info might be outdated, I remember Friday nights at Tiger Tiger being pretty good for meeting foreign chicks. Not sure if it runs on a Saturday or if it is still open.

Since I am older, i would do it differently.

Post: #24

Thanks! Since my hotel is in Covent Garden, ill take that tip and walk around Oxford street and play on Tinder for a bit. Sucks that my American nationality wont help me, oh wells, ill just use game. At night, I'll probably just hit the nearest club to the hotel that way its easier to bring a bang back. I was planning on checking out Tiger Tiger and Chinawhite. I will definitely check out Bar Salsa cuz im big on dancing to latin music. If im not feeling the scene at any of those places, i'll venture into Shoreditch and then probably hit EGG after Shoreditch cuz its supposed to be the afterparty spot since its open unitl 10am, but only if I fail at the other locations. 3pm does sound about right for me to get started once im in town.
