London
The UK's capital city knows what's up when it comes to getting out and about - with something for literally everyone. Drinking in wonderfully weird bars? Cool rooftops with skyline views? Brunch with endless bubbles? Super smart restaurants? London has got it all, and then some.

Birmingham
It may be famous for its canals, but Birmingham is also chock full of quirky watering holes. This Midlands hub prides itself on its innovative approach to nightlife, with mead-based bars, hidden gin dens, VIP clubbing experiences and a focus on British-based dining the tip of the iceberg.
Glasgow
As beautiful as it is cultural, Glasgow is a chameleon when it comes to food and drink, with wacky burger bars sitting alongside one of the best vegan scenes in the UK. Chuck in cute pubs, warehouse clubs and cocktails in historical buildings, and you're beginning to get a taste of this Scottish city.
