A Capital On Tap report even suggests 57% of London’s clubs will close by 2030 – but 2025 could change that. According to the report, London lost nearly 18% of its clubs and pubs between 2022 and 2025. Based on these figures alone, the UK capital is on chart for a steep decline. However, a string of new London clubs have already opened this month al
