So where are we taking you? Your welcome experience starts at London's most legendary club, Ministry of Sound. With four rooms of banging house, dance and techno music there's arguably no better place on earth to hear the world’s greatest DJs play the world’s best music. From there, we'll guide you through a whirlwind tour of London's top nightlife spots, including iconic clubs like Egg, Scala and Fabric. These headline events are your ticket to the very best of the city’s club scene, featuring top-tier venues, immersive production, and incredible DJ line-ups.
We’ve teamed up with nightlife pros Milkshake, whose years of experience ensure our Welcome events are among the best in London – year after year. Nightlife Wristbands always sell out fast, so grab yours early and get ready for an epic UCL Welcome Week.
