  • 🌃 London vs. New York City Nightlife - Who Reigns Supreme? 🗽🇬🇧
    Get ready for Round Four of the ultimate showdown between two iconic cities - London and New York City! In this thrilling episode, we're diving deep into the electrifying world of nightlife.
    🍻 Bars, Breweries, and Pubs Galore 🍺
    Both cities boast an incredible array of watering holes, but the availability game is on a different level. New York City takes the lead with its renowned late-night scene. Picture this: the Big Apple's bars keep their doors open until a jaw-dropping 4 am, and the first call at 7 am ensures the party never truly stops. It's no wonder NYC is hailed as the city that never sleeps!
    🕚 Early Closes and Historical Curfews 🕚
    London, on the other hand, has a different rhythm when it comes to pubs. With a historical nod to World War I, London pubs bid their patrons farewell by around 11 pm. Did you know? This early closure was initially implemented to ensure workers reached factories on time during wartime. But hey, Londoners still know how to have a good time!
    🎉 Nightclubs: A Modern Twist 🎉
    Nightclubs weren't part of the scene during World War I, and this gives London an edge in the clubbing arena. The party carries on until 3 am in London, with some opting for an early exit to catch the last tube. Meanwhile, New Yorkers can dance their hearts out until a whopping 4 am. It's a battle of the beats!
    🏆 The Verdict: NYC Dominates! 🏆
    Drumroll, please! It's time to reveal the winner of this exhilarating nightlife showdown. While both cities brought their A-game, New York City takes the crown in this round, boasting a nightlife that keeps the lights blazing until the wee hours of the morning. The score? A resounding 2-1 in favor of the Big Apple.
    Who's up for some late-night adventures and early-morning escapades? Drop your thoughts below and stay tuned for more epic rounds in the London versus New York City showdown!

    London has about 60 night bus routes and many 24 hour routes, some of which operate at a 10 minute headway. And the jubilee line, northern line, victoria, Piccadilly and east London line have a 24 hour service on fridays and saturdays. Thameslink runs a 24 hour service between bedford and three bridges.

    The pub closing time law was changed with the licensing act 2003 which came into force in 2005 however the time at which pubs and shops selling alcohol shut is still traditionally 23:00.
    Some stores and pubs chose now to stay open until midnight which they now have the legal right to do but to be open between midnight and 06:00 the local authority that issues alcohol licenses has the discretion in order to avoid anti social behaviour.
    In Scotland however be aware that, with some exceptions, alcohol is only sold from 10:00 until 22:00 and in Ireland pubs don’t open until after midday on Sundays.

    In this measure they really should have taken in scale and choice too. London has far more -double the bars and pubs of NYC, at 4,000 and with 220 (legal) nightclubs, not mentioning the illegal rave scene. At the end of the day the nighttime economy in NYC employs 200,000 and in London 600,000. The draconian last call times were reinstated in London after the pandemic, and only for a short period, most central pubs stay open past midnight. Plus bear in mind the thousands of bars go strong until 2-4am after the pubs shut, and the clubs till sunrise.

      Not many takers though. The licensing, the staff, the cleaning up... & if someone gets hurt, it's usually very detrimental to their business & the police want them shut. That's what happens if they play the wrong kind of music, attracting the wrong clientele who might turn up to stab or shoot people.

    I would rather go to a lovely London boozer that suits early than some hipster newyork bar "hidden" behind a fridge that's open to 4

      @@sugarcuba4628 bars arnt cool. Anything that considers itself cool or tries to be fails. But a decent backstreet boozer that has been there for years, well run, good service, good crowd. Perfect

      @@bengleiss9416 not even sure london has decent back street boozers... you mean like a pub? with a £7 pint... that kicks you out at 11? On a saturday night? and gives you a plastic if you haven't finished your overpriced pint... no thanks.
