Hotels for Gorgon City

Gorgon City bring their brand of house music to a lineup built for dancing rather than standing still. Expect deep basslines, four-to-the-floor rhythms and a crowd that skews toward seasoned clubbers and festival regulars rather than casual gig-goers. A Saturday night slot means a full evening of it, with no work day looming to cut the dancing short. The setting adds a bit of grandeur to a genre usually confined to darker, sweatier rooms.

Perched on a north London hilltop with sweeping views over the city, 'Ally Pally' is a grand Victorian pleasure palace turned much-loved concert, festival and darts venue. Its surrounding parkland, boating lake and the leafy streets of Muswell Hill and Wood Green give the area a relaxed, village-ish feel.

Alexandra Palace rail station and buses climb toward the entrance, linking to King's Cross in minutes. An overnight base nearby means you can enjoy the hilltop setting without a long downhill journey after dark.
