Tucked away under Shoreditch’s famous arches is Cargo, a music venue that caters for club nights and live gigs throughout the year. When the speakers aren’t pumping out a mix of house, techno and breakbeat sounds, courtesy of the in-house DJ’s and special guests, Cargo plays host to some of the finest bands in London and beyond. What it lacks in size it more than makes up for in atmosphere; the exposed brick archways, pipes and vents give the place a real underground and industrial texture.

Furthermore, this trendy East End spot isn’t just restricted to live music; it also boasts a wide range of cultural and imaginative events, such as film screenings, art displays and outdoor food festivals. Click here to find out what's on.

Opening times: Mon-Thur, 6pm-1am. Fri & Sat, 6pm-3am. Sun, 6pm-Midnight.
