London nightlife
There is always plenty to do after dark in the city, and once the clocks go back there is more nighttime to do it in! Check out the ever popular Lates series at London museums and galleries, or cheer yourself up from the winter blues this October with a dose live bands and DJ sets at The Nest in Dalston. Meanwhile, Ronnie Scott's jazz club is the place to go if you fancy a little jazz to take your mind off the cold and the dark; head there for some hot tunes.

Many people think there is nowhere else than the pub to go now that the nights are darker, but a number of fantastic events that take place around the weekend the clocks are turned back invite you to enjoy some booze in a very different surrounding. The Wine Show offers you the chance to learn a little more about all kinds of plonk from the experts, while later on in the season the Christmas markets offer all manner of mulled wine, spiced cider and other festive tipples.

Exhibitions in London
The weather isn't always crisp and cold in autumn in London; sometimes it's damp and horrid, so the best places to go are definitely indoors on these days. Check out some of the best exhibitions taking place in October for a little culture and warmth.
