10 ways the Night Tube will improve your weekend
It's finally here
The Night Tube opens this Friday. For Londoners, it means better public transport at weekends and for Londoners who party, it means the city will be opened up for fun like never before.
Here are 10 ways the new service will improve your weekend. Lord knows we've all been waiting for it long enough...
1 You’ll finally be able to go to more than one club a night
Kerri Chandler’s playing at midnight in Shoreditch and Helena Hauff’s on at 3am in Brixton. You want to see both do their thing but the Night Buses will never get you across the city in time and you and your mates can’t be arsed to pay the taxi fare.
Sound familiar? It’s a quandary that many London clubbers will have faced. Every weekend there’s a plethora of amazing parties to go to but no way of reaching them all. The capital is too big and the public transport infrastructure just isn’t built to ferry ravers around.
That’s all going to change now the Night Tube is open. From this Friday, we’ll finally be able to hit more than one club during a night out and share the same sense of adventure that’s second nature to other European hotspots such as Amsterdam and Berlin. London and all its gleaming party gems are now ours to unlock.
2 Pre-drinking at home will become the leisure activity it deserves to be
Before this weekend, heading out on a Friday or Saturday meant leaving the house by midnight in order to catch the last Tube. After a long day’s work as well as the ritual of getting ready, that never left much time to chill and recharge with your friends before hours of dancing. It’s always been an irritating reality that’s turned pre-drinking into a post-modern version of Dante’s Inferno sponsored by Tyskie and Glenn’s Vodka. But no more! Thanks to the Night Tube, pre-bevs will become leisurely soirees during which you can get psyched for the party ahead in your own damn time.
