The London School of Economics students union plays host to after skool club every saturday 10pm-3am. The oh so indie crowd often packs it out to drink lots upstairs and dance to indie anthems as well as good electro and dance music with a bit of pop thrown in for good measure. The bar staff work fairly quickly providing pretty cheap drinksat both bars. The up stairs seating area is for the most part comfortable for on the other hand there is definite evidence of student lif that clearly goes on during the day. WHich is not bad thing if you are a student to be honest as the main clientele of afterskool club are though it does attract people from outside the university too (though entry is cheaper if you are a member of the universtiy of london particularly and I think slightly cheaper is you are an NUS member). Not a bad night out to be honest and easy to get home from as it is near several bus stops. Oh and for those late night munchies there is a 24 hour subway down the road.The London School of Economics students union plays host to after skool club every saturday 10pm-3am.

The sister venue to the Astoria nexdoor which played host to legendary club nights such as Frong and G-A-Y for years, Astoria 2 is smaller but very similar. Downstairs a stage area and large dance floor with a small bar and upstairs a comparitively larger bar in a much smaller space. Having only been on a saturday night i know only what they play at Push. Indie hits mixed with electro and ironically played hip hop actually makes good music to dance to. The average age of the club is about 21 but ranges from 18 up wards. they are strict on id but if you are a student you normally get in for free and a whiskey and coke is very cheap at Â£1.50. Live music is often played but "celebrity" djs are usually the norm, the inverted commas refer to the fact that "celebrity" here means people from virtually unknown bands or better known ones like bloc party being the more famous. A good night out in an "underground" feeling night club, if there isnt anything betetr to do and you dont have much money.The sister venue to the Astoria nexdoor which played host to legendary club nights such as Frong and G-A-Y for years, Astoria 2 is smaller but very similar.
