"Edinburgh and Glasgow have a busier nightlife than London, according to data on late-night journeys from Uber. The global ride-hailing app analysed millions of trips and takeaway deliveries from the UK's biggest cities, and found that Edinburgh had the highest proportion of journeys made between 10pm and 4am. The most popular late-night spot was Cabaret Voltaire. Glasgow had the next highest number of late-night trips, with most rides requested to and from Sub Club, the world-renowned basement venue that has been going since 1987."
"London came third, with its most popular nightlife venue being Fabric. Cardiff also featured in the top 10, with Clwb Ifor Bach claiming the title of most requested nightlife spot. Separate data from the rival taxi app Bolt late last year showed a 15% increase in night-time activity in 2025 comparedwith the previous year, with the peak time to go out shifting from 11pm on Saturdays to midnight."
"The Music Venue Trust suggested earlier this week that there were reasons to be cheerful after bleak years for grassroots music venues in 2023 and 2024. Its annual report found that nearly as many venues opened or were revived as closed down an improvement on recent years. The number of nightclubs in the UK more than halved from 1,700 to 787 between 2013 and 2024 after being hit by the pandemic, legislative changes and the cost of living crisis."
