Cable

A week in London on my OE (overseas experience) gave me the honour of visiting this establishment. It was a very unique bar/club, being built within the confines of the London Bridge Station. It had multiple rooms, a number of spots to purchase drinks and most importantly it had an atmosphere that most night crawlers enjoy, it was very dark and had an eerie feel to it. Sadly its uniqueness was also its downfall. The bar had to be closed as Network rail decided to redevelop the area. A night in Cable: - Tubed in with the whole crew after some pre-drinks at a friends flat. - Wandered through a couple of dark streets to get to the entrance (I really doubted my friends at one point). - Entered the club under the beautiful old brick archways of the station. - Purchased a couple of typically overpriced drinks. - Found a great spot in the dance floor to crank for the rest of the night. - Got lost trying to find the toilets. - Got lost and met new friends trying to find old friends. - Partied in all the different rooms and hidden spots of the labyrinth known as Cable. - Home for the sunrise.

A trip to Cable is an experience in itself, and most certainly not for one the faint-hearted. It is a place that exists outside of the constraints of time, catering to all those who refuse to believe that the party is over and wish to continue dancing late in to Sunday afternoons. It is the latest opening weekend club in London (some people joke that there are not even locks on the door) and is a magnet for those who refuse to club inside the normal hours (the Jaded section of the night runs from 5am-1pm on Sunday). Nicely tucked under London Bridge, the venue could be compared to a Vegas casino, once you enter the clock is thrown out of the window and before you know it, it's Sunday afternoon and you have to race home to get some well-needed sleep. The club carries an air of danger, all provided by the clientele, but this is part of the nightclubs charm. And from the moment you enter until you decide to leave, you will bump into your fair share of characters. You may love it, you may hate it. Cable is sure to divide opinions, but for the party animals amongst you or those eager to experience something different, the London Bridge based club will not disappoint. It is without frills, with a casual dress-code and a crowd bonded by a love for underground house music. On entering, you are immersing yourself in a sub-culture that may make some people uncomfortable, but for the open minded and the interested, the characters you will meet there and the energy of the place will be unforgettable, for good or for bad.

Aside from being an awesome, happening club during the week and weekend, Cable also features "Jaded Sunday Afterparties" that start at 5am Sunday morning! So for anyone that loves to keep on partying into the wee morning hours, this club is for you! Cable is in a convenient location just under the London Bridge and the club itself is pretty big. There are three different rooms you can hang out in depending on your mood; the upstairs balcony has comfy couches that are great for lounging, the downstairs main room has a great bar and the last room features another DJ booth and a large projection screen. Cable is a club that can cater to any person and any occasion- I encourage all to check it out if they can!
