Often when people talk about nightclubs they want to know which is the newest nightclub assuming that because they’re new they’re also hot. However looking at it another way, the oldest nightclubs are the oldest for a reason – people still swarm to them!

We’re going to look at three old clubs today:

• Cafe de Paris
• Koko
• Chinawhite

Cafe de Paris

Opening it’s doors in 1924 Cafe de Paris became a quick favorite with the upper crust of society when Royalty (from both England and Europe) started to visit. And as with all nightclubs in the West End of London, this quickly becomes a blessing that signifies that the venue is the place to go.

Today Cafe de Paris still has its place in the London clubbing scene however it’s not sat a loft (on top) in the same way that it once was. With regular attractions and events it stills pulls in some of the crowd – however it finds it hard to compete with some of the more desirable clubs.

KoKo

The oldest of the three clubs KoKo was opened on boxing day 1900.

KoKo’s a slight departure for the more exclusive end of clubbing to the equally fun (if you enjoy rock/alternative music) edgier end of the market.

The club started off as a large theater and this can still be seen today when clubbing. With plenty of size and a stage there are often also bands playing and live entertainment.

Chinawhite

Chinawhite’s history is interesting, as the youngest club it is still the most famous, opening its doors in 1998 with virtually immediately endorsement from A-List celebrities and the who’s who of London.

Since opening closing down for a short while the club opened again in October 2009. Once again appearing regularly in the British press and on the lips of Londoners.
